TMS: when medication hasn’t been enough.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for depression. We offer TMS in a supportive clinical setting with coordination into your broader care plan.
This site does not provide medical advice. If you are in crisis, call 988 or 911.
Who it’s for
TMS is typically considered for adults with major depression who haven’t had an adequate response to medication. A psychiatric evaluation and history help determine if TMS is appropriate. We do not treat everyone; eligibility is assessed individually.
Not for everyone. TMS is not for everyone. Contraindications can include certain implants, seizure history, or pregnancy. Our team will review your history and discuss options.
What a typical course looks like
Protocols vary; this is a general outline.
| When | What | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1–2 | Initial treatment sessions | Daily, ~20–40 min |
| Weeks 2–6 | Continued treatment | Typically 5 days/week |
| After acute course | Taper / maintenance (if applicable) | Per protocol |
| Throughout | Psychiatry and support | As needed |
Your care team
TMS is delivered by trained staff under physician oversight. You’ll also have access to psychiatry and support for medication and overall wellness during and after the TMS course.
If you are in crisis or at risk of harm to yourself or others, please call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or 911. TMS is not a crisis treatment. We screen for safety and coordinate with your existing providers.
