Hope is closer than you think. Breathe. You don't have to carry this alone anymore.
For some, the road here has wound through therapy after therapy, medication after medication, still searching for relief that never quite arrived. Spravato® (esketamine) is a different kind of light along that path: an FDA-approved nasal spray treatment for adults with treatment-resistant depression, and for adults with major depressive disorder experiencing acute suicidal thoughts or behaviors. It doesn't erase what you've been through. It offers another way forward.
Three Beacons
Clinically Proven
Shown to provide rapid relief of depressive symptoms in some patients, so you can begin to feel like yourself again, sooner.
Designed Differently
Unlike traditional antidepressants, Spravato works along a different path in the brain, offering hope when other treatments haven't helped.
Supported Every Step
You'll receive treatment in our comfortable, private clinic, with a caring team beside you throughout the journey.
How It Works
Administered as a nasal spray under medical supervision, Spravato works differently from oral antidepressants, targeting the NMDA receptor in the brain to help rapidly reduce symptoms of depression, sometimes within hours or days.

Is This Path Yours?
At ITC, we conduct a comprehensive psychiatric assessment and coordinate with your current providers to determine if Spravato is the right path forward.
You've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder with acute suicidal ideation
You're experiencing persistent depressive symptoms despite treatment
You've tried two or more antidepressants without success
Your care doesn’t end when your treatment session does. Integration therapy offers a supportive space to talk with a therapist about thoughts, emotions, or experiences that arise during or after Spravato treatment and explore what they mean for you.
At Innovative Treatment Centers, we recommend integration therapy alongside treatment to help you process your experience, build coping skills, and connect what you’re learning with everyday life. You don’t need to have a particular experience or know exactly what to say. Your therapist will meet you where you are.
What to Expect
Your journey starts with a conversation. It's a full evaluation with our team to understand your history and whether Spravato is the right next step. Treatment sessions take place in our comfortable, private clinic, where you'll self-administer the nasal spray under the supervision of our care team, followed by a monitoring period before you head home. You're never walking through this alone.
