✓ Last verified: April 13, 2026 — Edited & verified by Angelica Bottaro for HealingMaps Editorial Staff

Known For: Full-service psychiatric practice integrating ketamine infusions into ongoing care, treating an unusually broad range of conditions including migraines and postpartum depression

HealingMaps Take: Ballard Psychiatry stands out by integrating ketamine into a comprehensive psychiatric practice rather than operating as a standalone infusion clinic. Led by nurse practitioners Brian Noonan and Kimmer Collison, the clinic treats an unusually broad range of conditions — including migraines, pre-menstrual mood disorders, and postpartum depression alongside standard depression and PTSD. This continuity of care means patients receive ketamine as one tool within a holistic treatment plan. Recognized as one of Seattle’s best ketamine clinics for 2026 by HealingMaps.

Market Position: Ballard Psychiatry is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Seattle metro — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.

Patient Questions about Ballard Psychiatry

This 3-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Ballard Psychiatry treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Is Ballard Psychiatry suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Ballard Psychiatry treats depression via IV ketamine (off-label, evidence-based). Insurance coverage is rare for IV/KAP — most patients pay out of pocket. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.

Does Ballard Psychiatry treat PTSD?

Yes — Ballard Psychiatry treats PTSD. Ketamine for trauma differs from depression treatment: dosing is often lower per session, and pairing the protocol with trauma-focused therapy between sessions is common. A reasonable consult question: whether PTSD patients here typically use ketamine alone or alongside an outside therapist.

Can Ballard Psychiatry help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Ballard Psychiatry treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
