If you have failed to treat depression with psychotherapy and antidepressant medications, you can find relief with TMS Therapy.
Depression Treatment without Medication
What Is TMS Therapy?
TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a therapeutic approach that utilizes brain stimulation to treat depression, anxiety, and other treatment-resistant neurological or mental health disorders. It has improved the lives of thousands.
TMS therapy works by sending electromagnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in mood-regulating areas of the brain. The process "wakes up" under-active parts of the brain and boosts the brain's ability to naturally regulate mood and emotions.
TMS therapy:
- Is an FDA-approved depression treatment
- Does NOT involve surgery
- Does NOT require anesthesia or sedation
- Is covered by most major insurance companies
- Is painless and non-invasive
- Is now offered at Loving Life Today
TMS Therapy for depression treatment is covered by many major insurance providers.
What Does TMS Treat?
TMS is most widely used as a therapy for major depression and treatment-resistant depression. But, TMS has many healing benefits.
TMS therapy can be used to treat:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

If you experience any of these symptoms, talk to our team to see if TMS could be the right solution for you.
