Have you been feeling anxious? Is it hard to focus and get work done?
Would you like to increase your focus, productivity and your cognitive function?
If you answered yes to any of the questions yes, TMS might be your solution!
Why Brain Stimulation?
For many, medication and therapy don’t provide the relief they need. That’s because the root of your struggle may be a misfiring brain.
Depression is a brain chemistry imbalance as well as a brain circuit disorder.
There are two systems that dictate your thoughts, moods and behaviors.
We are quick to tackle our brain chemistry with prescription medications, we write prescriptions after prescriptions which alters chemistry but we fail to recognize that there is another system at play, which is electricity.
The reason why you are not getting better on the anti-depressants is because chemical solutions can’t always fix electrical problems. We need electricity to fix electrical problems. We know that electricity is a very powerful intervention for depression but because ECT has been around for a century and nothing beats it to this day. Just like we have to charge our phones with electricity, sometimes we need to charge our brains.
What Is TMS?
TMS stands for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation. This unique non-surgical, non-invasive, and non-pharmacological therapy uses powerful, focused magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain. These pulses are delivered through a simple helmet. ; No surgery, no anesthesia, no electric current, and no systemic side effects.
TMS differs from electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) because it doesn’t cause seizures or memory loss. It also avoids risks and side effects linked to conventional antidepressants, like gastrointestinal problems, weight gain, and sexual dysfunction.
TMS has been used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide since its FDA approval in 2008. Developed in 1995 and backed by extensive research from leading institutions including Stanford, Harvard, and Oxford Universities, TMS is now recognized as a safe, effective, and scientifically grounded treatment for a wide range of mental health and neurological conditions.
How Does TMS Work?
TMS works by activating brain circuits that regulate mood, behavior, and emotional responses. Over time, this helps patients regain control over their thoughts and emotions, reducing the impact of stress and daily challenges.
Your Path to a Calmer, Clearer Mind.
At SeeBeyond Medicine, we offer DEEP Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — an FDA-approved, non-invasive, drug-free treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific brain regions involved in mood regulation, cognition, and emotional control.
Let’s learn about three specific brain networks.
1. The Central Executive Network (CEN), the brain’s “commander-in-chief”
The dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex is responsible for your focus, planning and problem-solving, it allows you to make decisions and drive towards your goals.
In depression, the CEN is underactive, leading to mental fog, poor concentration, making you indecisive and feeling stuck.
TMS helps to “turn up the volume” on the executive function network. By targeting and stimulating the key area, you can regain the motivation to engage with life again!
2. The Default Mode Network (DMN), the brain’s “rumination factory”
The deeper r medial and parietal area of the brain controls your internal thoughts, memories and self-reflection. While it’s healthy to engage in introspection, DMN in a depressed brain can become a trap of negative thinking.
In depression and OCD, this deeper part of the brain becomes overactive and poorly connected to the brain’s commander-in-chief. This traps you in a cycle of endless rumination, where you relive negative memories and worry excessively about yourself.
TMS works to calm the endless stream of negative thoughts by dampening the overactivity of the DMN. TMS helps you to break free from your own uncontrollable thoughts.
3. The Salience Network (SN), the brain’s emotional switch board.
The SN is a diffuse interconnected area of the brain which acts as a central hub, managing how your brain switches between the CEN and DMN. It detects important internal and external signals helping you determine what to pay attention to.
In conditions like Anxiety, an overactive SN can make minor problems seem like major threats, causing excessive, arousal (flight or flight. TMS can help calm the SN down so it doesn’t overreact.
In conditions like addiction, TMS can reduce abnormally placed high priority on c), cravings (food, smoking, alcohol, addiction), helping you regain control over your impulses.
TMS strengthens the connection within in the brain’s team work by restoring the normal communication , therefore reducing and emotional reactivity and making it easier for the person to manage their impulses and cravings

What Can I Expect During My Session?
During a session, you sit in a comfortable chair while a helmet with a magnetic coil is placed gently on your head. The device delivers focused magnetic pulses as powerful as an MRI scanner but precisely targeted into specific brain regions that are underactive in depression and other conditions.
Each pulse activates neurons in the targeted area, helping to strengthen neural circuits involved in mood regulation. Over time, like exercise strengthens muscles, repeated stimulation helps build resilience in brain circuits, leading to improved emotional balance and mental clarity.
Sessions last 5 to 12 minutes, and each session is painless and requires no recovery time. You remain fully awake and alert throughout; you’ll hear a soft tapping or clicking sound and may feel a gentle tapping sensation on your forehead.
