Depression Therapy At My TMS
My TMS specializes in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). This specialized non-invasive treatment has FDA-approval and is designed specifically for individuals grappling with treatment-resistant depression.
Did You Know?
More than 16 million Americans suffer from major depressive disorder (MDD), and this number is rapidly increasing over time. However, cutting-edge treatments like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy are offering new hope.
TMS Therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells, improving depression symptoms – particularly when other treatments have fallen short.
You might feel like you’re out of options if your medications aren’t helping reduce symptoms of depression, but you’re not. TMS therapy can be the best solution for treatment-resistant depression.
What Is TMS?
TMS therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain, benefiting individuals with treatment-resistant depression (TRD).

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, safe, and effective procedure for depression that is used when other treatments, such as medication and psychotherapy, aren’t successful. This FDA-approved treatment for depression uses magnetic fields to stimulate the area of the brain thought to be responsible for mood disorders.
This area, which is called the prefrontal cortex, tends to be underactive when someone is experiencing depressive episodes. By delivering focused magnetic pulses to the prefrontal cortex, TMS can help generate an electric current in the brain and cause the area’s neurons to begin firing. Stimulating this area can restore normal function, reducing symptoms and improving emotional judgment and mood.
TMS is clinically proven to be effective, and it does not produce the systemic side effects that are common with other therapies like antidepressants and electroconvulsive therapy (ECT). Also, unlike ECT, patients will remain awake throughout the entire TMS treatment.

Our Services
There are two types of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation: Deep TMS and Repetitive TMS. My TMS offers both! While they each stimulate the brain’s prefrontal cortex (the area associated with depression) equally, there are slight administration differences between them.
Both types of TMS are effective and covered by most insurances! The choice is simply based on patient preference!
MagStim Repetitive TMS (rTMS)
Location: Miami, Hollywood, Oakland Park and Boca Raton, Florida
Repetitive TMS (rTMS) is the original form of TMS treatment and remains a gold standard for depression care. Magstim’s rTMS machine uses a state-of-the-art stim-guide to visualize the brain’s target area on a computer screen before administering impulses. This machine can conduct 3-minute treatment sessions for people who are on-the-go and appreciate the interactive technology!
SPRAVATO®
Location: Miami and Oakland Park, Florida
My TMS also offers SPRAVATO, a prescription medication for Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD) and Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) with Suicidal Ideation.
SPRAVATO® is the first prescription nasal spray, taken with an oral antidepressant, for:
Adults with treatment-resistant depression
Depressive symptoms in adults with major depressive disorder with suicidal thoughts or actions
What to Expect From TMS Treatment for Depression
TMS depression treatment is available in South and Central Florida by prescription only. Under the supervision of a board-certified psychiatrist, you’ll receive 30-36 consecutive sessions that can be up to 20 minutes in length.
During this time, you’ll be able to sit comfortably while the TMS device delivers its magnetic pulses. Since you’ll be alert and awake, you’ll be able to read, listen to music, watch TV or just relax during each treatment.
The entire treatment is noninvasive and pain-free. You can expect to hear a clicking sound and feel a gentle tapping sensation on your scalp while the cycle is in progress.
Then, once your TMS treatment is complete, you’ll be able to go back to your usual routine and activities.
