People usually find us after a long search. They’ve tried therapy, medication or both, and they want to know whether there is a way to look at the brain itself. There is, and this is how we use it.
Step one: measure
Every plan starts with a qEEG brain map. We record the brain’s electrical activity at 19 sites and compare it with people the same age. We’re looking for regions running fast or slow, and for areas that aren’t working together.
Step two: plan
Our clinical team reads the map alongside your history, symptoms and goals. If TMS is a good fit, the map guides where and how we stimulate, and our medical director reviews every treatment plan before it starts. Sometimes the right recommendation is psychotherapy, or a referral somewhere else, and we say so.
Step three: treat and track
TMS sessions are short and need no medication or sedation. You go back to your day afterward. We check in every week and repeat the map during care, so you can see what is changing.
How it differs by condition
- Autism is our primary focus. TMS here is off-label and the research is early. We aim at regulation, sleep, attention and communication, and we’re candid that some children respond and some don’t.
- Depression is the use TMS is best known for. It has been FDA-cleared since 2008.
- Anxiety is a cleared use when it comes with depression, and off-label on its own.
- OCD is cleared on specific TMS systems. ADHD is off-label.
What we don’t do
We don’t promise outcomes, and we don’t ask you to give up the care you already have. We verify your insurance before treatment, so the cost is never a surprise.
