Why Nashville Patients Choose MCK

Boutique Care,
Not a Big-Box Clinic

Nashville has options for ketamine therapy. So why do patients drive 15 minutes south to Franklin? Because Music City Ketamine is not a volume-driven clinic cycling patients through assembly-line infusions.

Here, you are greeted by therapy dogs Walter White and Wilma. They're here because people relax faster when something feels safe. Your treatment room feels like a sanctuary, not a hospital bay. Your provider, Marla Peterson, CRNA, continuously monitors every infusion — adjusting dosage in real time and ensuring your comfort.

For Nashville residents battling treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, or chronic pain, the short drive to Franklin is the beginning of a completely different kind of care experience.

You are greeted by therapy dogs, treated by a board-certified CRNA who continuously monitors every infusion and adjusts in real time, with hospital-grade standards in private treatment rooms.

How far is Music City Ketamine from downtown Nashville?

What conditions does ketamine therapy treat?

IV ketamine is used for treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, suicidal ideation, postpartum depression, and chronic pain. Clinical studies show 45–65% of patients respond within 24 hours and 52% reach remission, often after failing two or more traditional antidepressants.

How much does ketamine therapy cost in Nashville?

IV ketamine for mental health conditions is $475 per session at Music City Ketamine. Chronic pain infusions range from $475 to $1,425 per session depending on duration. Free phone consultations are offered before any commitment.

Is IV ketamine better than at-home sublingual ketamine?

IV ketamine has approximately 100% bioavailability compared to 20–30% for sublingual troches, and it is administered in real time by a CRNA who titrates dose to response and manages your airway. At-home telehealth programs mail lozenges without clinical monitoring. For treatment-resistant depression, the in-clinic IV route delivers more reliable response.

Every infusion is administered and monitored by Marla Peterson, CRNA — a board-certified nurse anesthetist with 20+ years of experience. She continuously monitors every infusion, titrating dose in real time and ensuring your comfort.
