PTSD can feel monumental—you don’t have to deal with it alone.
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. TMS has been studied as a potential treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) as it may help to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression associated with PTSD. TMS is delivered using a device that generates a magnetic field, which is then directed at specific areas of the brain thought to be involved in the regulation of mood and anxiety. The magnetic field induces an electrical current in the brain, which can stimulate nerve cells and change their activity.
Where our standard TMS treatment is for 30 sessions over a 6-week period, the accelerated protocol involves 10 treatments a day for 5 days (“Accelerated TMS”).
FDA cleared.
Ketamine is a relatively new alternative medication for depression that is extremely safe and can cause lasting changes in brain chemistry that lead to long-term relief from depression symptoms.
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent type of mental health condition in the United States.

Originally used as a pediatric anesthetic, ketamine has shown to be an effective drug for fighting depression. Ketamine works differently in your brain than other antidepressant medications. Conventional antidepressants such as SSRIs have to build up in your system to change your brain chemistry.
TMS therapy is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to those of an MRI machine—to awaken parts of the brain underactive in people who suffer from depression.
We offer medication management, IV treatments, and more to feel like yourself again and get on the right track.

Anxiety and depression often co-occur, so you may also struggle with feelings of intense sadness, hopelessness, or worthlessness. Even if you experience some of the physical symptoms of anxiety, realize that anxiety is really an issue in the brain. Areas of the brain, such as the amygdala, trigger an individual’s “fight or flight” response by releasing a chemical called cortisol, which causes the rest of the body to engage a system of arousal called the sympathetic nervous system. When the sympathetic nervous system is engaged today, individuals may feel the same thing that our ancestors felt in the wild when we ran from predators. By targeting areas of the brain that control the sympathetic nervous system, we can keep the symptoms of anxiety at bay.
Anxiety as an emotion is part of our natural evolutionary fight or flight response to danger. Excessive anxiety, however, is related to a complex combination of biological and environmental factors. Some of the possible causes and contributors to anxiety disorders include:
ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS
factors such as work, family issues, or problems in relationships can contribute to or trigger anxiety.
GENETICS
Individuals with family members who have an anxiety disorder are more likely to experience one.
MEDICAL RISK FACTORS
Some diseases or medications can come with anxiety-inducing symptoms.
BRAIN CHEMISTRY
Many anxiety disorders are related to imbalances of neurotransmitters within the brain.
SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Withdrawal from various illicit substances can induce or worsen anxiety.
Everyone feels stressed or worried from time to time. However, if your fears and nervousness are interfering with your ability to function, or are affecting your overall quality of life, it’s time to get help. Anxiety can affect anyone, and if you’re concerned about your mental health, the first step in getting better is talking to a professional.
