TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.

At Around the Block Healthcare, we provide TMS to support patients with:

• Treatment-resistant depression
• PTSD
• Anxiety
• Substance use recovery
• OCD and more

It’s especially effective for people who haven’t found relief with medications — or who are looking for alternative treatment paths that don’t rely solely on pharmaceuticals.

TMS works by delivering gentle magnetic pulses to the prefrontal cortex, the area of the brain responsible for mood and decision-making. These pulses stimulate nerve cells and promote neuroplasticity, helping the brain form healthier patterns and connections.

A typical course of TMS includes:

• Daily sessions (Mon–Fri) for 4–6 weeks
• Each session lasts 20–40 minutes
• No anesthesia or downtime required

TMS may be a great fit for:

• Adults with major depressive disorder (MDD) that hasn’t responded to medication
• Individuals in substance use recovery who struggle with persistent anxiety or trauma
• Patients looking to reduce or avoid long-term medication use
• People sensitive to side effects from psychiatric medications
• Anyone seeking science-backed alternatives for mood disorders

• A complete consultation with our licensed providers to determine candidacy
• Personalized treatment plan with session schedule
• Private, comfortable TMS treatment rooms
• You’ll remain fully awake and alert — most return to work right after treatment
• Close progress monitoring and collaboration with behavioral health team
