SeeBeyond Medicine provides an advanced, non-pharmacological approach to PTSD treatment. We address the underlying electrical circuits of trauma to alleviate intrusive memories, hypervigilance, and the constant state of arousal. This approach is designed for individuals who feel trapped by their PTSD and have found conventional treatments ineffective.
The PTSD Struggle: When You’ve Tried Everything
Living with PTSD can feel like your nervous system is permanently stuck in high alert. Have you been struggling with:
- Reliving traumatic events through flashbacks or nightmares?
- A constant feeling of being “on edge,” jumpy, or irritable?
- Feeling emotionally numb, detached, or unable to connect with loved ones?
- Overwhelming anxiety that makes everyday situations feel threatening?
- Avoiding people, places, or thoughts that remind you of the trauma?
If you’ve tried medications, you may have found they only blunt the edges, leaving you feeling numb without resolving the underlying panic. This is because many mental health conditions, especially PTSD, are not just chemical imbalances—they are brain circuit disorders.
You are not broken, and healing is possible. The reason you may feel stuck is that chemical solutions like antidepressants can’t always fix electrical problems. To heal a brain circuit trapped in a trauma loop, we must use a tool that can communicate with that circuit.
What is TMS Therapy for PTSD?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a breakthrough, non-invasive therapy that uses focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate and “reset” specific areas of the brain. It is a non-surgical, non-drug treatment that works by activating the precise brain circuits that regulate mood, emotional responses, and memory.
For those with PTSD, the brain is often locked in a state of overdrive in two key networks:
- The Salience Network (SN): This is your brain’s “emotional switchboard”. In PTSD, this network becomes overactive, acting like a faulty alarm system. It tags neutral, everyday events as major threats, triggering the “fight or flight” response (excessive arousal) and locking you in a state of hypervigilance.
- The Default Mode Network (DMN): This is your brain’s “rumination factory,” responsible for self-reflection and memory. In PTSD, the DMN can become overactive and poorly connected, trapping you in a cycle of reliving negative memories and intrusive thoughts.
TMS therapy works by delivering targeted magnetic pulses that help calm the overactivity of both the Salience Network and the Default Mode Network. This helps to quiet the brain’s constant alarm system and break the cycle of rumination, allowing you to regain control over your thoughts and emotions.
The SeeBeyond Difference: Why Our PTSD Program is Different
Standard TMS clinics may offer the technology, but they often treat it as a standalone procedure. At SeeBeyond Medicine, we know that true, lasting healing requires a “whole you” approach. Our philosophy is simple: At SeeBeyond Medicine, we optimize your brain, not just treat it.
We have developed an Enhanced TMS Protocol that combines advanced brain stimulation with functional medicine to create the optimal biochemical environment for neural change. This comprehensive, physician-led program is designed to address the root causes of your symptoms from every angle.
Our unique protocol includes four key components:
- Neurotransmitter Testing (Pre & Post-Treatment): We don’t guess; we measure. We conduct advanced testing before and after your treatment to track real, measurable changes in your brain chemistry, including serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.
- Calm IV Therapy: To enhance your results, we provide specialized intravenous (IV) therapy formulated with magnesium and B vitamins. These nutrients are clinically proven to reduce anxiety, support neurotransmitter production, and promote a state of calm, complementing the neural reset happening during TMS.
- Acupuncture Sessions: Research shows that combining acupuncture with TMS significantly enhances clinical outcomes. Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation, decrease stress, and increase levels of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF)—a critical protein for brain healing and plasticity.
- Health Coach Brain Health Sessions: Your journey includes personalized guidance from our health coach on evidence-based nutrition, sleep hygiene, and stress management. This coaching provides you with the lifestyle tools to support your brain’s new, healthier pathways long after treatment ends.

Is TMS for PTSD Right for You?
Our Enhanced TMS Protocol is designed for individuals who are seeking a more effective, lasting solution for PTSD. You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You have been frustrated by the lack of results or significant side effects from antidepressants or other medications.
- You feel “stuck” in talk therapy, unable to process your trauma without becoming re-traumatized.
- You are looking for a scientifically-grounded, non-pharmacological treatment.
- You want a comprehensive program that addresses not just your brain circuits but also your biochemistry, nutrition, and lifestyle.
While TMS is FDA-approved for Major Depressive Disorder and Anxiety , its use for PTSD is considered an advanced, “off-label” protocol based on extensive and growing research. At SeeBeyond Medicine, we follow evidence-based protocols to provide this life-changing therapy safely and effectively.
