Daydream MD - Ketamine Therapy San Diego — Ketamine Clinic in San Diego, CA

From the moment I called to inquire about intake, to pre-infusion, and post-care, my experience with DayDream MD has been nothing short of exceptional. When I connected with Lisa McJunkin, I immediately felt heard and seen for the first time. She deeply understands the intricacies of trauma and holding space with compassion while providing you with tangible methods to calm and reset the nervous system. She is a no-BS yet extremely gentle therapist who makes you leave each appointment feeling capable of facing the challenges you came in with. I’ve also had the pleasure of attending her women's retreat, which skillfully integrates curated somatic and mind-body exercise sessions that help you discover yourself on a deeper level, remind you of the power of community, and create space to connect with strong, resilient individuals. RNs Erika and Sarah are extremely knowledgeable with the infusions and have guided me through many sessions with ease. Dr. Azam’s expertise in both emergency medicine and trauma brings an additional layer of reassurance and trust to the entire experience. These services should not be mistaken for recreational use, but are thoughtfully designed for individuals seeking alternative approaches to traditional mental health treatment. The new space is beautiful and offers a serene, restorative environment. I’m deeply grateful for DayDream MD and will continue to recommend them to anyone curious about ketamine therapy or searching for therapists who genuinely know what they’re doing. I wish DayDream continued success for all the great work they are doing.

The website said they take my insurance and offered Spravato but they don't and the website said they have an office in Escondido but do not.

I'm the Founder and Clinical Director of Pain Trauma Institute. My patients suffer from trauma and chronic pain. I am very impressed with Daydream MD, and refer my patients there.They don't just sit with you when you get infusion, they hold the space with you and place great importance on trauma-informed care, both during and between treatments. I'm also a patient and have had great success working with them.

10 out of 10 highly recommend 🤩. Team is amazing always makes you feel comfortable and safe.

Daydream is an exceptional clinic, and I highly recommend them, especially for those whose health issues don’t fit standard diagnoses or who haven’t found typical treatments effective. Their integrated services—covering functional medicine, mental health care, and various modalities of ketamine treatment—have significantly improved my wellness. While their integrated holistic approach is truly unique in today's disparate medical systems, – it is also the staff's dedication and supportive approach that make this clinic stand out, as they genuinely care about and prioritize patient well-being. All the staff are skilled and compassionate, and I am particularly grateful for Dr. Azam’s vast expertise and comprehensive trauma informed approach as well as for Sam (PA), who is well versed in a wide range of mental health therapeutics and simply exudes warmth. Their partnership and encouragement have made a difference in my life and many others.

I attended the Trauma & Psychedelics Virtual Training for Providers: Somatic Preparation & Integration with Lisa and Katie, and found it to be incredibly insightful and well-facilitated. The training offered tools grounded in trauma-informed, somatic, and holistic approaches that will enable me to be a more aware clinician. It was thoughtfully structured, professionally led, and deeply aligned with values of compassion and integrative care. I’m grateful for the opportunity and highly recommend it to any provider looking to expand their understanding of psychedelic preparation and integration.

Attended the Trauma and Psychedelics Training with the team and it was really well done. Very organized, thoughtful, relevant and enormously helpful and insightful. I can't say enough great things about the team and the organization and the work they do. Thank you for hosting such a well-rounded and thorough training. I look forward to attending other trainings and continual learning from you and your team.

I love DayDream MD. The staff are knowledgeable and caring, the location in scrips ranch is so welcoming and comfortable. I love the group ketamine options also, and paired with a sound bath, it’s such a lovely healing experience.

I have had 2 appointments with Dr. Azam And it has been super helpful. The way that he practices functional medicine has been so much more helpful than my usual experiences with doctors and traditional medicine. He has spent a lot of time to understand what I’ve been experiencing and to explain to me what might be going on medically. He went into such depth in regards to my blood work and was able to come up with answers and ways to treat symptoms. I’ve been experiencing. I’m feeling much more hopeful, moving forward. Dr. Azam has been amazing. I highly recommend Daydream.

Lisa M. Has been a fantastic coach helping me navigate some of life’s most challenging moments. What I love about her is she is very integrative in her approach. She has listened, offered her valuable insight along, suggested outside resources ( books ) that have been very beneficial and valuable for helping me grow and shift my mindset and deal with life challenges. Most recently she has helped me create actionable items that have been beneficial to help me find solutions and manage a difficult situation. Much Gratitude for the Daydream Team!
