What to Expect

Six steps from your first call to your first TMS session.

How TMS works, and what happens from your first call onward

TMS delivers magnetic stimulation to the brain. During treatment, a small magnetic coil is placed against your head. Rapid magnetic pulses stimulate the targeted area of your brain. This helps boost brain activity in the area where low brain activity is responsible for depression.

Getting started is simpler than most people expect. Here is the path from a first conversation to your first full treatment session.

  1. 1

    Free intake and screening

    You will speak with a Treatment Coordination Specialist who will ask questions to make sure TMS is a potential fit for you and will answer any questions you may have.

    No cost, no referral needed
  2. 2

    Diagnostic assessment

    You will have a 60 to 90 minute appointment with a psychiatrist specializing in TMS to determine whether you meet the criteria for TMS treatment.

    60 to 90 minutes
  3. 3

    Insurance authorization

    We will work with your insurance company to get your TMS treatment covered. This can take up to two weeks, but we can often get an answer for you sooner.

    Up to two weeks, often sooner
  4. 4

    Mapping

    At your first appointment we will determine your correct treatment location and complete your first full TMS treatment session.
