Deep TMS Therapy

in Newport Beach & San Juan Capistrano, CA

An advanced, FDA-cleared treatment for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD—without the systemic side effects of medication.

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) utilizing the BrainsWay H-Coil technology is a non-invasive, outpatient therapy. It works by sending safe, targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate neurons in specific brain regions associated with mood control and obsessive-compulsive behaviors.

Unlike systemic treatments like medication, Deep TMS targets only the brain circuits that need healing, drastically reducing the risk of uncomfortable bodily side effects. Our clinic provides precise, customized Deep TMS mapping to ensure maximum therapeutic benefit.

Before and After Brain Effects of Deep TMS

PET scan images illustrate differences in brain activity patterns associated with depression and related conditions, with certain regions showing reduced activity before treatment.

After a course of Deep TMS, the scan depicts more balanced activity in mood-related brain networks, reflecting improved neural functioning.

*While individual results vary and PET scans are not used to guide routine clinical care, these visuals help explain how Deep TMS can modulate brain circuits involved in mood regulation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Deep TMS Therapy hurt?

Deep TMS is generally quite well-tolerated and is strictly non-invasive. Most patients describe the feeling of the magnetic pulses as a mild tapping sensation on the scalp. Scalp discomfort or mild headaches may occur initially, but typically subside completely after the first week of sessions as you habituate.

Can I drive after my session?

Yes, absolutely! Because Deep TMS therapy doesn’t require anesthesia or sedation of any kind, it has zero impact on your cognitive alertness. You can safely drive to and from your appointments and seamlessly return to work or normal activities immediately afterward.

Will my insurance cover Deep TMS?

Most commercial insurance carriers and Medicare provide robust coverage for Deep TMS as a treatment for Major Depressive Disorder when medical necessity criteria are met (typically, having tried and failed 2 to 4 different oral antidepressants and having engaged in psychotherapy). Our dedicated clinic team will perform a full benefits verification for you.

How is Deep TMS (BrainsWay) different?

Deep TMS utilizes a patented helmet structure known as the H-Coil. This advanced technology safely propagates magnetic fields significantly deeper and broader within the brain’s cortical networks compared to older, traditional figure-8 coils. This allows us to target difficult-to-reach structures, driving powerful outcomes for OCD and severe depression.
