Alfredo H. Arellano, PMHCNS-BC Psychiatric Practice – El Paso, Texas Ketamine Clinics

✓ Last verified: March 29, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: One of only a handful of approved Spravato treatment centers in El Paso — offering esketamine treatment across three convenient El Paso locations (Montana, Joe Battle, Beech) under a board-certified psychiatric nurse specialist.

HealingMaps Take: Alfredo Arellano’s psychiatric practice brings Spravato access to El Paso at the private-practice scale, complementing the larger academic program at TTUHSC. The three-location footprint — Montana Avenue (central El Paso), Joe Battle Boulevard (East El Paso), and Beech Street (West Central El Paso) — provides meaningful geographic flexibility that a single-location clinic cannot match. The PMHCNS-BC credential (Psychiatric Mental Health Clinical Nurse Specialist, Board Certified) combined with Arellano’s PA credentials means he can prescribe, monitor, and administer Spravato across the full treatment cycle without requiring separate physician oversight for routine care. As an approved Spravato treatment center, the practice follows REMS protocols — required for all legal Spravato administration — including the two-hour post-administration monitoring period. For El Paso patients who want Spravato outside the academic medical center setting, Arellano’s practice offers a smaller-scale alternative with direct clinician relationships. The practice’s focus on medication management alongside Spravato reflects appropriate clinical care: Spravato works best when paired with oral antidepressants as part of a coordinated treatment plan.

Market Position: Alfredo H. Arellano, PMHCNS-BC Psychiatric Practice is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Paso metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.
