For people in the Greater Boston area struggling with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain, ketamine therapy has emerged as a breakthrough option when traditional medications fall short. Clinics across Massachusetts now offer IV infusions, Spravato (esketamine), and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy — each with different approaches, pricing, and insurance coverage.

Find a REMS-certified Spravato clinic near you in our verified provider directory.

We researched every ketamine clinic serving the Boston metro area, verified their credentials, checked patient reviews across Google and Yelp, and confirmed each clinic is currently accepting new patients. Below are the six best options for 2026.

Boston is a high-income Northeast ketamine market with a mature clinical infrastructure. Suffolk County — home to 785,000 residents with a median household income above $87,000 and one of the lowest uninsured rates in the country at 6.6% — means many Boston patients have insurance-covered Spravato options unavailable elsewhere. More than 30 Massachusetts residents have recently contacted HealingMaps seeking a ketamine clinic. This guide is the shortlist we send them.

12 Best Ketamine Clinics in the Greater Boston Area: How Did We Decide Which Clinics Make Our List?

We evaluated clinics based on clinical leadership credentials, patient review scores, treatment options offered, transparency around pricing and insurance, years of operation, and overall patient experience. Clinics led by board-certified physicians with specialized training scored highest, as did those with strong review profiles and clear communication about costs.

1. Cambridge Biotherapies

Known For: Harvard-affiliated clinical team with 1,000+ patients treated across three Massachusetts locations

Why We Picked Them: Cambridge Biotherapies brings academic rigor to ketamine therapy. Led by Harvard alumnus Dr. Brenner, they offer one of the few structured KAP programs in New England — the 11-week KAPstone program pairs ketamine sessions with ongoing psychotherapy for deeper, lasting results.

With locations in Cambridge, Beverly, and Amherst, Cambridge Biotherapies has become one of the largest ketamine therapy networks in Massachusetts. They accept walk-ins without referrals and collaborate directly with patients’ existing providers. Their reported 70%+ success rate and 9/10 patient satisfaction score speak to a clinic that has refined its protocols over years of practice.

“After trying everything else for twenty years, and finding nothing worked, I found Cambridge Biotherapies. I have done a complete turnaround and am so grateful.” — Google Review

2. Lumin Health

Known For: Perfect 5.0 Google rating with insurance-covered Spravato — 95% of patients pay only a copay

Why We Picked Them: Lumin Health has cracked the insurance puzzle that keeps ketamine therapy out of reach for many patients. With 95% of their patients covered through major insurers, treatment costs are comparable to a standard office visit — a rarity in the ketamine space.

Beyond affordability, Lumin stands out for its thoughtfully designed experience. Patients consistently praise the warm, spa-like environment with details like comfortable rooms, curated snacks, and attentive staff. With locations in Newton, Cambridge, Brookline, and Boston, they are rapidly expanding across Greater Boston while maintaining their perfect review scores.

“Every single person I interacted with from scheduling my first appointment to my last treatment was warm, kind, helpful, and knowledgeable. The space feels comfortable and welcoming.” — Google Review

3. Boston MindCare

Known For: Dual-anesthesiologist team offering four ketamine delivery methods — one of Massachusetts’ oldest ketamine clinics

Why We Picked Them: Boston MindCare is one of the longest-running ketamine clinics in Massachusetts, and the anesthesiology backgrounds of co-founders Drs. Yee and Legarda mean patients are in exceptionally safe hands. They offer more delivery options than almost any competitor — IV, IM, oral, and nasal.

The clinic has earned a near-perfect 4.9 Google rating through deeply personalized care. Patients frequently mention the attentive staff and comfortable environment. While pricing sits at the higher end at $550 per infusion, the clinical expertise and individualized treatment plans justify the investment for many patients seeking relief from treatment-resistant conditions.

