First, you'll have a free virtual consult with one of our TMS coordinators to answer questions and gather insurance info. Then you'll meet with our psychiatrist, Dr. Carey, for an evaluation. If you're a good candidate, we handle insurance approval and schedule your first treatment (called a “mapping”).

Yes. Most major insurance plans—including Medicaid—cover TMS for depression, and some cover it for anxiety or OCD. We do all the insurance checks and prior authorizations.

TMS is a great option for people who haven’t responded to medications or therapy. During your consult and evaluation, we’ll determine whether it’s a good fit for your needs.

We are thrilled that the FDA recently approved TMS for adolescents 15+ as a first-line adjunct treatment, meaning it can be used alongside other treatments like antidepressant medications or talk therapy, even if the patient hasn't tried other options previously. Children younger than 15 may be approved with self-pay.

Not at all. TMS is non-invasive, does not require anesthesia, and has no memory-related side effects. You're fully awake during treatment.

TMS sessions are quick and done in-office. You’ll sit comfortably while a magnetic coil is placed against your scalp. Most sessions last about 18-25 minutes, and you’re awake the whole time.

You’ll sit comfortably while the TMS device delivers magnetic pulses. You can relax, listen to music, or scroll your phone. 

Most people describe it as a tapping sensation on the scalp. Some may experience mild discomfort or a brief headache, which typically lessens over time.

Unlike medications, TMS is not systemic and has few side effects. The most common are scalp discomfort and mild headaches, both of which are temporary and decrease with time.

Most patients receive TMS five days a week for about 7 weeks, for a total of 36 treatments. Your schedule will be customized to fit your needs.

Many patients experience long-term relief after a full course. Some may benefit from maintenance sessions over time. Your care team will help you plan for lasting success.
