About SPRAVATO®

Mental health guidance one step at a time

SPRAVATO®, or Esketamine, therapy involves a series of treatments that taper down over the course of a few weeks to several months. A typical session with our care team involves the administration of Esketamine nasal spray followed by a monitoring period. During this period, our clinicians will keep track of your vital signs to ensure your safety. Initially, you will be treated by our care team once or twice per week. Each session requires a two-hour appointment, after which patients are prohibited to drive or work for the remainder of the day. This information and more can be found in this Starter Brochure.

Chief Medical Officer, Psychiatrist

Dr. Bergina Isbell

I spent decades in training on the brain and behavior in some of the most elite institutions in the US. As a Psychiatrist, I’ve helped patients achieve what they couldn’t on their own – recovery from addictions and rediscovery of joy instead of depression and anxiety. Then, I took a step away from the corporate career I had worked so hard to achieve.

I did this because I didn’t just want a career, I wanted a calling. I wanted to leave a legacy, including making time for the things that were most important, like my spirituality and my marriage, being available fully and present in the lives of my children, and helping others transform their lives by developing a mindset for growth and success.

This was the driving force behind Led Life Concierge Psychiatry, where we “listen without labeling” and offer alternative treatments where other options have failed. We are now offering SPRAVATO® and Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) to help others rewrite their success stories and find joy in the journey.
