Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Q&A


What Is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, noninvasive, medication-free treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation.

It is especially effective for individuals experiencing:

  • Treatment-resistant depression
  • Anxiety
  • OCD
  • Mood disorders that have not improved with medication alone

TMS is safe, comfortable, and requires no anesthesia or downtime — you can return to work or daily activities immediately after each session.

Why Patients Choose TMS

Many patients find us because:

  • Their depression medications are not working
  • They want options beyond medication
  • They’re experiencing side effects from antidepressants
  • They searched online for “how to manage depression without meds”
  • They looked up “treatment-resistant depression,” “non-medication depression treatment,” or “depression psychiatrist near me”

TMS offers real, proven results for people who feel stuck, exhausted, or discouraged with their current treatment.

How TMS Works

TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to activate specific brain regions that regulate mood, emotion, motivation, and focus.

This stimulation helps strengthen neural pathways and restore healthy brain activity — supporting long-term improvement in symptoms.

During treatment, you can expect:

  • 20–30 minute sessions
  • A comfortable seated position
  • No needles, no sedation, no recovery time
  • A personalized plan created by our clinical team
