Now Offering FDA-Approved Spravato Therapy
We are proud to offer Spravato® (esketamine) nasal spray treatment, an innovative FDA-approved option for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts. Administered under medical supervision, Spravato provides fast-acting relief for individuals who haven't responded to traditional antidepressants.
Spravato may be appropriate for:
Adults with treatment-resistant depression (after trying 2+ antidepressants)
Adults with major depressive disorder and acute suicidal ideation or behavior
Spravato contains esketamine, a form of ketamine, which works differently than standard antidepressants. It targets the brain's glutamate system, helping to restore synaptic connections and improve mood more rapidly — often within hours to days.
Treatment is in-office only. You self-administer the nasal spray under our supervision in a safe, comfortable setting. Each session includes:
Pre-treatment check-in
Spravato nasal spray administration
2-hour observation period (due to possible sedation and dissociation)
Post-treatment monitoring and discharge
