TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain linked to mood regulation. It’s commonly used for depression that hasn’t responded well to medication or therapy. TMS doesn’t require anesthesia, and most patients return to normal activities right after each session.
Impact Minds provides TMS therapy in Scottsdale, Arizona. We use advanced technology in a modern facility. Our experienced team combines proven treatment protocols with personalized care, giving patients a trusted, effective path toward lasting relief.
TMS therapy uses a magnetic coil placed gently against the scalp. The coil sends focused magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain linked to mood regulation. These pulses stimulate nerve cells, helping to improve communication in brain circuits affected by depression.
Each session is non-invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia or sedation. You remain fully awake and alert throughout, able to read, relax, or talk with your provider. Most sessions last between 20 and 40 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after.
FDA-approved for depression that hasn't improved with medication or therapy alone.
Used after standard antidepressants have failed to provide relief.
FDA-cleared to reduce OCD symptoms in adults.

TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation, is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas linked to mood regulation. It’s commonly used for depression that hasn’t responded to medication.
TMS works by delivering magnetic pulses through the scalp to stimulate nerve cells in mood-related brain regions. This helps improve communication between brain areas, easing symptoms of depression over time..
Yes, TMS is FDA-approved and considered safe. It’s non-invasive and doesn’t require anesthesia. Common side effects are mild, like scalp discomfort or headache, which usually improve after the first few sessions.
Most TMS treatment plans involve 20 to 36 sessions, given five days a week over four to six weeks. Session needs vary based on individual response and treatment goals.
Yes, research shows TMS is effective for treatment-resistant depression. Many people experience significant symptom improvement, with some achieving full remission. Results vary, but TMS offers a non-medication option worth considering.
TMS uses magnetic pulses to directly stimulate brain areas linked to depression. Neurofeedback trains the brain through real-time feedback to self-regulate activity. TMS targets specific symptoms, while neurofeedback builds long-term brain regulation skills.
