Lombard, Illinois
Autism brain mapping and personalized TMS therapy
We record a qEEG map of your child’s brain, then use it to plan gentle, non-invasive TMS aimed at regulation, sleep, attention and communication. No medication and no sedation. We also treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and brain injury, for families across Chicago and the western and south suburbs.

What autism families work toward
Every child is different, and so is every plan. These are the changes parents most often ask us to help with.
Calmer regulation
Fewer and shorter meltdowns, and an easier time recovering from them.
Steadier sleep
Falling asleep, staying asleep and calmer mornings.
Attention and learning
Staying with a task, at home and at school.
Communication and connection
More engagement with the people around them.
These are goals, not promises. TMS for autism is an off-label use, results vary from child to child, and we track progress every week so you can see what is changing.
From brain map to treatment
What care at Reign-Bow looks like, step by step.

Gentle, tracked sessions
Short TMS sessions with weekly check-ins and a repeat map to show what’s changing.
Autism first. Then depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and brain injury.
Autism is our primary focus. We also treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, PTSD and traumatic brain injury. Every plan begins the same way: with a recording of how the brain is working today.
- AutismSupport for regulation, sleep, attention and communication in autistic children, teens and adults.Off-label use
- DepressionFor depression that hasn’t lifted with medication or therapy.FDA-cleared use
- AnxietyFor anxiety that comes with depression, and for worry that hasn’t eased with other care.Cleared for anxious depression
- ADHDA non-drug option for attention and impulse control.Off-label use
- OCDFor obsessions and compulsions that persist despite medication and ERP.FDA-cleared use
- PTSDFor trauma symptoms that persist after therapy.Off-label use
- TBIFor focus, mood and sleep problems that linger after a concussion or brain injury.Off-label use
“FDA-cleared use” means the FDA has cleared TMS systems for that condition. “Off-label” means a clinician is using a cleared device for a different purpose. That is legal and common in medicine, and it is backed by less research. We will always tell you which one applies to you.
Why we map before we treat
Most TMS clinics use the same coil position and the same settings for everyone with a given diagnosis. We think two people with the same diagnosis can have very different brains, so we look first. A qEEG brain map takes less than an hour, doesn’t hurt, and gives us something objective to plan from and to measure against.
| Standard TMS | qEEG-guided TMS at Reign-Bow | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the coil goes | The same scalp location for nearly everyone with the diagnosis | Chosen with your brain map alongside your symptoms and history |
| Stimulation settings | A fixed protocol | Selected with your own brainwave data in view, then adjusted |
| Measuring progress | Symptom questionnaires | Symptom questionnaires, weekly check-ins and a repeat brain map |
| Evidence | Large sham-controlled trials for depression and OCD | Built on the same TMS technology. EEG-guided methods are newer, and large head-to-head trials haven’t been done yet. |

Brain map and care plan
We record a qEEG, read it, and walk you through what it shows in plain language. If treatment makes sense, you get a written plan, reviewed by our medical director.
Treatment, tracked every week
Sessions begin. We check in weekly, repeat the brain map during care and adjust the plan to what we see.
What families say
Reviews families have shared about their care. Every child is different, and results vary.
Great facility. My daughter was very relaxed due to the calm environment. Staff was excellent and very patient with my daughter as at times she can be overwhelmed with new surroundings. After the first session, my daughter felt at home. She welcomed the treatment sessions with a smile. I see positive changes in her overall mood. She sleeps better and doesn’t script anymore. She also allows family to socialize with her; before treatment she would isolate herself. My wife and I are eager for next maintenance in May.
The clinic and especially the staff were absolutely amazing! We have a 7 year old autistic son and the whole time we were there getting treatment it felt like a family. And the clinic itself is clean and beautiful. After the treatment our son is doing absolutely amazing! His world has totally opened up again, his learning has taken off and he is playing with toys and requesting things he has never been interested in before!
Amazing staff. Margarita is great. They have so much patience for kids. Definetly recommend
Therapy alongside TMS
Stimulation can change how the brain is working. Therapy helps you use that change. We offer psychotherapy for adults, children and families at the clinic, on its own or scheduled around TMS sessions, and we coordinate with therapists and prescribers you already see.

Questions parents ask
What is qEEG-guided TMS?
It’s transcranial magnetic stimulation that is planned from a recording of your own brain activity. We record a qEEG, use it together with your history to choose where and how to stimulate, and repeat it during care to check progress.
Is TMS safe?
TMS has been FDA-cleared since 2008 and has a well-described safety profile. The common side effects are scalp discomfort and headache. Seizures are rare. We screen every patient before treatment.
What ages do you treat?
We see children, teens and adults. Whether TMS is appropriate for a particular child is decided at the consultation.
Do you accept insurance?
We work with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois, UnitedHealthcare, Cigna and Aetna and verify your benefits before treatment. Coverage depends on your plan and diagnosis. Self-pay options are available.
How soon can we start?
Appointments are scheduled in advance and availability is limited, so it’s worth reaching out early. The first steps are an insurance review and a consultation.
