Your Path To Feeling Better With TMS Therapy

The first step is a phone screening. This is where we act as your resource, helping you understand the treatment and determining whether you’re a good candidate for TMS therapy. If we believe the treatment is right for you, we’ll arrange a consultation. During this one-on-one meeting, you’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions about the treatment. Once you feel confident and ready, we’ll book your first session.

TMS therapy starts with our physician determining the intensity and treatment location for the magnetic pulse. This helps us pinpoint the exact location in your brain that needs stimulation and create a customized treatment plan. The rMT determination is quick and is typically completed once during the course of treatment. After the determination, we will deliver your first treatment and schedule daily therapy sessions.

Your TMS therapy sessions will take place five days a week, typically for 6-9 weeks (a minimum of 36 sessions total). Each session lasts about 20 minutes. During the session, you’ll sit comfortably in a spa-like chair while a small magnet (approximately 12 inches in length) is placed on your head. You’ll feel a gentle tapping or vibrating sensation, but the process is non-invasive. You won’t need any anesthesia, and patients can continue their regular activities immediately after each session.

Once you’ve completed your 36 sessions, follow-up care will continue with your psychiatrist or other mental health professional. While many patients start seeing improvements after just a few weeks, every patient’s progress is unique.

Our team remains available to offer support and collaborate with your mental health provider to ensure your treatment plan is adjusted as needed.
