HealingMaps Take: Music City Ketamine brings a unique warmth to the Nashville ketamine market. Founder Marla Peterson is a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist with over 20 years of anesthesia experience and MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies) Society membership, signaling a commitment to the therapeutic potential of ketamine beyond just clinical application. Peterson oversees every infusion herself with anesthesia-level monitoring, the clinic publishes a flat $475 per session, and it has built a trauma-informed program for trauma, grief and PTSD that coordinates with a patient’s own therapist. The option to have therapy dogs present during sessions adds a genuinely comforting touch. The clinic is open Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Market Position: Music City Ketamine is an IV-ketamine-focused clinic in the Nashville metro — the most common cash-pay protocol in the HealingMaps verified directory.

Is Music City Ketamine Right for You?

✓ Choose Music City Ketamine if:

✗ Look elsewhere if:

  • You need Spravato (FDA-approved esketamine) covered by your insurance
  • You want an in-house ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP) program — this clinic coordinates with your outside therapist instead

What to Ask on Your Consult Call

  • How long has the Music City Ketamine clinical team been delivering ketamine therapy, and what specialty training do your providers hold?
  • Does Music City Ketamine provide a superbill for out-of-network insurance reimbursement, and what’s a typical 6-session total cost including any follow-up?
  • How do you handle BCBS Tennessee, Cigna, and Aetna Spravato authorizations — and what’s the typical PA approval timeline?
  • What does Music City Ketamine recommend for patients who don’t respond to the standard 6-session acute series?

Patient Questions

This 4-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Music City Ketamine treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.

Is Music City Ketamine suited for treatment-resistant depression?

Music City Ketamine 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 Music City Ketamine treat chronic pain conditions?

Yes — Music City Ketamine treats chronic pain. They use IV ketamine for pain, which typically means longer infusion times and higher cumulative doses than mental-health protocols. Common indications include complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS), fibromyalgia, and certain neuropathic pain syndromes. Pain pricing varies significantly by structure: per-infusion vs. multi-day inpatient packages — verify how this clinic structures their billing.

Does Music City Ketamine treat PTSD?

Yes — Music City Ketamine 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 Music City Ketamine help with anxiety disorders?

Yes — Music City Ketamine 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.
