What Is TMS Therapy

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain. These regions are often underactive in people experiencing depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and other conditions.

By reactivating these circuits, TMS helps restore healthy brain function—without medication or sedation. It’s FDA-cleared for cases where conventional treatments have not been effective and supported by decades of clinical research.

At Grace, every protocol is personalized using advanced brain mapping and delivered in-office by a certified care team.

What to Expect
During Treatment

TMS sessions are designed to be simple, private, and easy to fit into your routine. You’ll be seated comfortably while a small device delivers gentle pulses to targeted brain regions.
You remain awake and alert throughout the session, which lasts about 20 minutes. Most patients describe the sensation as a light tapping on the scalp.
There’s no sedation, no recovery time, and no disruption to your day. You can drive yourself home and continue with work or daily activities immediately after.

What Conditions TMS Treats

TMS therapy is used to address a range of psychiatric and neurological conditions by stimulating underactive areas of the brain involved in mood, cognition, and emotional regulation.

Depression

A clinical team led by a psychiatrist with deep inpatient and outpatient experience

Anxiety disorders

Such as generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and social anxiety.

Obsessive-Compulsive
Disorder (OCD)

When symptoms remain intrusive despite behavioral therapy or medication.

Post-Traumatic Stress
Disorder (PTSD)

As part of a broader care plan for chronic emotional dysregulation.

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

In select cases where executive function and emotional regulation are significantly impacted.

Emerging applications

Including tinnitus, chronic pain, and cognitive decline—based on ongoing clinical research.

How Long
Treatment Takes

Most patients receive TMS five days a week for approximately six weeks. Some may benefit from tapering sessions afterward, depending on their response

Standard protocol: 5 sessions per week

Total duration: approximately 6 weeks

Optional tapering sessions may follow

Your plan is personalized based on your symptoms and progress

Success Rates and Clinical Outcomes

TMS is backed by decades of research and used in leading psychiatric institutions across the U.S. Studies show:

70–80% of patients experience significant improvement

Results often begin within the first few
weeks

Many achieve full remission

Proven effective in cases where standard treatments have failed

Patient Results & Reviews

"A lift in my mood..."

“After years of battling treatment-resistant depression, I finally found relief with TMS. I was skeptical at first, but by the third week, I began noticing a lift in my mood and energy. It’s been life-changing. I finally feel like myself again.”

— D.H.

"Feel like myself again"

“Before TMS, I felt like I was stuck in this dark place I couldn’t get out of. Medications didn’t seem to help, and I was tired of feeling numb all the time. My parents found this clinic, and honestly, I didn’t think anything would work for me.

— S.W.

"Feel like I can breathe..."

“After serving in the military, I struggled with depression and PTSD for years. When I learned about TMS, I was skeptical, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. The treatments were painless, and over time, I noticed my mood lifting and the nightmares easing.

— P.G.

Side Effects and Safety

TMS is a well-tolerated, non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. Unlike medication, it doesn’t cause fatigue, weight gain, or emotional blunting. Most patients report only mild scalp discomfort or occasional headaches, which typically resolve quickly and don’t interfere with daily activities.

There’s no sedation, no recovery time, and no long-term complications—making TMS a safer, more targeted alternative for individuals seeking relief without systemic impact.

Cost of TMS Therapy

The cost of TMS therapy in the U.S. typically ranges from $150 to $300 per session when not covered by insurance, with a full course totaling between $3,000 and $12,000 depending on the provider, protocol, and location. Pricing is influenced by the number of sessions required, the patient’s clinical profile, and the technique used—such as theta burst stimulation, which may reduce overall cost at select clinics.

While the upfront investment can seem significant, many patients find it comparable to long-term medication or therapy, especially when insurance coverage offsets a substantial portion of the expense.

Major Insurances

To qualify, patients typically need a formal diagnosis and a history of unsuccessful medication trials. Grace’s team will verify your coverage, explain any out-of-pocket costs, and guide you through the approval process. We’re committed to making care accessible and transparent.
