Looking for Psychedelic Therapy in Brooklyn?
Here’s what’s actually available in New York right now, and how to get real support wherever you are in the process.
The short answer
Psychedelic therapy is still mostly not legal in New York, with one exception.
Ketamine is available now. Ketamine clinics across NYC offer it by prescription. Spravato (esketamine) is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression.
Psilocybin is close, but not here yet. The first psilocybin treatment is under FDA review, and approval could come as early as 2027. Until then, the legal route is a clinical trial. Research centers like NYU Langone and Mount Sinai run studies, and you can search ClinicalTrials.gov.
MDMA therapy is not approved. The FDA declined it in 2024.
Some other states have legal programs. Oregon and Colorado offer supervised psilocybin services. Bills have been introduced in New York but have not passed.
So many New Yorkers end up in one of three places. Some are on a waitlist. Some are in a ketamine clinic with little support before or after. Some go ahead and have experiences on their own. In every case, the preparation and the integration are what make the difference.
Where I come in
I’m Josh Jupiter, a psychedelic integration coach and harm reduction educator based in NYC. I help you:
Prepare. Get clear on your intentions, screen for health and medication risks, and know what to expect, so you go in grounded.
Integrate. Make sense of what came up and turn it into real change in your relationships, work and daily life.
I work with people going through ketamine treatment, people in clinical trials, people traveling to legal programs, and people processing past experiences, including hard ones.
Do you need therapy or coaching?
See a licensed clinician if you’re in crisis, managing a diagnosed condition, or need medication changes. I’m glad to work alongside your therapist or clinic.
Coaching is a fit if you’re basically stable and want to prepare well, make sense of an experience, or stop leaving insights on the table.
Not sure which you need? That’s exactly what the discovery call is for.

Questions
Are you a therapist?
No. I’m a coach and educator. I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions. I’ll tell you honestly if what you need is a clinician.
Do you provide psychedelics?
No. I never provide, sell or source substances.
Can you work alongside my ketamine clinic or therapist?
Yes. Many clients use coaching to get more out of treatment they’re already receiving.
Do you only work in Brooklyn?
I see clients in person across the NY area and online everywhere else.
Brooklyn Balance offers coaching and education, not medical or mental health treatment. Nothing on this page is medical advice.
