If you’re researching ketamine therapy in Seattle, one of your first questions is likely: “How much does it cost?” We believe in transparency, so here’s a straightforward breakdown of what you can expect to pay for ketamine-assisted therapy in the Seattle area.

What Affects the Cost of Ketamine Therapy?
1. Type of Administration
IV Infusions tend to be the most expensive because they require:
- Continuous medical monitoring
- Specialized equipment
- Higher staffing requirements
Intramuscular (IM) and oral ketamine are often more affordable while still being highly effective for many patients.
2. Therapeutic Support
Here’s an important distinction: some clinics offer ketamine-only treatments, while others (like Integrative Soulutions) provide ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
- Ketamine-only clinics: Lower per-session cost, but often require more sessions
- Integrative approach: Higher value because you receive medicine and therapeutic guidance
We believe the integration work is where the real transformation happens. Without it, you may find yourself needing repeat treatments more frequently.
3. Provider Credentials
Clinics staffed by physicians typically charge more than those using nurse practitioners alone. At Integrative Soulutions, a board-certified physician oversees all care, ensuring the highest level of safety and expertise.
4. Location Within Seattle
Clinics in downtown Seattle or Bellevue often have higher overhead costs. Our location in Seattle’s 98144 zip code allows us to offer competitive pricing while maintaining a welcoming, healing environment.
Does Insurance Cover Ketamine Therapy in Seattle?
The Short Answer
Most insurance plans do not cover ketamine for mental health treatment because it is prescribed “off-label” (meaning it’s FDA-approved, but not specifically for depression or PTSD).
However, You Have Options:
-
Superbill for Reimbursement We provide a detailed superbill (receipt) that you can submit to your insurance company. Many patients with out-of-network mental health benefits receive partial reimbursement.
-
HSA/FSA Accounts Ketamine therapy is typically eligible for payment through Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA).
-
Sliding Scale & Payment Plans We believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to healing. Ask us about our flexible payment options.
Why Cheaper Isn’t Always Better
When comparing costs, be cautious of clinics offering significantly lower prices. Consider:
- What’s included? Does the price cover preparation and integration sessions, or just the medicine?
- Who is providing care? Is a physician involved, or is it a strip-mall infusion center?
- What is the therapeutic environment like? Healing happens best in a safe, comfortable space—not a sterile medical suite.
At Integrative Soulutions, our pricing reflects a comprehensive approach that includes:
- Initial medical and psychological evaluation
- Preparation session before your first treatment
- The ketamine therapy session itself
- Post-session integration support
- Ongoing communication with your care team
Is Ketamine Therapy Worth the Investment?
Consider what you’ve already spent on:
- Years of therapy without breakthrough
- Multiple medications with side effects
- Lost productivity from depression or anxiety
- The toll on your relationships and quality of life
Many of our Seattle patients describe ketamine-assisted therapy as the treatment that finally worked when nothing else did. The upfront cost can seem significant, but the long-term value—actually getting better—is often priceless.
