Are All SPRAVATO® Programs the Same?

For individuals living with treatment-resistant depression, finding relief can feel impossible, especially after years of trying other therapies. Esketamine therapy is a breakthrough treatment that supports those who need a new option –  but not every treatment program is the same.

 At LiveWell Counseling, our SPRAVATO (esketamine) program combines advanced clinical care, a deeply supportive environment, and innovative treatment delivered with a thoughtful, comprehensive approach.

A Breakthrough Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression

Esketamine is an FDA-approved nasal spray developed for adults who have not experienced significant improvement with standard antidepressants. Unlike traditional medications that can take weeks or months to show effects, esketamine may provide noticeable symptom relief in a much shorter time period. Many patients report meaningful improvements early in treatment, sometimes within the first few sessions.

Our program offers access to this cutting-edge therapy for individuals who may feel they have exhausted other options, providing renewed hope and a path forward.

Expert Care at Every Step

Safety and personalized care are paramount to our program. At LiveWell, your esketamine treatment is administered under medical supervision to ensure you are safe and comfortable during the treatment, as well as educated and fully prepared before you begin your first session.

All of your questions will be answered in detail before treatment, including what to expect, potential side effects, and safety protocols. During your session, the nurse or provider will be present to monitor your vital signs, manage any side effects, and provide support and reassurance. This hands-on approach ensures both your physical safety and emotional comfort so that you can focus fully on your recovery.

A Soothing Environment

Our calming esketamine lounge was intentionally designed to feel soothing, welcoming, and supportive rather than clinical. Comfortable chairs, soft lighting, gentle music, and lavender aromatherapy help reduce anxiety and promote relaxation during sessions.

Our patients often describe the atmosphere as peaceful and grounding, which can ease apprehension, especially for those new to this type of therapy, and encourage consistency throughout the course of treatment.

Built-In Support and Accessibility

Beyond the treatment, we also provide the proper support to ensure you can access and effectively continue care. Because you cannot drive yourself home after treatment, we offer transportation within a designated radius to ensure you can travel safely to and from appointments.

Our highly knowledgeable providers are also always available to answer questions from you and your family, helping everyone feel informed, prepared, and confident in the care plan. This thorough care coordination and support reflect our commitment to whole-personal healing – not just treating the symptoms.

Part of Our Comprehensive Care Continuum

While esketamine can be a powerful tool, it is most effective when integrated into a comprehensive mental health care plan. At LiveWell, we also offer medication management, one-on-one counseling, and group and family therapy, provided by psychiatrists and therapists with a wide range of expertise.

Plus, LiveWell is part of Christian Health’s comprehensive care continuum, which also includes Gracepoint Partial-Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Program, and Ramapo Ridge Behavioral Health, our inpatient hospital. No matter your needs on your mental health journey, we can support you every step of the way.
