At a Glance : Neuromodulation protocols actively reset the brain’s electrical activity, providing a biological foundation for lasting mental health. By combining this precise electrical stimulation with ketamine’s neuroplasticity-boosting effects, we accelerate your recovery and permanently rewire the neural pathways driving your depression.
If you’re searching for ketamine therapy near Encinitas, Leucadia, or the broader North County San Diego area, Seaside Ketamine is your local option — and not just geographically.
We’re located in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Right in the heart of the coastal North County community. Our clinic is minutes from Encinitas. We serves patients from throughout North County — Leucadia, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar, San Marcos, Escondido, Rancho Santa Fe, and beyond.
Ketamine therapy is not a one-visit intervention. A standard initial treatment series involves six infusions over two to three weeks. Meaning your ability to realistically access your clinic on a twice-weekly basis has a significant practical impact on completion rates and outcomes.
Patients who choose a clinic far from home often find that long drives after infusion sessions. When they’re in a soft, introspective state — are stressful and counterproductive. The post-infusion period is one of the most therapeutically valuable windows, and how you use it matters.
Having a clinic you can reach from Encinitas in under 10 minutes. Where you can return home to rest, integrate, and reflect — is a meaningful advantage.
We evaluate and treat North County San Diego patients for a wide range of conditions, including:
Many ketamine clinics in the San Diego area operate as high-volume infusion centers. Patients are scheduled in rapid succession, given IV ketamin. They are managed with minimal clinical depth. This is not the Seaside model.
At Seaside Ketamine, every patient is evaluated and managed by Dr. Scott Gillin. Dr. Scott Gillin is a board-certified physician with IFM training, A4M peptide certification, and deep clinical experience across neuroscience, functional medicine, and metabolic health. We integrate neuromodulation, the Gupta Program, Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy, and integration support into our protocols — because the infusion alone is not the treatment.
We also offer esketamine (Spravato). The FDA-approved intranasal ketamine formulation — for patients with insurance coverage for treatment-resistant depression, making access more financially viable for appropriate candidates.
Cardiff, Encinitas, and the surrounding North County communities share a particular culture — health-conscious, wellness-oriented, often high-achieving, and increasingly open to integrative and emerging medical approaches. We see patients from the technology sector, healthcare, education, real estate, and the arts. Also active-duty military families from Camp Pendleton and retirees, parents, athletes, and professionals.
The conditions we treat don’t discriminate by profession or zip code. The level of care we offer reflects our belief that every North County patient deserves access to the most effective psychiatric and neurological interventions available, close to home.
If you’re in Encinitas, Leucadia, Cardiff, or anywhere in North County San Diego and have been considering ketamine therapy, the first step is a free 15-minute consultation. No pressure, no commitment — just an honest conversation about your situation and whether we can help.

Neuromodulation refers to techniques that directly alter nerve activity through targeted electrical or magnetic stimulation. We combine it with ketamine because neuromodulation “tunes” your brain’s electrical patterns, while ketamine provides the chemical environment necessary to lock in those healthy, new neural connections.
Yes. By using neuromodulation to stabilize your brain’s irregular electrical patterns alongside ketamine’s ability to promote synaptic growth, we create a synergistic effect. This dual-action approach often achieves deeper, more durable remission than using either treatment method in isolation.
Yes, these protocols are non-invasive, FDA-cleared for various conditions, and widely recognized for their excellent safety profiles. We customize the stimulation parameters specifically to your brain’s unique electrical signature, ensuring the most comfortable and effective experience possible during your treatment sessions.
