Are Antidepressants & Therapy Not Working?
Depression is a debilitating mental health condition that can significantly impact an individual’s daily life and well-being. Despite the availability of traditional treatments such as antidepressant medications and psychotherapy, many people continue to struggle with persistent symptoms of depression.
TMS therapy is a non-invasive and safe alternative treatment for depression that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. The treatment was first approved by the FDA in 2008. Since then, it has become an effective treatment for people who suffer from treatment- resistant depression.
Treatment involves placing a magnetic coil on the patient’s head which generates magnetic pulses that stimulate nerve cells in the brain, specifically in the Prefrontal Cortex. The targeted magnetic pulses help stimulate the areas of the brain that are typically under active in patients that suffer from depression. The magnetic fields are strong enough to activate the nerve cells, but not strong enough to cause discomfort or harm.
TMS therapy typically includes five sessions per week (Mon-Fri) over the course of 6 – 9 weeks, or until remission is achieved. Each treatment session lasts around 19 minutes, so patients are usually in and out of our clinic within 30 minutes! Patients can drive themselves to and from their appointment and resume their normal daily activities after their sessions
Is TMS Therapy Effective

Client Testimonial
“I struggled with depression and anxiety since I was young and, most of the time, I was able to manage with medications. However, shortly after I gave birth to my son seven months ago, I was struck with severe postpartum depression and anxiety, and medications were only having a minimal effect. On the highest doses, I still experienced despairing feelings, and debilitating anxiety. I tried TMS with an open mind and hoped these treatments would provide me some relief. I’m so glad I did. It has been life changing! I no longer feel depressed or ruminate. I’m able to be more present with my family, and I feel more hopeful.
After 25 years of being on medication, I am finally tapering off. After just 30 treatments of TMS, Dr. Elliott told me that I had reached remission – words I never thought I would hear from a doctor. TMS has truly been a game changer, and I am so grateful to Dr. Elliott and her team.”
