From the moment you walk in to any one of our spaces, you’ll be enveloped in a deeply private, spa-like atmosphere. You deserve the utmost confidentiality and calm, and we endeavor to keep the experience as low-noise as possible. We ask that all clients refrain from talking on cell phones while at Marpa.
Marpa Minds therapy is covered by insurance. We only offer treatments that most insurances cover so that we can offer mental health services that are accessible to all.
Your complete session will take around 2 hours. After Spravato® is administered, your clinician will lead you through some gentle breathwork and then monitor you from outside. After an hour and a half, the effects of the esketamine will fade, and you’ll be guided to our private, comfy post-treatment lounge, where you can relax, unwind, journal, or have gentle conversations with support clinicians.
Most patients feel an immediate lift within 24 hours of taking Spravato®. Patients typically see improvements in their depression symptoms within 4 weeks of treatments.
To be an eligible candidate for Spravato®, you will need a depression diagnosis, and to have tried at least 2 antidepressants during your current course of depression.
You may not be a candidate for Spravato® if you have a history of aneurysms, heart or blood problems, or any hallucinatory disorders.
At Marpa Minds, we will always take a complete patient history before administering ketamine, so we’ll advise on whether you are compatible to ensure your physical safety!
Many patients who find Spravato successful opt to use it continuously following the initial treatment phase. For the first four weeks, patients visit twice a week to self-administer their prescribed dosage and remain under observation for two hours.
In the subsequent four weeks, most patients switch to a once-weekly administration of Spravato. After that, the treatment can continue as needed.
Treatment approaches vary among patients. Some prefer to continue taking Spravato once a week, while others prefer once every two weeks. Some only receive maintenance doses when they notice a resurgence of depression symptoms. The goal is for you to take Spravato as infrequently as possible while maintaining remission from depressive symptoms!

Spravato is the brand name for esketamine, a medication that is a derivative of ketamine. It is a nasal spray formulation of esketamine that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2019 for the treatment of treatment-resistant depression. Spravato is typically used in conjunction with an oral antidepressant for patients who have not responded adequately to other antidepressant treatments.
At Marpa Minds, we are proud to offer advanced nasal Spravato treatments, ketamine infusion treatment, in a calm clinical setting. Unlike traditional treatments, Spravato offers rapid relief from depression symptoms, often within hours. Our approach combines the benefits of ketamine with a spa-like clinical environment, ensuring that you receive compassionate care throughout your journey to mental wellness.
Both contain esketamine, a derivative of ketamine. However, Spravato is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression, administered as a nasal spray, while ketamine, used off-label for medical purposes, is commonly given intravenously. The nasal spray method makes Spravato more convenient, and it’s covered by insurance, unlike off-label ketamine.
Spravato is specifically designed for treatment-resistant depression, utilized when standard antidepressants prove ineffective. Traditional antidepressants like SSRIs or SNRIs enhance neurotransmitter levels, e.g., serotonin or norepinephrine. In contrast, Spravato targets brain NMDA receptors, regulating glutamate activity, a mood-regulating factor.
Unlike traditional medicine, Spravato has a really high success rate and is widely used as a treatment of depression. Studies show that Ketamine may have an extended impact on depression even though it’s in the body for a short period of time. It’s highly recommended by doctors for patients that haven’t had success with traditional medications
Sparavato is proven to be an effective treatment option for the following mental health conditions:
In addition to treating depression, Marpa Minds offers effective treatment options for chronic pain conditions and other mental health and pain disorders. Our holistic approach to ketamine therapy addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of chronic conditions, providing real relief from symptoms and improving your overall quality of life. Our compassionate team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring that you receive the care and attention you deserve.
Ketamine works by interacting with the brain in a unique way, offering a new approach to treating depression, bipolar, mood disorders, and other mental health disorders. Unlike traditional antidepressants, ketamine targets specific brain receptors, particularly the NMDA receptors, which play a crucial role in mood regulation and cognitive function. By modulating these receptors, ketamine can help disrupt negative thought patterns and promote the formation of new neural connections, enhancing brain plasticity, with minimal side effects.
At Marpa Minds, our experienced physicians integrate ketamine therapy with psychotherapy to maximize its therapeutic benefits. This combination allows patients to explore and process underlying emotional issues in a supportive environment, leading to more profound and lasting improvements in mental health. Our team is dedicated to providing personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective treatment tailored to their unique needs.
To determine your eligibility for treatment, we conduct a comprehensive screening process that includes a review of your medical history and current medications. Our goal is to ensure that you are a suitable candidate for ketamine therapy and to provide a personalized treatment plan that aligns with your specific needs. Whether you are seeking relief from depression or exploring new treatment options for chronic pain, our team is committed to helping you achieve lasting relief and improved mental health.
