Transformational Psychiatry NW

If you are suffering from Depression, Anxiety, or other mental health challenges, TMS can help.

WHat is TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) uses a targeted pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) machine. While the patient is awake and alert, TMS Therapy stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in depression.

Our office uses the FDA approved “CloudTMS” machine. To learn more about this machine and what to expect at a TMS session, please click the button.

How does it work?

Each treatment session lasts between 5 and 20 minutes. It is an outpatient procedure performed in a psychiatric nurse practitioners office
A non-invasive procedure, meaning that it does not involve surgery and it does not hurt
Requires no anesthesia or sedation; the patient remains awake and alert during the treatment
Is focal and non-systemic, meaning it does not circulate in the bloodstream like medications and has little to no side-effects

The typical initial treatment course is usually 3-5 treatments per week. Each treatment session lasts between 5 and 20 minutes. This is over a 6-9 week period for an average of 20-36 total treatments.
