About The Ketamine Association
Dedicated to advancing safe, effective, and accessible ketamine therapy through provider education, patient advocacy, and rigorous standards.
Transforming Mental Health Through Ketamine Therapy
The Ketamine Association is the leading professional organization dedicated to establishing and maintaining the highest standards of care in ketamine therapy. We connect patients with verified, credentialed providers while advancing education, research, and advocacy in the rapidly evolving field of ketamine-assisted treatments.
Our mission is to ensure that everyone who could benefit from ketamine therapy has access to safe, effective treatment delivered by qualified professionals who meet our rigorous standards.
A Decade of Innovation in Mental Health
The Ketamine Association was founded in 2012 by a group of pioneering physicians who recognized ketamine's extraordinary potential for treating depression, chronic pain, and other conditions that had proven resistant to conventional treatments.
What began as an informal network of like-minded practitioners has grown into the nation's leading professional association for ketamine therapy providers, setting industry standards, developing training programs, and advocating for patients' access to this transformative treatment.
Today, we represent over 500 verified providers across 48 states, and our members have helped more than 50,000 patients find relief when other treatments have failed.
