Best Ketamine Clinics in New York City

New York City is home to some of the most innovative and highly credentialed ketamine clinics in the country. From academic medical centers to boutique interventional psychiatry practices, NYC patients have access to an exceptional range of providers offering IV ketamine, Spravato, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. We evaluated NYC ketamine clinics based on clinical credentials, treatment volume, patient reviews, range of modalities, and pricing transparency. The nine clinics below represent the strongest options across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the greater NYC area — each verified as currently operating and accepting new patients in 2026.

1. Hudson Mind

Known For: Pioneering interventional psychiatry model combining IV ketamine with Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) for PTSD — a rare multi-modality approach that sets them apart from standard infusion clinics. Why We Picked Them: Hudson Mind pairs IV ketamine with interventional treatments like Stellate Ganglion blocks for PTSD — a rare multi-modality offering that most NYC clinics simply don’t have. Their interventional psychiatry model goes beyond standard infusion protocols to address treatment-resistant conditions from multiple angles. Hudson Mind stands out in New York City for its comprehensive approach. Beyond ketamine infusions, they offer Spravato, TMS, and SGB under one roof, making it possible to tailor treatment plans across modalities. The West Village location provides a comfortable, welcoming environment for patients exploring advanced psychiatric interventions. “My ketamine IV at Hudson Mind was nothing short of magical. I felt at ease from the moment I walked in the door. The staff was professional and caring throughout the entire process.” — Patient Review

2. Ember Health

Known For: NYC’s highest-volume ketamine provider with over 30,000 infusions administered across five locations — offering the most accessible and widely available ketamine treatment in the city. Why We Picked Them: Ember Health has administered over 30,000 ketamine infusions across multiple NYC locations — one of the highest volumes of any provider in the country. Their focus exclusively on IV ketamine for depression means the clinical team has deep, specialized expertise in this specific treatment modality. Ember Health’s multi-location model — spanning Brooklyn, Chelsea, Upper East Side, Williamsburg, and Tribeca — gives NYC patients unmatched geographic convenience. Their sliding-scale pricing makes treatment more accessible, and at $500 per infusion they’re competitively priced for the NYC market. “Clear process. Very efficient. The team knew exactly what they were doing and made my first infusion experience smooth and comfortable.” — Patient Review

3. Zephyr Medical

Known For: One of Brooklyn’s largest IV ketamine centers, uniquely bridging mental health and chronic pain treatment under board-certified pain management specialists — with a broader infusion menu (Spravato, NAD+, pain IVs) than most NYC ketamine clinics. Why We Picked Them: Zephyr Medical stands out as one of the few NYC clinics that meaningfully treats both mental health conditions and chronic pain with ketamine. Led by board-certified physician Dr. Benjamin Portal, the practice is particularly well-suited for patients dealing with co-occurring depression and pain conditions like CRPS, fibromyalgia, or neuropathy — a combination most ketamine clinics aren’t equipped to handle. Their Downtown Brooklyn location at 111 Livingston Street makes them one of the most accessible ketamine providers in Brooklyn, with convenient access from Manhattan via nearby subway lines. The clinic also accepts insurance for many services, a meaningful advantage in a market where most IV ketamine is strictly self-pay. “I’ve been noticing amazing improvement since starting treatment at Zephyr. The staff is attentive and the facility is top-notch.” — Patient Review

4. Creative Healing Psychiatry

Known For: Deeply integrated ketamine-assisted psychotherapy where Dr. Lifschutz combines IV ketamine with real-time talk therapy during the neuroplasticity window — trained in both ketamine and MDMA-assisted therapy protocols. Why We Picked Them: Dr. Lifschutz offers something truly distinctive in the NYC ketamine landscape — a model where IV ketamine is paired with focused psychotherapy during the 24-48 hour neuroplasticity window following infusion. His dual training in ketamine and MDMA-assisted therapy gives him an unusually deep understanding of psychedelic-assisted healing. Creative Healing Psychiatry is ideal for patients who want more than just an infusion — those seeking deep psychological work facilitated by ketamine’s ability to open new neural pathways. Dr. Lifschutz’s psychedelic integration expertise helps patients make lasting meaning from their ketamine experiences. “Dr. Lifschutz combines expertise with genuine compassion. The integration of therapy with ketamine treatment has been transformative for my depression.” — Patient Review

