Drug-free Depression Treatment That Lasts
If you're among the many dealing with depression, you've likely explored various medications and therapies in search of relief. Unfortunately, these approaches don't always yield satisfactory results for everyone and often come with notable side effects, contributing to the ongoing struggle. The constant cycle of trial and error can be draining.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy offers an alternative. TMS is a non-pharmacological treatment for major depression that utilizes focused magnetic pulses—similar to those in an MRI—to reawaken dormant synapses in the brain, restoring optimal brain function. Importantly, TMS is not a drug, electroconvulsive therapy, or surgery. It stands as a safe and effective treatment for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD), without the typical side effects associated with medications.
FDA-Cleared
TMS has received clearance from the FDA, offering a treatment for depression with minimal side effects and proven effectiveness.
Medication-Free
It can serve as a standalone treatment or complement your current medication regimen.
No Downtime
Zero systemic side effects after treatment - Get back to your day right away, including work or school.
Insurance
Most major insurance providers cover TMS therapy, and we'll take care of the paperwork for you.

For approximately one-third of individuals who find little to no relief from antidepressants, TMS therapy stands as an FDA-approved, non-drug alternative for treating depression. In a NeuroStar session, a magnet, comparable in strength to an MRI machine, stimulates nerve cells in the mood-controlling region of the brain. These magnetic pulses positively influence neurotransmitter levels, offering the potential for long-term remission.
