What to Expect from Your First Spravato Session
Starting a new treatment can feel overwhelming - especially when it comes to your mental health. At Creative Wellness TMS, we want you to feel confident and prepared before beginning Spravato (esketamine) nasal spray treatment. Here’s what you can expect during your first session.
Before Your Appointment
- Consultation & Evaluation: You’ll meet with a provider to confirm that Spravato is right for you, review your medical history, and go over what the treatment involves.
- Insurance & Cost: Many patients are eligible for insurance coverage. For those without coverage, the cost is $250 per visit.
During the Session
- Administration: You’ll self-administer Spravato nasal spray under the direct supervision of our trained medical team.
- Observation Period: After dosing, you’ll remain in a comfortable treatment space for about 2 hours while our team monitors your safety and well-being.
- Possible Sensations: Some patients experience mild dizziness, disorientation, or drowsiness. These effects usually resolve within the observation period.
After the Session
- Transportation: You will need someone to drive you home - you should not operate a vehicle the same day as treatment.
- Follow-Up Care: Your provider will check in on your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Most patients attend twice-weekly sessions at the start, gradually reducing frequency as improvement continues.

A Guide for Parents Who Want to Help Their Child Feel Safe, Supported, and Understood
Anxiety, trauma, and anger are deeply human experiences - but when they begin to interfere with daily life, relationships, or your sense of control, it may be time to seek support. At Creative Wellness TMS , we work with individuals facing emotional overwhelm, mood instability, and trauma-related symptoms, helping them regain stability and find relief through evidence-based treatments and compassionate care. Whether you’re navigating long-standing challenges or a recent shift in your mental health, understanding the signs and knowing when to reach out is the first step toward healing.
If you’ve been researching TMS therapy for depression , anxiety, or OCD, one of the first questions that probably comes to mind is: “Will my insurance cover it?” At Creative Wellness TMS , we understand that cost can be one of the biggest barriers to seeking care. That’s why we believe in being open and transparent about coverage, pricing, and what to expect - so you can focus on your health, not paperwork.
Restoring Hope for Those Who’ve Served
If you’ve been exploring options for treating depression or anxiety, you may have come across both talk therapy and TMS therapy. While they’re powerful on their own, research shows that the combination of the two can lead to the most sustainable, long-term improvement in mental health. At Creative Wellness TMS, we believe in a blended approach - where brain-based treatments and emotional support work hand-in-hand.
Understanding OCD and Its Challenges
Anxiety disorders are among the most common mental health conditions, affecting millions of people in the United States each year. While traditional treatments like therapy and medication can be effective, they don’t always work for everyone. That’s where Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) comes in - an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment originally developed for depression that is now being studied and used to help those with anxiety.
Introduction Finding the right depression treatment can feel overwhelming. At Creative Wellness TMS , we offer a range of evidence-based options - including TMS therapy, Spravato® (esketamine nasal spray), psychotherapy, and medication management. Below, we break down how these treatments compare so you can make an informed decision.
If you’ve been struggling with depression that hasn’t improved with traditional treatments, Spravato® (esketamine) nasal therapy may be an option worth exploring. FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression, Spravato offers a new pathway to relief. But how do you choose the right provider in Washington? Not all clinics are the same, and finding the right fit can make a big difference in your experience and outcomes.
