Which one sounds like you
Trauma Doesn't Stay In The Past
PTSD is not only flashbacks. For a lot of people, it is being permanently on guard or feeling nothing at all. Find the pattern that sounds like you.
Treatments
How We Treat it
Medication is often the starting point. Where depression has come with the PTSD, Deep TMS treats that depression, and it does not require you to talk through what happened.
Antidepressant treatment chosen and reviewed properly, not simply refilled. If you are breastfeeding, that is part of the conversation from the first visit, not an afterthought.
Magnetic pulses stimulate the brain region that regulates mood. It is not a drug and nothing enters your bloodstream, which is why it is worth asking about if you are weighing medication while breastfeeding.

Who We Can help, And Who We Can't
What you have already tried matters as much as your diagnosis. If we are not the right place, we will tell you.
- You have PTSD and low mood together, and medication alone has not been enough
- You are on an SSRI or SNRI and still on edge, still not sleeping
- Two or more medications have not given you enough relief
- You are already in trauma therapy and want the medication side handled properly alongside it
- You have carried this for years and it has never been properly assessed
- You are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself. Call or text 988. Veterans can press 1
- You are under 15
- You need inpatient or emergency care
Our promise
Two Things We Commit to
For PTSD, trauma-focused therapy usually does the heavy lifting. We handle the medication and Deep TMS side and work alongside your therapist. If therapy is the bigger priority right now, we will say so.
We track your mood with the PHQ-9 at the start, partway through and at the end. No pushing you through a course that isn't helping.
Frequently asked
What patients ask before reaching out.
Do I need a referral?
No, not for any of our treatments. Contact us directly. If you already have a therapist or psychiatrist, we coordinate with them with your permission.
Will I have to talk about what happened?
Not in detail, and not to get started. We need enough to understand your symptoms and treat them safely. Working through the events themselves is what trauma therapy is for, at your pace, with a therapist.
Is Deep TMS FDA-cleared for PTSD?
No. Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder. Depression very often comes with PTSD, and that is the part it is cleared to treat. We will tell you honestly whether it is a fit for your situation rather than stretching the claim.
Do I have to stop my medication?
No. Deep TMS is done alongside your medication. Any change to what you take is a decision you make with your prescriber, never a condition of starting.
Is TMS the same as ECT or shock therapy?
No. You stay fully awake, there is no anesthetic, nothing enters your bloodstream, and you drive yourself home afterwards.
Can I keep seeing my own therapist?
Yes, and for PTSD we would encourage it. If you are seeing a therapist or counselor, we coordinate with them with your permission. Medication and TMS work alongside talk therapy, not instead of it.
Will insurance cover it?
We check your specific plan before you commit to anything, so there are no surprises.
