HOW IT WORKS
Ketamine works differently from an SSRI. Rather than gradually adjusting monoamine levels, it acts on the glutamate system and is associated with a rapid increase in synaptogenesis and neuroplasticity — the brain’s capacity to form and reorganize connections. The research on this is still developing, but the clinical pattern is consistent enough that most clinicians working in this space plan around it.
For a period of roughly 24 to 72 hours after a session — and in many patients for a week or more — clients frequently describe a shift you’ll recognize immediately:
That state is an opportunity, not an outcome. Ketamine can create the conditions for change. It doesn’t do the changing.
That’s your work. We can produce a window. You’re the one who can turn it into something durable.
HOW THE COLLABORATION WORKS
No ambiguity about who owns what. That’s what makes this work.
SCREENING
We’d rather tell you no early than take a client we shouldn’t.
TIMELINE
Two-minute form or clinician phone line. Send us what you’d tell a colleague—diagnosis, what’s been tried, and what you’re hoping ketamine will accomplish.
Physician-led evaluation including medical history, blood pressure and cardiac screening, medication interactions, psychiatric risk, and insurance verification if Spravato® is being considered.
You receive a candidacy summary explaining whether we’re proceeding, which treatment route we’re recommending, why, and the proposed schedule. If we’re declining treatment, we’ll tell you why and where we’d refer instead.
Whenever the clinical protocol allows, we schedule around your therapy calendar so your client returns to your office during the plasticity window. You’ll receive brief updates after initiation and midway through treatment.
You’ll receive a completion summary with response data. Maintenance decisions are made jointly, and if a client destabilizes, we’ll contact you directly.
HOW DO WE WORK TOGETHER?
You stay in your office. We treat, we report, and your client comes back to you. Nothing about your practice changes.
Most common
Some therapists want to be in the room. You’re welcome to attend—in person or by telehealth—at no cost and with no credentialing requirement. We handle all medical monitoring. You do what you do.
A structured protocol: preparation sessions with you, dosing with us, and integration with you on a defined schedule. Ideal for therapists who want to build ketamine-assisted psychotherapy into their practice without buying a clinic.
For therapists already trained in ketamine-assisted psychotherapy who need medical oversight, monitoring, and a licensed clinical setting. Talk with us about current availability.
FREE RESOURCES
Free, no strings. If they’re useful, use them.
Prompts and structure for the first session after a dose. What to ask. What not to push.
A one-page script for the conversation, including how to raise it without it landing as I’m giving up on you.
What’s covered, what documentation is needed, what “two failed trials” actually means to a payer.
WHO’S TREATING YOUR CLIENT
Founder & Medical Director Board-certified physician and founder of Seaside Ketamine.
Dr. Gillin oversees medical screening, dosing, and safety protocols for every patient in the clinic and is REMS-certified for Spravato administration. He built Seaside Ketamine around a single conviction: that ketamine is a tool that belongs inside good psychotherapy, not a replacement for it — which is why every referring therapist gets a direct line to him.
**Every session is monitored by licensed clinical staff. Continuous vital-sign monitoring. ACLS-trained personnel and emergency medications on site. Physician available for every treatment.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
No, and we’d be a bad partner if you did. We don’t provide psychotherapy and we don’t manage ongoing care. Our model depends on returning clients to their therapist; it’s the only way the treatment holds.
Yes. In person or by telehealth, at no cost, with no credentialing required.
We call you the same day. Clients are monitored throughout and we screen at every session. If something changes, you’re the first call, not the last.
No. We coordinate with the prescriber; we don’t replace them. If a change is clinically indicated, we recommend it to their prescriber and copy you.
Spravato is typically covered by commercial insurance, Medicare Part B, and Tricare. IV ketamine is self-pay; we’ll give your client exact pricing before they commit to anything. Cost is discussed on the consult call, not at the door.
Consult within 48–72 hours of referral in most cases. Faster if there’s acuity — tell us and we’ll move.
Many clients report a shift after the first or second session. Response typically becomes clear across the first two weeks. We’ll send you response data rather than making you guess.
Yes, with supervisor awareness.
Call us. We’re comfortable telling a client no, and we’d rather do that than have you carry it alone.
None.
15 minutes, clinician to clinician. Bring a case or bring questions. No sales call, no pitch.
