If you are suffering from medication resistant depression, anxiety, OCD, or PTSD, a combination of talk therapy and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) may be the answer for you. For many people, antidepressants do not fully relieve the symptoms or cause too many side effects, and it can become very difficult going through multiple medications that do not seem to work. After failed medication attempts, you are eligible to be treated with TMS and therapy together. Call our Specialists to learn more about your options.

We are living in a strange time, a kind of bubble we’ve created to protect ourselves against an invisible enemy. We wear masks; we limit our contact with friends and family. We don’t go to shows, galleries, concerts or clubs. We have learned to adapt to very difficult and strange circumstances. Check my website for more information and suggestions on some of the best ways to cope.