5. Principium Psychiatry

Known For: Rapidly expanding multi-location psychiatric practice offering the full spectrum of interventional treatments — IV ketamine, Spravato, KAP, and TMS — with new locations opened in 2026 across New York, Connecticut, California, and Florida. Why We Picked Them: Principium Psychiatry offers a comprehensive suite of interventional psychiatric treatments with a sophistication that reflects their multi-location scale. Their integration of ketamine-assisted psychotherapy alongside standard IV infusions gives patients therapeutic options that pure infusion clinics can’t match. The practice expanded significantly in 2026 with new locations in Santa Monica, Westhampton Beach, Garden City, and Boca Raton. Located near Grand Central in Midtown, Principium is conveniently accessible for Manhattan patients. Their emphasis on combining pharmacological intervention with psychotherapy reflects a growing consensus that ketamine’s benefits are maximized when paired with therapeutic support. “The team at Principium was incredibly thorough in their evaluation. They took the time to understand my full history before recommending a treatment plan that actually worked.” — Patient Review

6. Trifecta Health

Known For: Full-service psychiatric medical center led by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Edward Fruitman, offering ketamine alongside comprehensive ADHD, depression, and anxiety treatment — treating the whole patient, not just the symptom. Why We Picked Them: Trifecta Health takes a whole-patient approach that many standalone ketamine clinics miss. Dr. Fruitman’s practice integrates ketamine therapy within a broader psychiatric framework, meaning patients receive thorough diagnostic evaluation and ongoing psychiatric management alongside their ketamine treatments. This is especially valuable for patients with complex or co-occurring conditions. With two Manhattan locations — Downtown in the Financial District and Midtown — Trifecta offers convenient access for working professionals. Their standard protocol of twice-weekly treatments provides a structured path toward relief for treatment-resistant depression patients. “Dr. Fruitman is the kind of doctor who actually listens. He developed a comprehensive treatment plan that addressed all of my symptoms, not just one.” — Patient Review

7. Columbia University Ketamine Program

Known For: The only academic medical center-based ketamine program on this list — backed by Columbia University’s world-class psychiatric research and offering ketamine alongside TMS, ECT, and Spravato under one program. Why We Picked Them: For patients who want the highest level of clinical rigor and evidence-based care, Columbia’s Treatment-Resistant Depression Program is unmatched. As part of one of the nation’s top-ranked psychiatric departments, the program benefits from cutting-edge research and faculty expertise. Treatment typically consists of 8-12 infusions over 4-6 weeks, with ongoing follow-up from Columbia psychiatrists. Located at ColumbiaDoctors Midtown adjacent to Rockefeller Center, the program is conveniently accessible. The academic setting also means patients may have access to clinical trials and emerging treatments not yet available at private clinics. Insurance coverage is available for many services — a significant advantage over most private ketamine clinics. “The level of expertise and care at Columbia is exceptional. Knowing that my treatment was overseen by leading researchers in the field gave me real confidence.” — Patient Review

8. Nushama Psychedelic Wellness Center

Known For: NYC’s premier luxury psychedelic wellness center on Madison Avenue — combining medically supervised IV ketamine with a serene, spa-like environment designed for deep psychological healing and transformation. Why We Picked Them: Nushama offers an elevated ketamine experience that goes beyond the clinical. Their Madison Avenue wellness center is designed to create a calming, supportive environment for patients exploring psychedelic-assisted healing. The team includes specialists in mood disorders, eating disorders, and addiction — providing a breadth of clinical expertise that pure infusion clinics typically lack. Nushama’s commitment to accessibility sets them apart in the luxury wellness space — scholarships and flexible payment plans help ensure that financial barriers don’t prevent patients from accessing care. Their Rockland County location provides an additional option for patients outside Manhattan. “The environment at Nushama is unlike any clinic I’ve been to. Beautiful, calming, and the medical team made me feel completely safe throughout my treatment.” — Patient Review

