HealingMaps Take: Stella Mental Health brings a comprehensive suite of advanced treatments to their New York location, including Spravato, individual and group ketamine-assisted therapy, Stellate Ganglion Block for PTSD, and TMS. Their acquisition of Field Trip Health expanded their footprint and expertise. With Spravato co-pays potentially as low as $10 and Aetna in-network for some services, they offer more insurance-friendly options than many ketamine providers. A strong choice for patients seeking evidence-based, insurance-accessible ketamine treatment in Manhattan.
Market Position: Stella Mental Health is a Spravato-certified clinic in the York metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.

Patient Questions about Stella Mental Health
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Stella Mental Health treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Stella Mental Health offer?
Stella Mental Health offers Spravato and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.
Does Stella Mental Health offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Stella Mental Health offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Does Stella Mental Health offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Stella Mental Health offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Stella Mental Health suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Stella Mental Health treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Can Stella Mental Health help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Stella Mental Health 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.
