HealthMates Wellness Center

HealthMates Wellness Center in Kettering, Ohio offers Spravato for adults with treatment-resistant depression. This FDA-approved esketamine therapy works through the brain's glutamate system and can reduce depressive symptoms within hours, offering an option for patients who have not responded to traditional antidepressants.

Treatment is administered in private rooms with a spa-like atmosphere. Every session includes a pre-treatment health assessment, blood pressure monitoring before, during, and after, continuous supervision, and a two-hour observation period. Dosing begins with two sessions per week for the first month, then tapers based on response.

Led by Steven Mates, PMHNP-BC, who brings more than 35 years of mental health experience and specialized Spravato training, the practice offers evening and weekend hours. Staff handle insurance authorization and coordinate medication through specialty pharmacy partners.