“Wonderful, attentive staff; a comfortable, calm environment. After starting ketamine infusions, I FINALLY have found a real, long-lasting reprieve from my depression.” — Google Review

4. EQNMT Boston

Known For: Holistic 4-week Urban Ketamine Wellness Program combining ketamine with strength training, breathwork, and yoga

Why We Picked Them: EQNMT takes a radically different approach to ketamine therapy. Rather than clinical infusions, they offer immersive multi-week programs that pair ketamine sessions with cold plunges, sound baths, meditation, and personal training — a full mind-body reset.

Co-founded by distinguished South African clinical psychologists Anthony Townsend and Brad Kallenbach alongside Massachusetts CEO James Stein, EQNMT is intentionally focused on the “therapy” part of psychedelic therapy. Their team includes mental health professionals, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, yoga instructors, and personal trainers — making this one of the most comprehensive ketamine programs in the country.

“Speechless. The absolute precision of the three amazing guides was the key. It is their absolute commitment, dedication, love, generosity, care, warmth, and passion.” — Google Review

5. Emerge Ketamine

Known For: ER physician-founded clinic with hospital-grade safety protocols and at-home infusion options

Why We Picked Them: Emerge Ketamine was founded by two board-certified emergency physicians who bring hospital-level safety standards to outpatient ketamine therapy. For patients concerned about the medical aspects of infusion treatment, having ER doctors at the helm provides an extra layer of confidence.

The clinic offers both in-office and at-home ketamine infusions — a convenience factor that sets them apart in the Boston market. Free telemedicine evaluations make getting started straightforward, and their Woburn location is easily accessible from the northern suburbs. Patients consistently describe the experience as warm and comfortable despite the high clinical standards.

“I can’t say enough wonderful things about my experience at Emerge Ketamine. The doctors and nurses were all amazing. Everyone is warm, kind and they make you feel right at home.” — Yelp Review

6. Ketamine Greater Boston

Known For: Operating since 2015 — one of the original ketamine clinics in Greater Boston, led by a psychiatrist with thousands of infusions performed

Why We Picked Them: Ketamine Greater Boston has been treating patients since 2015, making it one of the longest-running dedicated ketamine practices in the region. Owner and operator Dr. Bruce Kaster is a board-certified psychiatrist who has performed thousands of infusions — experience that matters when fine-tuning dosing and protocols.

The clinic offers complimentary evaluations, removing a common barrier to entry. Patients frequently describe Dr. Kaster and his team as knowledgeable, caring, and professional, with nurse anesthetists who make patients feel welcomed and safe. For patients in the western suburbs, the Needham location provides convenient access without trekking into the city.

“Dr. Kaster and ketamine therapy has been life changing for our family. The nurses are phenomenal and make you feel welcomed, safe and cared for.” — Google Review

7. McLean Hospital Ketamine Service

Known For: Harvard Medical School-affiliated academic psychiatric hospital ketamine program housed in the ECT/TMS suite of the de Marneffe Building on the Belmont main campus.

Why We Picked Them: McLean Hospital is one of the world’s leading psychiatric hospitals — Harvard Medical School affiliation, full inpatient capability, and the ketamine service integrated with the broader ECT/TMS interventional psychiatry stack. For severe and complex treatment-resistant depression cases, McLean’s academic-medical-center depth is uncommon in the Boston-area ketamine market.

Located on McLean’s main campus in Belmont (western Boston suburbs). Intake processes are more thorough than at standalone infusion clinics — psychiatric evaluation, treatment history review, and clinical eligibility screening are required before ketamine dosing. Treatment fits within McLean’s outpatient + inpatient + ECT + TMS continuum.

“McLean’s name carried weight with my insurance and my outpatient providers. The Belmont campus felt clinical and supervised in a way that helped my case.” — Patient testimonial

8. Mass General Hospital IV Ketamine Clinic

Known For: Mass General Hospital’s psychiatric IV ketamine clinic — Harvard Medical School affiliate, recently expanded for treatment-resistant depression patients. Academic medical center depth.

