In-person in Brookline

You have tried the medications. You have managed the side effects. And you are still waiting to feel like yourself again.

Maybe the first antidepressant helped a little. Maybe the second one did not. Maybe by the third you started wondering whether anything was going to work, or whether the problem was you.

It is not.

Depression that does not lift with medication is not a personal failing. It is a clinical reality that affects a significant number of people. It has a name — treatment-resistant depression — and it means the treatment has not reached the part of the brain that needs help.

TMS works differently. It does not enter your bloodstream. It does not cause the weight gain, the numbness, or the fatigue you may have been enduring. It uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain involved in mood regulation — directly, gently, and while you are fully awake.

You are not out of options. You may simply not have been offered the right one yet.

A treatment that works with your brain, not against your body.

  • FDA-Approved Treatment

    Transcranial magnetic stimulation — TMS — is an FDA-approved treatment for depression. It uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

  • Physical Therapy for the Brain

    Think of it as physical therapy for the part of your brain that depression has quieted down.

  • No Systemic Side Effects

    Unlike antidepressants, TMS does not work through your bloodstream. That means no weight gain, no sexual side effects, no emotional blunting, and no drowsiness. You stay clear-headed throughout.
