What is TMS?

Think of TMS as a gentle nudge for your brain. It uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of your brain associated with mood regulation. The best part? It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require any anesthesia or medications.

Why Choose TMS?

Backed by Experts: The American Psychiatric Association has been giving TMS a thumbs up since 2010. That's a decade of professional endorsement!
Gentle on Your Body: Unlike some antidepressants, TMS doesn't cause side effects like weight gain or sexual dysfunction. And don't worry—it's not like ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy), a more intensive treatment that can affect memory. With TMS, your memory stays intact.
Fits Your Life: TMS sessions are quick and require no downtime. You can resume your day immediately, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.
