Nourishing your mental wellness is just as important as caring for your physical health — even mild mental health troubles can be improved by just having someone to talk to. At LiveWell Counseling, Christian Health's outpatient therapeutic counseling center in Wyckoff, New Jersey, the dedicated team of highly trained physicians and therapists is committed to normalizing mental health treatment. They provide compassionate mental health care in a comforting, nonjudgmental environment to help you learn healthy coping skills, ease your symptoms, and maintain a healthy, stable routine.

What to Expect at LiveWell

From your first appointment, you'll receive a personalized care plan, customized to your unique needs. This treatment plan may include counseling to talk through emotions and develop effective coping skills, medication to help alleviate your symptoms, or a combination of both.

Esketamine Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Depression

For many people with depression, treatment will relieve their symptoms so that they can return to the life they once enjoyed. However, for those with treatment-resistant depression (TRD), standard medications or therapy may not be 100 percent effective. Esketamine therapy is an innovative, groundbreaking treatment that can provide rapid relief for those struggling with TRD.

LiveWell Counseling offers esketamine therapy with SPRAVATO® — the first and only FDA-approved nasal spray for adults with treatment-resistant depression. In our comfortable, calming lounge, clients self-administer the SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray under the supervision of our board-certified psychiatrists and nurses.
