Ketamine infusions in Seattle, Bellevue & Tacoma, delivered with data and care.

Northwest Ketamine Clinics is the most experienced IV ketamine provider in the Pacific Northwest, with three Washington State locations in Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma. The practice has delivered over 50,000 IV ketamine infusions since 2017, is LegitScript-certified, ASKP3-certified, and recognized as a Seattle Met Top Doctors practice. The flagship Bellevue clinic at 1750 112th Ave NE serves the Eastside; the Seattle clinic at 600 Broadway on First Hill serves downtown Seattle, Capitol Hill, and Queen Anne; the Tacoma clinic at 1901 S Union Ave serves Tacoma, Olympia, and the wider South Sound.

IV ketamine infusion therapy is the slow intravenous administration of a low, sub-anesthetic dose of ketamine in a monitored medical setting to treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and chronic pain. Each infusion lasts approximately 40 minutes, during which ketamine acts on the brain's NMDA and glutamate receptors to rapidly form new neural connections, a process called neuroplasticity. Most patients feel meaningful relief within their first one to three sessions, often when SSRIs and other antidepressants have failed.

Northwest Ketamine Clinics treats treatment-resistant depression, generalized and social anxiety, PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, postpartum depression, bipolar depression, substance use disorders, and chronic pain conditions including CRPS, fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraine. The practice specializes in patients for whom traditional medications and therapies have not provided adequate relief. Northwest Ketamine Clinics does not treat active psychosis or active manic episodes.

IV ketamine is considered off-label and is not covered by insurance, but Northwest Ketamine Clinics provides superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and offers financing through CareCredit as a Preferred Provider. Most patients begin with a Healing Pathway, a personalized plan that bundles a full six-session IV ketamine series with supportive care, starting at $2,899, with payment options as low as $73 per month. Spravato is FDA-approved and may be covered by insurance, offered through Northwest Healing & Wellness at $99 per visit out-of-network.

A referral is rarely required at Northwest Ketamine Clinics. Patients do need an established diagnosis from a treating provider and to have tried at least one prior treatment, such as an SSRI, SNRI, or therapy, for the condition being treated. The free 30-minute intake call confirms whether IV ketamine, Spravato, or another pathway is the right fit before any medical visit is scheduled.

Most patients at Northwest Ketamine Clinics feel meaningful relief within their first one to three infusions. In our outcomes data across more than 50,000 infusions, 96% of patients report noticeable improvement and 86% report their symptoms reduced by half or more within one to three weeks of starting treatment. A standard initial series is six infusions over two to three weeks, followed by maintenance sessions every six to twelve weeks.

IV ketamine has an excellent safety record when delivered in a medical setting by trained clinicians. At Northwest Ketamine Clinics, every infusion is administered by a nurse practitioner or RN, vital signs are monitored continuously, and a medical director is on call. Patients are screened for cardiovascular and psychiatric contraindications during intake, and side effects typically resolve within an hour after the infusion ends.

During an IV ketamine infusion, patients recline in a private suite with a blanket, eye mask, and music of their choice. Within five minutes of the infusion starting, most patients feel a gentle, dream-like dissociation, often described as floating, watching thoughts from a distance, or moving through soft visual landscapes. Patients remain awake and able to communicate with the clinician throughout.

Northwest Ketamine Clinics has three Washington State locations: Seattle, Bellevue, and Tacoma. The practice regularly treats patients traveling from Olympia, Lacey, Federal Way, Kent, Renton, Everett, Bellingham, and Portland, Oregon. The Tacoma clinic is the closest location for South Sound and Olympia patients, and patients can switch between locations between sessions if travel is easier.

Northwest Ketamine Clinics has delivered over 50,000 IV ketamine infusions since 2017, more than any other ketamine clinic in Washington State or the Pacific Northwest. The practice is family-run, ASKP3-certified, LegitScript-certified, and named a Seattle Met Top Doctors practice. Through the partnership with Northwest Healing & Wellness, patients can access IV ketamine, Spravato, KAP, IV vitamin therapy, and medication management under a single coordinated care plan.
