Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood — giving hope when medications haven't worked.
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a breakthrough, non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields — similar to those used in MRI machines — to stimulate underactive nerve cells in the brain responsible for mood regulation.
During a TMS session, an electromagnetic coil is placed gently against your scalp near your forehead. Short magnetic pulses are then delivered painlessly to the prefrontal cortex — the part of your brain that controls mood.
Unlike antidepressants, TMS works directly on the brain without circulating medication through your bloodstream — meaning no systemic side effects like weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or sedation.
Each treatment session takes just 20–40 minutes, and patients can drive themselves home and return to their normal activities immediately after.

Proud Tricare East provider. We specialize in TMS for veterans, active military, first responders, and state employees with PTSD.
TMS therapy received FDA clearance for Major Depressive Disorder in 2008. Since then, it has been cleared for OCD and smoking cessation, with hundreds of thousands of successful treatments performed worldwide.
Unlike ECT (electroconvulsive therapy), TMS does not require anesthesia, does not cause memory loss, and has minimal side effects — the most common being mild scalp discomfort or headache that typically resolves after the first few sessions.
