At a Glance : When your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, standard anxiety treatments frequently fail. We combine medical-grade ketamine therapy, stellate ganglion blocks, and vagus nerve stimulation to rapidly calm severe anxiety, restore neuroplasticity, and permanently reset your biological stress response.
Ketamine patients are exploring a promising alternative for individuals who have not experienced relief with traditional medications.
Anxiety disorders often involve overactive fear circuits and repetitive negative thinking. While SSRIs or benzodiazepines may reduce symptoms, they do not always address the underlying neural rigidity that sustains anxiety.
Ketamine works differently.
Seaside Ketamine, located in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, provides physician-supervised ketamine therapy for patients throughout San Diego.
Ketamine influences glutamate pathways, promoting neuroplasticity and interrupting rigid fear responses. As a result, many patients report:
Reduced panic symptoms
Less rumination
Improved sleep
Increased emotional flexibility
Greater overall calm
Relief often occurs more quickly than with traditional medications.
You may consider ketamine therapy if:
You have tried multiple anxiety medications
Side effects limit your options
Anxiety interferes with work or relationships
You feel stuck in chronic worry
At Seaside Ketamine, every patient undergoes a thorough medical evaluation to ensure ketamine is safe and appropriate.
Ketamine for anxiety at Seaside Ketamine is part of a broader treatment model. The clinic also offers:
Metabolic psychiatry lab assessments
Nervous system support strategies
Optional psychotherapy integration
This comprehensive approach helps maintain improvements long after treatment.

Ketamine directly modulates the brain’s glutamate system and rapidly promotes neuroplasticity. By calming overactive neural circuits, ketamine breaks rigid, trauma-encoded patterns to provide fast relief from severe anxiety, especially for patients who have not responded to daily SSRI medications
An SGB is an ultrasound-guided injection that targets a nerve cluster in your neck to temporarily block the sympathetic nervous system. This immediately stops your “fight-or-flight” overdrive, rapidly reducing hyperarousal, panic symptoms, and persistent physical anxiety.
While ketamine restores brain flexibility, we use transcutaneous vagal nerve stimulation (tVNS) to directly activate your parasympathetic nervous system. This non-invasive therapy actively lowers your heart rate, reduces cortisol levels, and builds long-term physical resilience against future stress.
