📢 Exciting News for our Evernorth & Cigna Patients!
We have great news regarding access to Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. Starting March 6, 2026, Evernorth is removing the prior authorization requirement for TMS treatments!

As a contracted provider with Evernorth, we are thrilled that this change will make it faster and easier for our patients to begin their journey toward mental wellness without the delay of traditional insurance approvals.

What this means for you:

Faster Starts: No more waiting for "green lights" from insurance if you have Evernorth or Cigna Healthcare coverage.

Streamlined Care: We can focus entirely on your treatment plan from day one.

Expert Support: Our team is here to help you verify your specific plan benefits and eligibility.

TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for depression and other mental health conditions. If you’ve been considering TMS, there has never been a better time to reach out.

✨ Are you ready to take the next step? Contact us today to schedule a consultation and see how these new changes benefit your care!

I recently shared a post in a local mental health professional group about a brief educational Zoom session I’m hosting on treatment-resistant depression, including general discussion of where options like TMS and esketamine may fit.

This session is intended for mental health professionals and referring providers and is not designed for patients or family members seeking treatment advice.

If you are a provider and would like to join the professional group or receive the Zoom registration link, please send us a direct message, and we’re happy to share more information.

Chase the Light ☀️ Light therapy is one of the most effective treatments for SAD. Sitting in front of a specialized "light box" (10,000 lux) for 20–30 minutes typically within the first hour of waking up can mimic natural sunlight and trigger chemical changes in the brain that lift your mood.

Tip: Even on cloudy days, try to get outside for a 10-minute walk before noon.Feeling the "Winter Blues" or something more? ❄️💙 Body: As the days get shorter, it’s normal to feel a little slower. But if you’re feeling weighed down, hopeless, or just want to hibernate until April, it might be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). We wrote a new blog on how to spot the signs and 5 simple things you can do today to feel better.
