Where remission from lifelong suffering can happen in the span of a week
TMS is a safe, effective, rapid-acting breakthrough treatment that sends pulses of magnetic energy (similar to an MRI machine) to stimulate specific areas of the brain that are under active and play a critical role in regulating your emotional well-being.
Personalized mental healthcare
We offer both Traditional and Accelerated TMS treatments to fit your needs. Traditional TMS provides consistent results with one to two sessions per day, while Accelerated TMS offers faster results with daily sessions. The best option depends on your condition, desired outcomes, and schedule. Our behavioral health team will assess your symptoms and recommend the ideal approach for your personalized care plan.
"We believe in stopping help that has not been helpful, pausing, and approaching individuals with mental illness from new perspectives with innovative approaches."

TMS | Outcomes
Depression & Anxiety
60-80% of patients experience complete remission
86% of patients reported sustained improvement or remission for at least a year.
In a recent study, TMS achieved 72% remission and 81.6% response in 1,351 treatment-resistant patients, including 930 who had failed an average of 7.4 antidepressants.
OCD
TMS was recently independently validated as the best and most cost effective treatment in the world for OCD.
72% of patients with OCD experienced initial improvement, with nearly 60% maintaining positive results after completing the full treatment course.
Nearly 90% of patients reporting sustained improvement or remission of their OCD symptoms for at least a year, offering hope for long-term recovery.
Bipolar Depression
TMS significantly reduces depressive symptoms in bipolar disorder, with response rates of 40-60% and remission rates up to 30-40%, particularly in patients who haven't responded to medications.
Unlike some pharmacological treatments, TMS has a relatively low risk of triggering manic episodes, which is a major concern with conventional antidepressant medications.

Accelerated vs. Traditional TMS
The difference between accelerated and traditional TMS primarily lies in session frequency, duration, and overall treatment timeline:
Accelerated TMS
The most robust protocol available with multiple sessions per day (typically 5-10 per day).
Duration of Treatment: Condensed into a few days (5 or 10 days based on patient schedule), for 50 total sessions.
Session Time: Shorter bursts, often under 10 minutes per session
Use Case: Aimed at providing incredibly rapid symptom relief, also particularly effective in severe cases such as treatment-resistant depression and anxiety.
Most insurances cover only a portion of accelerated TMS, so hybrid or self pay is the most common arrangement.
Traditional TMS
Session Frequency: Typically 1-2 session per day.
Duration of Treatment: Lasts 3 to 4 weeks, for 36 total sessions.
Session Time: Shorter bursts, often under 10 minutes per session
Use Case: Designed for a slower, gradual therapeutic effect and for individuals with less schedule flexibility.
Most insurances cover a full course of Traditional TMS.
