Finding the right treatment for depression can be a long journey, but at Light-tunnel Behavioral Health Services, the path to relief starts with a simple, no-pressure conversation.
If you are considering Spravato® (esketamine), an innovative FDA-approved nasal spray for treatment-resistant depression. Dr. Omolola Aragbada, PMHNP-BC, offers a 15-minute free consultation to help you decide if this path is right for you.
A Sanctuary for Healing in New Haven
Located on the 19th floor of 157 Church Street, Light-tunnel Behavioral Health is intentionally designed to be the opposite of a sterile medical office. Dr. Aragbada has curated a serene, relaxed setup where the atmosphere is as much a part of the healing process as the medication itself.
- Skyline Views: The elevated location provides a sense of perspective and calm.
- Quiet & Private: The clinic features private, comfortable treatment rooms tailored for the two-hour Spravato monitoring period.
- A Holistic Vibe: From the lighting to the seating, every detail is focused on reducing “clinical anxiety” and promoting a sense of safety.
What Happens in Your 15-Minute Consultation?
This brief, complimentary session is designed as a “fit check” rather than a full diagnostic exam. It is a time for you to interview the provider as much as it is for her to understand your needs.
- Meet Dr. “Lola”: Patients often describe Dr. Aragbada as a “compassionate listener” who breaks down complex medical jargon into easy-to-understand terms.
- Initial Screen: You’ll briefly discuss your history with antidepressants. Spravato is typically reserved for adults who haven’t found relief from at least two prior medications.
- The Spravato “Walkthrough”: Dr. Aragbada will explain the logistics—from the self-administration of the spray to the mandatory two-hour relaxation period afterward.
- No-Obligation Q&A: This is your chance to ask about costs, insurance coverage (she accepts Aetna, Medicare, and others), and how Spravato integrates with your current therapy.

As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Dr. Aragbada brings a participatory approach to care. She doesn’t just “prescribe”; she collaborates with you to create a plan that honors your unique story.

Taking the First Step
The “light-tunnel” name reflects the clinic’s mission: helping you find the light at the end of the tunnel of depression. Because Spravato works on the glutamate system rather than serotonin alone, many patients feel a shift in symptoms much faster than with traditional pills.
In an era where mental health is increasingly recognized as a cornerstone of overall well-being, the financial barriers to accessing psychiatric care remain a daunting reality for millions. You don’t have to choose between your mental health and financial stability.
At Light-tunnel Behavioral Health Services in New Haven, Dr. Omolola Aragbada, PMHNP-BC, is bridging this gap by offering transparent, affordable self-pay options and specialized treatment packages designed to make high-quality psychiatric care accessible to everyone.
