When you send a patient to NWKC, here is what we commit to, every time.

Rapid Access

Built for speed without cutting corners. Typical start within 5 business days, next-day when available.

Safety + Monitoring

Structured screening, vitals monitoring throughout every infusion, and protocol-driven follow-up.

Outcomes Tracking

PHQ-9, GAD-7, and NSESSS at every infusion. Visual progress reports compiled at the end of treatment.

Care Coordination

We coordinate with your plan of care. Pre-set clinician consult blocks for case discussion when needed.

Patient Experience

Warm, private rooms. Respectful, trauma-informed staff. Patients leave feeling cared for, not processed.

Clear Communication

You know what is happening with your patient. With ROI on file, intake notes and reports are shared with you.

Built for three kinds of partner practice.

Whether you treat patients yourself or coordinate care across a team, the relationship is designed around what makes your work easier.

Therapists

When therapy alone isn’t enough right now.

Partnering with us gives you a trusted, fast-access resource for clients who need more support than therapy alone can provide. You get a clear referral pathway, coordinated care, and, with client consent, helpful updates so you are not left guessing. Another tool in your tool belt when symptoms are heavy or progress has stalled, while staying anchored to the therapy work.

  • Stalled progress, heavier symptom load
  • Integration support templates available
  • KAP partnerships welcome
  • Co-branded blog post option
PCPs

A reliable next step beyond first-line care.

Partnering with us gives you a dependable escalation option for patients struggling despite traditional approaches. Instead of long wait lists or bouncing between referrals, you can connect them with a team built for rapid access, structured monitoring, and evidence-based interventional care, without you having to carry the whole burden alone.

  • Treatment-resistant depression & anxiety
  • PHQ-9 / GAD-7 outcomes shared back
  • Lunch & learns for your team
  • Direct clinician consult line
Group Practices / Clinics

A stronger continuum of care.

Partnering with us helps your practice offer a stronger continuum. You can give patients a direct resource for interventional treatment when symptoms are severe or progress is limited, while keeping the relationship and plan of care anchored in your clinic. Reduces referral friction, gives your team another option, and improves patient support.

    Persistent functional impairment despite SSRIs, SNRIs, and therapy.

  • Chronic neuropathic pain
    CRPS, fibromyalgia, post-surgical, central sensitization syndromes.
  • Suicidal ideation, stabilized
    Active psychiatric care in place, ketamine as a rapid-relief adjunct.
  • Migraines that resist standard prophylaxis

Not the right fit

Referring provider FAQ.

You can submit a referral through our online Provider Referral Form, or simply direct your patient to call (206) 309-2299. Whichever works best for you and your patient. The form takes about two minutes, primary diagnosis and current medications are the most helpful fields.
Primary diagnosis, current medications, and any prior treatment history, especially failed medication trials for treatment-resistant cases. A brief note on what you have tried and what you would like us to address is always appreciated but not required.
We structure our staffing model specifically for fast access. Most patients can begin treatment within five business days, and our goal is to start sooner whenever possible, sometimes next-day when scheduling permits.
Always. Call (206) 309-2299 and ask to speak with a Patient Care Coordinator. Let them know you are a referring provider considering a referral and would like a call with one of our medical providers. Clinician-to-clinician consults are a core part of our community partnership.
Yes. Patients complete PHQ-9, GAD-7, and NSESSS scales at every infusion. At the end of treatment, we compile a progress report, our providers review it with the patient, and with a signed ROI on file, we share that report with you.
IV ketamine at NWKC is cash-pay. Pathways start at $2,475 for a gradual series or $2,700 for a six-session series. We provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement and offer CareCredit and Denefits financing.
Yes. Treatment-resistant depression, PTSD, severe anxiety, and complex pain are where we often add the most value. We exclude active untreated psychosis, uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, pregnancy, and acute crisis without existing supports.
Almost always, yes. Most patients continue their existing psychiatric medications through ketamine treatment. Our medical team reviews everything during the intake consultation and coordinates with the prescribing provider when adjustments are warranted.

Two paths in. Pick whichever is easier.
