About this clinic

Same care, much shorter drive.

For years, South Sound patients drove to Seattle for ketamine care. We opened Tacoma in 2019 to change that. The clinic is a smaller, quieter version of our Bellevue flagship, same protocols and care standards at all three locations, with a calm setting that feels less clinical and more like a healing space.

It is the right home base for patients in Tacoma, Lakewood, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, Olympia, and anywhere south of Federal Way who would rather not make the I-5 trip north for every session.

Healing Pathways

Focus on the outcome, not the treatments.

A healing pathway is a personalized care plan that combines the right stabilization treatment with support treatments to help you feel better and stay better. It is not just one treatment. It is a step-by-step approach built around your symptoms, goals, and overall well-being.

Most clinics offer just stabilization treatment to help with symptoms. For some patients, that can bring quick relief that often fades fast. Our healing pathways are different. With years of experience and care across multiple locations, we build pathways that support your whole body and overall well-being, not just one symptom.

Frequently asked

Common questions about ketamine therapy.

Have a question we haven’t answered? Call us at (206) 309-2299 or use the contact form below. We answer every inquiry personally.

Where is the best IV ketamine clinic in Tacoma, Washington?
Northwest Ketamine Clinics is the most experienced IV ketamine provider in Tacoma and the broader Pacific Northwest, with over 50,000 infusions delivered since 2017 across three Washington State locations. The Tacoma clinic is located at 1901 S Union Ave, Building B Suite 4001 and serves Tacoma, Olympia, Lacey, Federal Way, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and the wider South Sound.
How does IV ketamine infusion therapy work for depression and anxiety?
IV ketamine works differently from traditional antidepressants. It acts on the brain’s NMDA and glutamate receptors to rapidly form new neural connections, lifting depression and anxiety within hours or days rather than the four-to-six weeks that SSRIs typically require. Most patients complete an initial series of six 40-minute IV infusions over two to three weeks, with maintenance sessions every six to twelve weeks as needed.
What conditions does the Tacoma ketamine clinic treat?
The Tacoma location 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 clinic does not treat active psychosis or active manic episodes.
How much does IV ketamine cost in Tacoma, and is it covered by insurance?
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 and Denefits. Spravato is FDA-approved and may be covered by insurance through the Northwest Healing & Wellness partnership.
Do you offer Spravato at the Tacoma location?
Yes. The Tacoma location offers Spravato through its partnership with Northwest Healing & Wellness. Spravato is the FDA-approved nasal-spray form of esketamine for treatment-resistant depression.
How do I find a ketamine clinic near me in the South Sound?
Patients in Tacoma, Olympia, Lacey, Federal Way, Puyallup, Gig Harbor, and the wider South Sound can reach the Tacoma location at 1901 S Union Ave, Building B Suite 4001. New patients can call (206) 309-2299 for a 30-minute intake consultation, and most can begin treatment within one week.
How quickly can I start IV ketamine treatment in Tacoma?
Most new patients at the Tacoma location can begin IV ketamine treatment within one week of their first call. The next step is a 30-minute intake consultation with a nurse practitioner to confirm candidacy and review pathway options.
What does an IV ketamine infusion feel like at the Tacoma clinic?
During an IV ketamine infusion, the patient reclines in a private room with a blanket, eye mask, and music of their choice. Most patients describe the experience as calm, dream-like, and detached from everyday stress while remaining awake and able to communicate with the clinician throughout.
