What Is TMS Therapy?

A Different Approach to Mental Health Treatment

When depression, OCD, or anxious depression continues despite treatment, it can feel discouraging to keep searching for answers.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-drug, non-invasive treatment that works differently than medication. Using targeted magnetic pulses, TMS stimulates specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, helping many patients achieve meaningful improvement in their symptoms.

At Lighthouse Mental Wellness, we offer NeuroStar® Advanced TMS Therapy, the leading TMS treatment system in the United States. NeuroStar is FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression in adults, as an adjunct treatment for OCD in adults, for anxious depression in adults, and as an adjunct treatment for major depressive disorder in adolescents and young adults ages 15 to 21.

Take the TMS Assessment

  • Medication works by circulating throughout the body. TMS takes a different approach.

    NeuroStar Advanced TMS Therapy uses targeted magnetic stimulation to activate underactive areas of the brain associated with depression and related conditions. Treatment is performed in our office while you remain awake and alert, with no anesthesia, sedation, or recovery time required.

    For many patients, TMS offers an opportunity to explore a treatment option that does not involve adding another medication to their daily routine.
