We believe you can experience freedom from your depression and can with TMS Therapy. If traditional treatments haven’t given you the relief you’ve been looking for, TMS may be another path forward.

Inquire with us today and find out if it is a good fit for you!

Unlike medications that work systemically, TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in mood regulation — helping restore normal neural activity. A typical TMS session is simple and comfortable: Before your first session, you’ll complete a consultation to determine if TMS is right for you.

At each session, a small magnetic coil will be gently positioned on your scalp. During the treatment, you’ll feel a light tapping sensation as magnetic pulses stimulate targeted areas of the brain. Sessions usually last about 20–40 minutes, and you’ll remain awake and alert the entire time. A full course of treatment generally includes five sessions per week for 7 weeks, depending on your personalized care plan.

If you’ve tried multiple treatments for depression but still haven’t found relief, TMS Therapy may be another option to consider.

Both research and clinical evidence show that Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be an effective treatment for certain mental health conditions, especially for individuals who haven’t had success with antidepressant medications or who struggle with their side effects.

In fact, TMS has a response rate of approximately 50–72% for people with treatment-resistant depression, meaning many patients experience meaningful improvements in mood and a reduction in symptoms.

The key to keeping your new years resolutions is setting them with intention — and only setting a few, or even just one! Keep the list small and manageable. And instead of restricting activities, think about creating new habits that bring you joy.

Nature immersion: The Twin Cities are far from lacking in natural beauty, so perhaps you'll want to take in some more of it this year — even if it means visiting just one new place.

Fun food add-ins: Try that new restaurant in your neighborhood, or try making that favorite dish at your favorite restaurant at home — you may end up unlocking that inner master chef and feel inspired to be more adventurous in the kitchen.

Mood-boosting media: Start your day with a joyful playlist, or make time to screen feel-good movies with your family or best friends once a month.

Digital detox: Give yourself a set amount of time every day to leave your phone / laptop / tablet in another room and walk away. Maybe combine this with a nature adventure outside!

Again, your list of resolutions doesn't have to be extensive. Vogue simply recommends you approach making it like Bill Murray from "What About Bob": take baby steps.

Self-improvement and self-acceptance can often feel diabolically opposed. Here, experts weigh in on how to make New Year’s resolutions that stick.