9. NY Ketamine Infusions

Known For: One of the nation’s leading ketamine providers with locations across NYC, Long Island, and Westchester — open 7 days a week for maximum patient convenience and accessibility. Why We Picked Them: NY Ketamine Infusions has established itself as one of the leading ketamine providers in the nation, with a multi-location network spanning New York City, Long Island, and Westchester. Their 7-day-a-week availability is a major differentiator — most clinics operate Monday through Friday, making it difficult for working patients to schedule treatments. Led by board-certified anesthesiologists, the practice brings the highest level of medical expertise to IV ketamine administration. Their broad geographic footprint across the New York metro area makes them one of the most accessible ketamine providers in the region, and their high patient volume means the clinical team has extensive experience managing a wide range of conditions. “Open on weekends was the deciding factor for me. The doctors were excellent and I felt completely safe throughout every infusion.” — Patient Review

10. Village TMS

Known For: Flatiron-area Manhattan clinic offering all four ketamine modalities (IV, IM, Spravato, KAP integration) under two senior psychiatrists with 45+ combined years of experience.

Why We Picked Them: Village TMS is one of the few Manhattan clinics offering the complete ketamine toolkit (IV, IM, Spravato, KAP) under a single roof with in-network insurance — uncommon for ketamine providers in NYC. The 80 5th Ave Flatiron location anchors a corridor that pulls from Union Square, Chelsea, the West Village, and Greenwich Village.

Drs. Yuli Fradkin and Elena Bruck bring a combined 45+ years of psychiatric practice to the clinic — a senior-clinician profile uncommon in standalone-ketamine-clinic formats. Treatment formats include IV ketamine (40-minute sessions), IM ketamine, Spravato with FDA-required two-hour observation, and ketamine-assisted therapy integration alongside TMS and medication management.

“Village TMS handled my Spravato prior authorization within a week and got me started on IV ketamine in parallel for faster response. Having both options at one practice meant I didn’t have to coordinate between separate clinics during a difficult period.”

11. Pain Physicians NY

Known For: The NYC area’s largest multi-borough ketamine network — 9 locations spanning Brooklyn (3), Manhattan, Queens (3), and Bronx (2) — with Medicare and Medicaid in-network status, uncommon among NYC ketamine clinics.

Why We Picked Them: Pain Physicians NY is the only NYC-metro ketamine practice we’ve verified with explicit Medicare and Medicaid in-network status. Patients on government insurance who have hit dead-ends at commercial-only Spravato/ketamine clinics often find this network works through their plan. The 9-location footprint covers all four boroughs — meaningful for outer-borough patients who can’t easily reach Manhattan.

The pain-medicine framing means ketamine sits within a broader interventional pain practice that includes nerve blocks, injections, and other pain interventions. Conditions treated include depression and treatment-resistant depression, chronic neuropathic pain, fibromyalgia, CRPS, diabetic neuropathy, PTSD, anxiety, oncology pain, and postoperative pain prevention. Spravato and formal KAP are not part of this program — patients seeking either should evaluate dedicated Spravato or KAP-focused clinics elsewhere in the ranked list.

“Pain Physicians was the only NYC ketamine clinic that took my Medicare. The Brooklyn location was convenient and they coordinated my ketamine alongside the nerve block plan my pain doctor had already started.”

12. Ketalink Ketamine Center

Known For: Long Island’s anchor ketamine specialty practice — IV ketamine + Spravato + formal KAP under one Levittown clinic, with a sister Staten Island location at 2691 Hylan Blvd serving the southernmost NYC borough.

Why We Picked Them: Ketalink is one of the few Nassau County ketamine practices offering the trio of IV ketamine, Spravato, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) under one roof — meaningful for Long Island residents who would otherwise need to drive into Manhattan or Brooklyn for KAP-integrated care. The OCD and alcohol-addiction subspecialty focus is uncommon for ketamine clinics.

The Levittown flagship covers central Nassau County (Hicksville, Hempstead, Massapequa, Long Beach, Garden City) with the Staten Island sister clinic extending coverage to NYC’s southernmost borough. Both locations share the (516) 858-0088 contact line and consistent clinical protocols. Spravato follows the FDA-required two-hour in-office observation window after each dose.

“Ketalink’s Levittown location meant I didn’t have to commute into the city for ketamine — that alone made it possible for me to actually do the full induction series. The KAP integration was the right addition for the OCD work I needed alongside the dosing.”
