TMS therapy is a non-invasive, outpatient treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells to help improve depression symptoms and other mental health conditions. TMS could provide the relief you deserve.
TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment designed by psychiatrists to help individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other mental health conditions. This innovative therapy uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other psychiatric disorders. At Psychiatry Treatment Centers (PTC), we offer TMS therapy as a safe and effective alternative for those who have not found relief through traditional antidepressant medications.
During TMS, a medical professional will place a device near the patient’s head which sends an electromagnetic pulse into the brain to increase its activity. Unlike traditional forms of psychotherapy and medication, TMS does not require any sedation or anesthesia and can be done in an outpatient setting.
TMS therapy is an FDA-approved, revolutionary new treatment option for mental health. TMS can treat a variety of psychiatric disorders. It can also be used to treat some physical conditions, such as chronic pain and migraines.
It's important to consult a psychiatrist to see if TMS therapy is the right treatment for you. We provide consultation appointments to assess just that. The psychiatrist will take into account factors such as your age, medical history, and current mental health status to determine whether TMS therapy is a good fit for your needs.
When you suffer from depression or a neurological disorder, you are not alone. Get help with depression today!

Generally, individual sessions can take anywhere from 30 – 40 minutes. We usually recommend for patients to receive five treatments a week for about 4 – 6 weeks. However, it's important to note that every patient is different, and some may need different lengths of sessions and/or courses. Your treatment can also differ based on the TMS device that is being used.
Side effects are possible but are generally minor and lessen with each treatment. This can include a headache, discomfort around the treatment area, tingling, spasms, or twitching of facial muscles, as well as lightheadedness. Only a small percentage of patients experience any side effects at all.
Yes, TMS is covered by most insurances but it can vary by state. Our current in-network provider for both California and Georgia is Medicare. Aetna, Cigna, Optum, United, MHN, Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Magellan, Tricare West, and Tricare East are all coming soon. It's always best to contact your carrier to determine eligibility for TMS Therapy.
Each of our locations, in both California and Georgia, leverage the Magstim Horizon 3.0 with Stimguide as well as the latest Brainsway TMS device. This means that we can provide deep TMS as well as rTMS. Contact us for details.
Magstim, a renowned provider of TMS solutions for mental health and a pioneer in neuroscience research, has declared that the FDA has approved the use of Horizon 3.0 (with or without StimGuide+) and E-z Cool Coil to treat adult patients suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). This clearance allows for a non-invasive treatment option for adult patients with OCD in conjunction with MDD.
Deep TMS, offered by BrainsWay, is a clinically proven, non-invasive outpatient procedure for treating various psychiatric conditions such as depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and smoking addiction. It is FDA-cleared with minimal side effects, short treatment time (20 minutes) and no lengthy recovery period, making it easy to fit into a patient's daily routine. Discover if Deep TMS is a suitable option for your mental health.
The electromagnetic pulses used in TMS therapy are non-invasive and painless, passing through the scalp to stimulate nerves beneath the surface. The strength of these pulses can be adjusted to achieve the desired therapeutic effect. By increasing neuron activity, TMS therapy helps the brain’s emotional regulation center function more effectively, providing relief for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression (TRD) and other mental health conditions. At Psychiatry Treatment Centers (PTC), we offer FDA-approved TMS therapy as part of our advanced psychiatric services, giving patients a safe and effective option for mental health treatment.
This electromagnetic stimulation increases brain activity, resulting in improved cognitive functioning, increased energy levels, and improved mood. TMS therapy has very few side effects and is covered by most insurance providers, making it an affordable option for many.
Have you been wondering if TMS therapy can help you with your unique demands? Take a look at the following common mental health problems and examine how TMS treatment may assist in your well-being.
—
Approximately one in five people are afflicted with OCD. Genetics have been implicated in its causation, although a communication break down between brain regions responsible for decision making and emotion control (particularly the frontal lobe), as well as other factors, has also been discovered. TMS may help to cure the distressing symptoms of OCD.
—
TMS therapy was approved by the FDA for the treatment of depression in 2008. It is also used to treat adolescents and young adults with depression instead of long-term use of antidepressants. TMS is a powerful, non-invasive therapy that can aid people in overcoming severe depression.
—
TMS may assist you in alleviating the effects of your manic episodes if you have bipolar disorder. If you have bipolar disease, TMS treatment might aid in the management of your highs and lows. This therapy employs magnetic pulses to keep your emotions stable and help maintain emotional balance in your life.
—
Researchers have discovered that eating disorders such as anorexia affect the brain. The striatal, frontal, and limbic brain networks are particularly susceptible, with the prefrontal cortex being the most notable. TMS can restore balance to the prefrontal cortex and reset disrupted neural pathways by stimulating it.
—
Many individuals claim to be nervous or anxious in today's society but that does not imply they have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. GAD is a debilitating, chronic anxiety disorder that interferes with everyday functioning and can strike at any age. TMS therapy can be used as a long-term treatment alternative to medication for GAD.
—
Insomnia can be a terrible burden to live with. It involves persistent problems falling asleep and staying asleep, which are frequently linked to poor sleeping habits or chronic illness. Difficulty going off shift at night or waking up during the day might indicate insomnia; you may feel weary and irritable as a result of these disruptions to your regular routine.
—
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a condition that develops as a result of frightening events. Flashbacks, nightmares, sleeplessness, and anxiety or sadness are symptoms. TMS promotes neural connectivity between the prefrontal cortex and the region responsible for emotional control, especially the amygdala, which helps decrease PTSD severity.
—
Drugs and alcohol can be dangerous to your mental and physical health. They also wreak havoc on families and relationships. If you or someone you care about is dealing with addiction, specialized therapy such as TMS may help with long-term, drug-free relief from cravings. We can assist you in this process.
—
There is no doubt that smoking addiction has a negative impact on our general health and brain function. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been investigated as a smoking cessation therapy and has shown positive results, with deep TMS treatment for smoking cessation being licensed by the FDA in 2020. Stop smoking with help from TMS.
Our free online assessments can help you measure the intensity of your depression or anxiety symptoms and monitor any variations over time. Our PHQ-9 and GAD-7 questionnaires do not collect any personal information from you, so your responses will remain completely anonymous. You can bookmark or favorite these quizzes for future reference in order to track your progress over time.
