MENTAL HEALTH SPRAVATO TREATMENTS IN BROOKSHIRE, TEXAS
QUCIL HEALTH™ – SPRAVATO® TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION
Spravato® (Esketamine) Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression and Major Depressive Disorder
For individuals living with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) or major depressive disorder (MDD) with suicidal thoughts or behaviors, the path to relief can be long and frustrating. When traditional antidepressant medications don't work—or when their side effects make them hard to continue—it's vital to consider proven, advanced alternatives.
At QuCiL Health™ in Brookshire, Texas, we offer Spravato® (esketamine). This groundbreaking treatment is now approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as a standalone (monotherapy) option for adults with TRD or MDD with acute suicidal ideation or behavior.
Unlike many commonly prescribed antidepressants, such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), which can cause side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, emotional numbness, and withdrawal symptoms, Spravato offers a different approach. Spravato has not been shown to cause erectile dysfunction, which is a frequent concern with many antidepressants and a significant reason patients stop taking them.
By addressing these side effects, Spravato helps bridge the gap for individuals who are hesitant or unable to continue with traditional medications. It is administered in a clinical setting under supervision, offering a safe and structured environment where patients may experience relief more quickly than with oral medications alone.
Spravato®: A Breakthrough and Transformative Approach to Severe Depression Treatment
Spravato® (esketamine) works differently than traditional antidepressants by targeting N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in the brain, offering fast-acting relief through a new, FDA-approved mechanism. It's administered in a calm, supervised setting where patients are monitored for comfort and safety throughout each session.
Led by Shirley Amanfo, FNP-C, our care is more than just medication. As part of our integrated care model, every Spravato treatment includes behavioral assessments, wellness planning, and ongoing progress monitoring.
We proudly serve Brookshire, Katy, San Felipe, Sealy, Fulshear, and nearby communities, offering compassionate, evidence-based support tailored to each person's mental health journey.
SERVICES WE OFFER UNDER MENTAL HEALTH SPRAVATO TREATMENT:
Comprehensive Evaluation
Before starting Spravato® therapy, we conduct a thorough evaluation to ensure it's the right fit. This includes a full review of your mental health history, current symptoms, and previous treatment outcomes. Qualified professionals perform assessments and focus on both psychological and medical readiness for treatment.
Collaborative Treatment Approach
Spravato® treatment at QuCiL Health™ is delivered in collaboration with your existing mental health providers. If you're self-referred, we coordinate care as needed and can connect you with trusted therapists for cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) or other support. Our goal is to ensure your treatment is part of a well-rounded care plan.
Crisis Support When Needed
While uncommon, emotional crises can occur during treatment. We provide timely support to address acute distress, ensuring you have access to immediate interventions when necessary. Your safety and well-being remain our top priorities throughout the course of your care.
Personalized Monitoring & Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring is essential to successful outcomes. We tailor follow-up visits to your needs—whether in person or via secure telemedicine for added convenience. These sessions focus on tracking progress, managing side effects, and adjusting treatment as needed.
Lifestyle & Wellness Support
We believe in treating the whole person. To support your mental health, we offer guidance on nutrition, sleep, stress management, and daily routines that can enhance the effectiveness of Spravato therapy. Small lifestyle changes can make a big impact on your recovery.
SPRAVATO® Q & A
Our Clinical Approach to Spravato Treatment
At QuCiL Health™, we follow a patient-centered approach to Spravato treatment, ensuring each individual receives personalized care tailored to their specific needs and mental health goals.
Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine eligibility, followed by a detailed treatment plan that includes monitoring, follow-up care, and integration with other therapeutic approaches as needed.
Who Benefits from Spravato Treatment
Spravato is specifically designed for adults with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) who haven't responded adequately to at least two different antidepressant treatments, or those with major depressive disorder (MDD) experiencing suicidal ideation or behavior.
It may also benefit individuals who cannot tolerate the side effects of traditional antidepressants or need faster relief than oral medications can provide.
What to Expect During Spravato Therapy
Each Spravato session lasts about 2 hours, including preparation, administration, and recovery time. Patients self-administer the nasal spray under medical supervision in our comfortable treatment room.
During treatment, patients may experience mild dissociation or dizziness, which is carefully monitored by our clinical staff. Most patients begin with twice-weekly sessions for the first month, then transition to less frequent maintenance dosing as symptoms improve.

MONITORING, SAFETY, AND MEDICAL OVERSIGHT
Spravato is classified as a controlled substance due to its dissociative properties, which is why all treatments are supervised in compliance with the FDA Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) guidelines.
At our Brookshire clinic, safety is paramount. Each patient is monitored by licensed medical personnel who track vital signs, mental status, and response to treatment during each session. If side effects occur, such as dizziness, nausea, or brief dissociation, appropriate care and monitoring are immediately administered.
Our clinic maintains all necessary certifications to provide Spravato safely and ensures ongoing staff training in mental health care and medication management.