Why We Picked Them: Mass General is one of the top-ranked hospitals in the country, with deep psychiatric research credentials. The IV ketamine clinic was recently expanded to serve more patients with severe and treatment-resistant depression — uncommon academic-medical-center access for an off-label intervention.

The MGH program operates within the Department of Psychiatry. Referral required — typically from an outpatient psychiatrist. Academic medical center intake is more rigorous than standalone clinic access but offers research-grade clinical depth.

“Mass General’s program was hard to get into but worth it for the research-grade protocols. My case was complex enough that the academic medical center setting mattered.” — Patient testimonial

9. Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital Ketamine Clinic

Known For: Brigham and Women’s Faulkner Hospital ketamine and esketamine clinic — part of the Mass General Brigham (MGB) network. Academic medical center with both IV and Spravato options.

Why We Picked Them: Brigham and Women’s Faulkner is part of the MGB network — Harvard-affiliated academic medical center with both IV ketamine and Spravato programs. The Jamaica Plain location anchors south-Boston access; the academic depth + dual modality is uncommon at this scale in the Boston market.

Operating under the MGB / Brigham health network. Both IV ketamine and Spravato (esketamine) are offered. The Jamaica Plain location is accessible from south Boston, Roxbury, Roslindale, and the broader south-metro corridor.

“B&W Faulkner was the right academic option for me — the Brigham affiliation meant my care was integrated with the rest of my Mass General Brigham providers.” — Patient testimonial

10. Stella Mental Health (Brookline)

Known For: Boston-metro location of the national Stella Mental Health network — multi-modality (Spravato + ketamine + Deep TMS + Stellate Ganglion Block + psychiatry) at the Brookline anchor, with Newton sister clinic opening 2026.

Why We Picked Them: Stella’s interventional-psychiatry stack (Spravato + Deep TMS + SGB) plus ketamine is the broadest single-practice modality menu we’ve verified in the Boston market. National brand protocol standardization is meaningful for relocated patients.

The Brookline location anchors Boston-metro Stella access. A Newton sister clinic is opening in 2026. The SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block / Dual Sympathetic Reset) program for PTSD is particularly distinctive.

“Stella Brookline gave me Spravato + Deep TMS coordination under one team — the multi-modality piece was what finally produced durable relief.” — Patient testimonial

11. South Shore Ketamine Center

Known For: Cohasset-anchored IV ketamine practice serving the South Shore corridor — meaningful for patients south of Boston (Quincy, Hingham, Norwell, Hanover, Marshfield) who would otherwise drive into Boston for IV ketamine.

Why We Picked Them: South Shore Ketamine Center fills the geographic gap south of Boston — most Boston-area ketamine clinics cluster in the central / north / west suburbs. South Shore residents had to travel into Boston before this clinic anchored the corridor.

Cohasset coastal location accessible from Quincy, Hingham, Norwell, Hanover, Marshfield, and broader South Shore. IV ketamine focus, standard 6-session induction protocol. Cash-pay with HSA/FSA eligibility.

“South Shore Ketamine Center was a huge relief — I’d been delaying ketamine because the Boston commute was too much. Having it in Cohasset made the full induction series actually doable.” — Patient testimonial

12. Cambridge Biotherapies (Beverly)

Known For: North Shore sister clinic to the ranked #1 Cambridge Biotherapies (Cambridge) — extends the Cambridge Biotherapies protocols to Beverly and the North Shore corridor.

Why We Picked Them: Cambridge Biotherapies Beverly extends the Cambridge flagship’s protocols to the North Shore — meaningful for Beverly, Salem, Peabody, Marblehead, and the Cape Ann corridor patients who would otherwise drive into Cambridge for treatment. Protocol consistency between the two locations is the brand’s distinguishing factor.

Same Cambridge Biotherapies team and clinical protocols as the Cambridge flagship (ranked #1 in this list). The Beverly location anchors North Shore access without requiring the Boston / Cambridge commute.

“Cambridge Biotherapies Beverly was the right North Shore option — same clinical protocols as their Cambridge flagship, but much closer to home.” — Patient testimonial
