Nushama Psychedelic Wellness Center

About

Nushama is a network of medically supervised psychedelic wellness centers headquartered at 515 Madison Avenue in Midtown Manhattan, with additional locations in Rockland County, New York and Miami, Florida. Founded by Jay Godfrey, a former fashion executive whose personal experience with psychedelic therapy revealed the limitations of conventional talk therapy, Nushama employs a clinical model that combines intravenous, intramuscular, and oral ketamine administration with dedicated integration support. Each session is attended by a trained integrator who provides breathwork techniques, grounding, and relational presence throughout the psychedelic experience, distinguishing the center from infusion-only ketamine mills. The medical team includes specialists in mood disorders, eating disorders, alcohol use disorders, and leading researchers in ketamine and psychedelic therapies. Nushama's treatment protocol addresses depression, anxiety, chronic pain, addiction, and trauma-induced mood disorders through a holistic framework that emphasizes sustained relief through psychological processing rather than pharmacological intervention alone. The center was notably the first in New York to use ketamine therapeutically for the treatment of alcoholism, reflecting its clinical ambition to extend psychedelic medicine beyond depression into broader applications.

Depth Orientation

Nushama pairs each ketamine session with a trained integrator who provides breathwork guidance, somatic support, and relational presence throughout the psychedelic experience, moving beyond a purely medical infusion model. The center's treatment philosophy emphasizes that psychedelic experience without psychological processing is incomplete, positioning integration as the core therapeutic mechanism. Their approach addresses root causes of mood disorders and addiction rather than symptom suppression alone.
