Pioneer Counseling and Consulting

Pioneer Counseling and Consulting offers Spravato treatment in Washington, Pennsylvania for adults with depression that has not responded to standard antidepressants. Spravato is a nasal spray form of esketamine approved by the FDA and is given only in the office under supervision.

Sara Obringer, a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, handles the treatment. Patients rest during the dose, stay about two hours for monitoring, and need a ride home afterward. Side effects like dizziness or numbness usually fade within a few hours.

Spravato works best paired with talk therapy, and follow up visits can happen in the office or by video. This office keeps long weekday hours and is open Saturday mornings. It serves Washington and the surrounding area.
