What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation):
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. As a certified NeuroStar® provider, we use the advanced NeuroStar system — a leading, evidence-based TMS therapy — to deliver precise, targeted stimulation in a safe, controlled, and comfortable setting.
NeuroStar TMS is a well-established treatment option, with over 7.9 million treatments performed in more than 216,000 patients nationwide. In real-world clinical use, 83% of patients who completed a full NeuroStar treatment cycle experienced a measurable improvement in depression symptoms, and 62% achieved remission, meaning they likely would no longer meet diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder.
NeuroStar TMS offers a powerful alternative for individuals with depression or other mood disorders who have not found sufficient relief with traditional treatments. Unlike medications, it does not affect the entire body, making it generally well tolerated with minimal side effects. This is especially meaningful when compared to research such as the STAR*D study, which found that the likelihood of remission decreases with each additional medication trial. NeuroStar TMS provides a different path forward — one that can support lasting improvements in mood, focus, and overall mental well-being.

Some common questions about our TMS therapy
1 / How is TMS different from other therapies?
TMS works differently than medications or talk therapy. Medications aren’t always easy to personalize — they may not work for some people due to genetics and can come with uncomfortable or even significant side effects. Talk therapy is valuable, but when depression symptoms are severe, it can be harder to fully participate and benefit. TMS goes straight to the source. It gently stimulates the area of the brain involved in mood regulation, treating depression at its neurological root.
2 / Does TMS hurt?
During the session, you will feel a tapping sensation on your head. Each treatment session lasts around 19 minutes. Some NeuroStar patients experience mild to moderate pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site during the first week of treatment.
3 / Is TMS therapy an effective treatment for depression?
If you’ve tried treatment for depression but haven’t found the relief you need, you’re not alone. NeuroStar TMS Therapy is clinically proven to significantly improve symptoms of depression.

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
Adolescent Indications for Use

Important Safety Information
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary.
The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient).
