Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

At Veracity Psychology, we understand that depression and other mental health conditions can be challenging—especially when traditional treatments have not provided the relief you deserve. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that offers hope for individuals struggling with treatment-resistant depression and certain other mental health conditions.

How Does TMS Work?

TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. In individuals with depression, these regions may be underactive. By stimulating these areas, TMS can help restore healthy brain activity and improve symptoms over time.

Unlike medications, TMS targets the brain directly and does not circulate throughout the body, which means it avoids many of the common side effects associated with antidepressant medications.

What Can TMS Treat?

TMS is FDA-cleared for:

  • Major Depressive Disorder (Depression)
  • Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
  • Smoking Cessation

Research also continues to explore its effectiveness for conditions such as anxiety, PTSD, and chronic pain.

TMS treatments are performed in our office and typically last between 20–30 minutes per session.

During treatment:

  • You remain awake and alert.
  • No anesthesia or sedation is required.
  • You can drive yourself to and from appointments.
  • Most patients return to work, school, or daily activities immediately afterward.

A typical treatment course consists of five sessions per week for several weeks, though your provider will create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

Yes. TMS has been extensively studied and is considered a safe, well-tolerated treatment. The most common side effects are mild and may include:

  • Temporary scalp discomfort
  • Mild headache
  • Tingling sensation at the treatment site

Serious side effects are rare.

You may be a candidate for TMS if you:

  • Have depression that has not improved with medication
  • Have experienced unwanted side effects from antidepressants
  • Prefer a non-medication treatment option
  • Are seeking additional support as part of a comprehensive mental health treatment plan
