Michael Ficaro is a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in the state of Illinois. Michael has been in the mental health field for ten years and has experience working with both adolescents and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Michael has worked with patients with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, OCD, PTSD, ADHD, substance use disorders, spectrum disorders, personality disorders, and behavioral disorders. Michael also offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).
TMS therapy provides long-term results for people suffering from depression. It is backed by multiple clinical trials that show it is a safe and effective treatment. TMS may also help OCD, PTSD, and anxiety. Anti-depressant medications can cause undesired side effects. TMS therapy doesn’t involve medication, you won’t have fatigue, insomnia, or weight gain.
Due to its innovative treatment and proven efficacy, NeuroStar TMS Therapy may be covered by your insurance health plan. Many insurance companies have established medical coverage policies for NeuroStar TMS Therapy as it is FDA Approved. You may call us today to find out!