TMS is safe for patients aged 12 and older.
Speed and Efficacy: Faster and Longer Lasting Results Than Traditional Treatments
One of TMS’s greatest advantages is how quickly it can produce results:
- Antidepressants can take 3 to 6 weeks to show improvement.
- TMS begins to work within days or weeks — many patients report noticeable changes in mood and energy within the first 1–2 weeks.
- In patients who have not responded to two or three different antidepressants, the response rate to TMS can reach up to 70%, compared to just 15% with the next antidepressant.
- TMS can be done at the same day as Ketamine IV infusion.
- We can try to use TMS to taper you off the anti-depressant or You can stay on your anti-depressant while doing your TMS treatment.
📊 Key Statistics:
- Over 264 million people globally live with depression or anxiety — making mental health a widespread concern.
- 91% of patients respond to TMS treatment, showing high clinical efficacy.
- TMS has been FDA-approved for over 15 years — a testament to its safety and effectiveness.
Standard vs. Accelerated SWIFT (™) TMS: A Faster, More Convenient Option
While traditional TMS therapy typically spans 6–8 weeks with daily sessions, Accelerated TMS delivers comparable or superior outcomes in a significantly shorter time — often in just one day.
Benefits of Accelerated TMS:
- Efficiency – Completed in a single day, reducing scheduling burden
- Rapid Relief – Patients often experience symptom reduction within days
- Intensive Focus – A concentrated, high-intensity treatment improves therapeutic outcomes
- Better Patient Engagement – Shorter duration increases compliance and motivation
- Reduced Disruption – Return to work, school, or family life quickly
- Enhanced Quality of Life – Faster symptom relief leads to improved emotional well-being
This makes Accelerated TMS an ideal choice for patients seeking quick, effective relief without long-term commitment or lifestyle disruption.
Safety & Side Effects
TMS is considered a very safe and well-tolerated treatment with minimal side effects:
- Common (usually temporary):
- Mild scalp discomfort or tingling
- Headache (occurs in under 5% of patients and typically resolves within a few sessions)
- Facial twitching (rare)
- Rare (extremely uncommon):
- Seizures (extremely rare with modern protocols and strict screening)
❌ No systemic side effects — unlike antidepressants, TMS has no impact on digestion, sexual function, cognition, or metabolism.
❌ No allergic reactions — no ingestion of chemicals or drugs.
Contraindications:
TMS is not recommended for patients with metal implants (e.g., aneurysm clips, pacemakers, stents), or during pregnancy. A full medical screening is required before treatment begins.

The SeeBeyond Difference: Functional Medicine Meets Brain Stimulation
At SeeBeyond Medicine, we optimize your brain, not just treat it. Unlike typical TMS clinics that only use magnetic stimulation, our functional medicine approach considers your whole brain health, offering the most thorough depression and anxiety treatment.
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol includes four unique components:
Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment)
We measure your brain chemistry before and after TMS therapy to track real, measurable changes in neurotransmitter levels including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine. Research shows that TMS influences neurotransmitter precursor amino acids like phenylalanine and tyrosine, which are essential for producing mood-regulating brain chemicals.
Calm IV Therapy
To enhance your TMS sessions, we offer specialized intravenous therapy formulated with magnesium and B vitamins: nutrients clinically proven to reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and support neurotransmitter production. IV delivery bypasses the digestive system for immediate absorption, providing calming effects that complement the neural reset happening during TMS. Many patients report feeling more relaxed during treatment sessions and experience faster symptom relief when combining TMS with targeted nutrient support.
Acupuncture Sessions
Studies demonstrate that acupuncture combined with TMS significantly enhances clinical outcomes compared to TMS alone. This combination therapy has been shown to improve depression scores, enhance cognitive function, reduce inflammatory markers, and increase levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—a protein essential for brain plasticity and healing. Acupuncture also helps reduce stress and anxiety, creating an optimal healing environment for your nervous system.
Health Coach Brain Health Sessions
Your journey includes personalized sessions with our health coach, who will guide you through evidence-based nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and targeted supplementation designed to optimize brain function. These sessions address sleep hygiene, stress management, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and cognitive support strategies: all factors that directly influence your treatment outcomes and long-term mental wellness.
Why This Integrative Approach Works
Research consistently shows that combining TMS with complementary therapies produces significantly better outcomes than TMS alone. When medications, brain stimulation, and lifestyle interventions work together, patients experience remission rates up to 75% higher than single-treatment approaches. Our functional medicine model doesn’t just stimulate your brain, it creates the optimal biochemical environment for lasting neural change.
