Need help deciding?
Book a general assessment and we’ll guide you to the right plan — whether that
includes medication management, or TMS Therapy.
Tried everything and still feeling stuck? TMS could help.
TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate
underactive areas of the brain. It’s especially effective for depression that hasn’t responded to medication.

Your TMS Treatment Options
Standard TMS
TMS can help by restoring normal nerve activity and connectivity in the brain. Using this noninvasive procedure, we target specific areas of the brain, based on each patient’s imaging, using repetitive magnetic pulses.
Accelerated TMS
Accelerated TMS is a modification of standard TMS that takes place in as little as five days. BrainStim Centers offers accelerated TMS therapy for a variety of diagnosis/symptoms and has seen wonderful results in alleviating symptoms for patients who are resistant to medication or are tired of the side effects. At BrainStim Centers, our accelerated TMS is a program of intensive TMS which is highly individualized to each person’s specific brain circuitry based on precise qEEG and MRI data and can be tailored to treat a variety of symptoms.
The SAINT Protocol - Accelerated TMS
The SAINT protocol delivers 1800 pulses per session instead of 600 with standard TMS. Each session is separated by a period of 50 minutes, so the sessions build upon each other and amplify the antidepressant effect. Patients receive 10 sessions per day for 5 days, each lasting approximately 10 minutes, instead of one per day lasting approximately 37 minutes.
Neuro-Navigated TMS
Neuro-navigated TMS uses individual brain imaging to guide and personalize treatment with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike standard TMS, which relies on general landmarks, neuro-navigation allows clinicians to visually map and track the exact brain region being stimulated in real time. This precision enhances both the effectiveness and consistency of treatment by ensuring the magnetic pulses reach the intended target every session.
What Happens During Treatment?
For depression, we typically target the left prefrontal cortex – an area that helps regulate mood and is often under-active in people with depression. A device containing a magnetic coil is placed against your head, in which the coil sends painless magnetic pulses to specific brain regions that control mood and behavior. These pulses help activate brain cells and restore healthy activity patterns.
Your journey with BrainStim begins by assessing your brain’s current function and performance through non-invasive tests like MRI, quantitative EEG (qEEG), and psychometric evaluations. These tools help us measure brain activity and identify areas needing support. Depending on your symptoms, our clinical team selects the most relevant tests and carefully analyzes the results to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique brain patterns.
Will my Insurance Cover TMS?
Most commercial insurance companies have a policy allowing coverage for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) when it is used to treat the diagnosis of major depression.
These requirements vary depending on your insurance plan. Our insurance team will go over these specific requirements with you to ensure a smooth process.
Our experienced team will handle the paperwork and submit your prior authorization requests to your insurance company, making the process as easy and stress-free as possible for you.

Kat
Patient
"I was on the verge of suicide. I thought nothing in the world could take these thoughts away until my Psychiatrist told me about TMS. After two weeks of this, I felt improvement. Now that I am done with the program, I have found myself depression free 83%. I am planning on doing a 2nd round. TMS has changed my life and outlook. I’m so grateful for this treatment."
