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.

Sound familiar?
Most families who call us have already tried a great deal. What they describe is the part that hasn’t moved.
Meltdowns without warning
Big reactions that seem to come out of nowhere, and take hours to settle.
Sleep that never settles
Late nights, early mornings and a household running on empty.
Overwhelmed by the everyday
Noise, transitions or a change in routine that derail the whole day.
Therapy that helps, but not enough
Speech, OT, ABA or medication, and still the same struggles at home and school.
Told there’s nothing else to try
A diagnosis, a list of services, and no one who has looked at how the brain is actually working.
You’re not out of options. Families come to us working toward calmer regulation, steadier sleep, better attention and more connection.
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.
We map the brain before we treat it
Most TMS clinics use the same coil position and the same settings for everyone with a given diagnosis. 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. |

“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.
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.

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.

We have one clinic, in Lombard. Families drive in from Chicago and from across the western and south suburbs.
