Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation to assess your medical history and determine if tms therapy is the right option for you. We will discuss your symptoms and treatment goals in detail.

If TMS is suitable, a personalized treatment plan will be developed, often utilizing MRI to precisely target the brain areas for stimulation. This tailored approach ensures the most effective treatment for your unique needs.
Comfortable Treatment Sessions
TMS sessions are conducted in a comfortable, in-office setting and do not require anesthesia or sedation. You can relax during the procedure, which typically lasts between 20-40 minutes.
Targeted Magnetic Pulses
During each session, a magnetic coil is precisely placed on your head, delivering gentle, targeted magnetic pulses. These pulses stimulate the brain, helping to improve mood and reduce depressive symptoms.
