HealingMaps Take: The Cherry Creek location is Denver Wellness Associates’ central Denver office, offering their full suite of psychiatric services including both Spravato and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. With three locations across the metro area, DWA makes it easy for patients to find a convenient office while maintaining consistent quality of care and their proven 12-session treatment protocol.
Market Position: Denver Wellness Associates Denver is a Spravato-certified clinic in the Denver metro. Spravato (esketamine) is the FDA-approved ketamine treatment that most commercial insurance plans cover after prior authorization — unlike cash-pay IV ketamine.

First treatment session — supervised Spravato (intranasal esketamine) in a private treatment room, lasting approximately 90 minutes (40-minute session + 60 minutes monitoring).

Recovery and follow-up — observation period after dosing, mood check-in with the clinical team, and scheduling your next session. Arrange for a ride home; do not drive for 24 hours after your Spravato session.

Patient Questions about Denver Wellness Associates Denver
This 5-question summary is matched to the protocols and conditions Denver Wellness Associates Denver treats. Editorial responses are HealingMaps-authored, grounded in our 2026 Ketamine Clinic Intelligence Report.
What ketamine protocols does Denver Wellness Associates Denver offer?
Denver Wellness Associates Denver offers Spravato and KAP — a 2-protocol practice. Patients can switch between or combine modalities without changing providers. Confirm specific dosing schedules and which protocols are recommended for your condition during your consult.
Does Denver Wellness Associates Denver offer Spravato (esketamine)?
Yes — Denver Wellness Associates Denver offers Spravato, which means they’re FDA REMS-certified and maintain the required two-hour in-office monitoring window after each dose. Spravato is the primary insurance-covered ketamine option for treatment-resistant depression. Worth confirming the prior-authorization timeline before booking your first session.
Does Denver Wellness Associates Denver offer ketamine-assisted psychotherapy (KAP)?
Yes — Denver Wellness Associates Denver offers KAP, which combines ketamine dosing with structured psychotherapy during the dissociative window. KAP sessions are longer than standalone infusions and priced accordingly. A reasonable consult question: whether KAP is delivered by a single integrated provider, or by a separate therapist working with the prescribing clinician.
Is Denver Wellness Associates Denver suited for treatment-resistant depression?
Denver Wellness Associates Denver treats depression via Spravato (FDA-approved for TRD), and KAP for trauma-anchored depression. The Spravato pathway is the most likely to obtain commercial insurance coverage. TRD is typically defined as two or more prior antidepressant trials without sufficient response — patients meeting that bar are best candidates here.
Can Denver Wellness Associates Denver help with anxiety disorders?
Yes — Denver Wellness Associates Denver treats anxiety, including generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. The evidence base for ketamine in anxiety is less robust than for depression, but it can be a meaningful option for patients who haven’t responded to SSRIs or benzodiazepines. Worth asking which of their protocols they typically recommend for anxiety-primary patients.
