Book a Free Phone ScreeningSpravato® (esketamine) is a nasal spray form of ketamine that is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal ideation. It is the first truly new class of antidepressant approved in decades.
Unlike IV ketamine, Spravato® is approved by the FDA specifically for depression — which means it is often covered by insurance for patients who meet the clinical criteria. Golden Afternoon is a certified Spravato® treatment center, and our team manages the REMS certification and prior authorization process with your insurer.
Spravato® is administered in-clinic under supervision. You self-administer the nasal spray, then remain in our care for a monitoring period afterward. Most patients do two sessions per week for the first month.

Spravato® is FDA-approved for two specific indications. If you meet these criteria, your insurance may cover treatment. Our care team helps you navigate the process.
Adults with major depressive disorder who have not responded adequately to at least two different antidepressants of adequate dose and duration in the current episode.
Adults with major depressive disorder who have active or recent suicidal ideation with intent or behavior. Spravato® is FDA-approved for rapid symptom reduction in this population.
Most major insurers cover Spravato® for qualifying patients. We manage the prior authorization process on your behalf and work to minimize out-of-pocket costs.

There are multiple Spravato® providers in LA. Here’s what makes Golden Afternoon different.
Our team manages the REMS certification, prior authorization, and insurance coordination so you can focus on getting better, not navigating paperwork.
The required 2-hour post-dose monitoring period is spent in a private room, in a zero-gravity chair, with curated music — not a waiting room.
Dr. Jenn designs every Spravato® protocol. Our care team — including experienced Nurse Practitioners — delivers each session to the same standard she sets.
If Spravato® isn’t right for you, or if you’d like to combine it with IV ketamine, we offer both under one roof with a single care team who knows your history.
