Built for What Service Leaves Behind

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses gentle magnetic pulses to wake up the parts of the brain that control mood and stress. Sessions take about 20 minutes. There’s no sedation, no downtime, and you can drive yourself home.

Depression

Low mood, exhaustion, losing interest in the things and people you care about. TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, including depression that hasn’t improved with medication.

Depression with PTSD

When nightmares, hypervigilance, and a short fuse come with depression. We treat the depression, and many patients notice that the rest of the symptoms get easier to manage too.

What often improves along the way

Better sleep. Clearer thinking. More patience with the people at home. Many patients report these as their depression lifts.
