Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Clinic

Treatments and Services

We provide transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive treatment that typically has no widespread side effects.

What to Expect

TMS treatment consists of a series of visits to our outpatient clinic:

  • Initial consultation: Your provider will review your psychiatric and medical history, medications, and goals.
  • Mapping session: We’ll determine the best site for TMS and the right intensity for the treatment.
  • Treatment course: You’ll have five sessions per week for four to six weeks. Each session lasts about 30 minutes.
  • Follow-up: After your treatment is over, you’ll have follow-ups so we can monitor your symptoms and make adjustments to treatment as needed.
