For people who have not found relief from antidepressants, NeuroStar is a safe and proven depression treatment without the systemic side effects of medication. At Serene Mental Health Clinic, we offer NeuroStar TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), an innovative, FDA-cleared treatment that provides new hope for individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
NeuroStar TMS is a safe, effective treatment that targets depression at its source. Our TMS services include:
NeuroStar uses focused magnetic pulses (similar in strength to an MRI) to revitalize underactive areas of the brain involved in regulating mood. When these regions are underactive, depression can result. "Waking up" these regions can have a lasting effect on depression, making long-term remission from depression a reality for many people.
Treatment sessions are conducted in our comfortable office setting. You are awake during treatment, there are no negative effects on memory or sleep, and you can return to normal activities right away.
We develop a customized TMS treatment protocol based on your specific symptoms, medical history, and treatment goals. A typical NeuroStar treatment plan includes 36 sessions that each last around 20 minutes.
Regular assessment throughout your treatment course ensures optimal outcomes and allows for adjustments as needed. Completing the full NeuroStar treatment course gives the best chance for delivering long-lasting relief from depression.
We work closely with your other healthcare providers to ensure TMS treatment complements your overall mental health care plan.
NeuroStar TMS is FDA-cleared for the treatment of:
Medical treatments for depression are usually centered around antidepressants that rely on the systems in your body to deliver relief. NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments go right to the source of depression—your brain. There are specific areas in your brain that control mood. When synapses in those mood-regulating areas are underactive, connections are broken and depression can result. NeuroStar revitalizes those dormant synapses, "waking up" the brain to function as it was meant to.
Your initial TMS consultation will include:
You'll recline comfortably in the treatment chair. A curved magnetic coil will be positioned on your head.
You'll hear a clicking sound and feel a tapping sensation on your head as the NeuroStar coil focuses treatment precisely at the source of the depression: the brain. The patented Contact Sensing technology ensures the prescribed dose is delivered, every treatment, every pulse.
With NeuroStar TMS you are fully awake and alert during treatment and may drive home and resume daily activities immediately afterwards. Depending on your doctor's recommendation, a typical NeuroStar treatment plan includes 36 sessions that each last around 20 minutes.
Over 5.6 million NeuroStar Advanced TMS treatments have been performed in over 156,000 patients. Clinical studies and real-world outcomes demonstrate:
NeuroStar is not a drug, "shock" therapy, or surgery. Many patients experience side effects from their medication, increasing the chance that they will stop taking them. The most common side effect with NeuroStar is mild to moderate pain or discomfort at the treatment site. For most patients this subsides within the first week of treatment.
Most major insurances cover NeuroStar TMS, including Medicare plans nationwide. Over 300 million people have insurance plans that cover NeuroStar. We will verify your specific coverage and discuss any out-of-pocket costs.
NeuroStar TMS is a non-drug, noninvasive treatment that uses focused magnetic fields to revitalize underactive areas of the brain to improve symptoms of depression. NeuroStar is a safe, effective depression treatment for people who have not found relief from antidepressants.

No. TMS Therapy involves a unique method of using pulsed magnetic fields for a therapeutic benefit. The intensity of the magnetic field is similar to that of an MRI. These techniques differ radically from the popular use of low intensity, static magnetic fields. Those products deliver weak and undirected static fields that are not capable of activating brain cells. The activation and stimulation of brain cells is a key part of why TMS is so effective.
