Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy
Our TMS Therapy is a non-invasive treatment for depression and PTSD, utilizing magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This therapy is highly effective for patients who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Effective Treatment for Depression and PTSD
Our TMS Therapy is a proven solution for residents of Lacey who are struggling with depression and PTSD. Unlike traditional treatments that may rely heavily on medication, TMS directly targets the brain areas involved in mood regulation.
This focused approach has shown significant success, especially for those who have not found relief with other treatments.
Non-Invasive with No Systemic Side Effects
One of the major advantages of TMS Therapy is its non-invasive nature. The treatment involves no surgery, no anesthesia, and no recovery time.
Unlike medications, which can cause a range of side effects throughout the body, TMS is localized to the brain, minimizing the risk of systemic side effects. This makes it a safer, more comfortable option for many patients.

Frequently Asked Questions about TMS for Anxiety
What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, which can improve symptoms of anxiety and other mental health conditions. TMS is also used for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), highlighting its effectiveness in targeting the prefrontal cortex and its potential therapeutic effect when combined with cognitive processing therapy.
How long does a TMS treatment session last?
Each TMS session lasts about 30-40 minutes. Patients typically undergo sessions five times a week for about four to six weeks, depending on individual needs.
Is TMS safe?
Yes, TMS is a safe and well-tolerated treatment. It is FDA-approved and has been extensively researched, showing positive results in many clinical trials.
Will I feel any discomfort during TMS sessions?
Most patients do not find TMS sessions uncomfortable. You may feel a tapping sensation on your scalp, but it is generally well-tolerated. Any minor side effects, such as headaches or scalp discomfort, are usually temporary.
Can I return to normal activities after a TMS session?
Yes, you can resume your normal daily activities immediately after a TMS session. There is no downtime associated with TMS therapy.
Do I need a referral to start TMS treatment?
While a referral from a healthcare provider can be helpful, it is not always necessary. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is used for the treatment of anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). You can schedule a consultation with our team to determine if TMS is the right option for you.
