TMS Therapy in Westchase, TX: FDA-Approved, Non-Invasive Treatment for Depression and OCD

Your journey begins with a no-cost, confidential phone consultation. This isn’t a sales pitch but a genuine conversation where we explore whether TMS therapy is right for you.

During your consultation, you’ll:

• Ask all your questions about TMS therapy
• Share your treatment history and current challenges
• Learn what TMS therapy involves
• Get to know our team in a pressure-free environment
• Receive honest guidance on whether this treatment fits your needs

There’s absolutely no charge and no obligation to continue.

TMS therapy is covered by most major insurance plans for qualifying patients. Because it’s FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and OCD, many insurers cover it after documenting previous treatment failures.

Our team handles the process:

• We verify your insurance benefits
• We submit prior authorization requests on your behalf
• We document your treatment history for insurance requirements
• We explain any out-of-pocket costs before you commit to treatment

You’ll also complete a comprehensive evaluation to ensure TMS is appropriate for your specific situation and to customize your treatment protocol.

Before your first full treatment, we’ll perform motor threshold mapping. This quick process determines the optimal stimulation intensity for your brain by finding the minimum power needed to make your thumb twitch when we stimulate your motor cortex. This personalized calibration ensures your treatment is both safe and effective.

TMS treatment is straightforward and comfortable. You’ll sit in a reclined chair while a magnetic coil is positioned against your head. There’s no anesthesia, no sedation, and no recovery time needed.

What to expect during treatment:

• You remain fully awake and alert throughout
• You’ll feel a tapping or clicking sensation on your scalp
• Sessions last 3-37 minutes depending on your protocol
• You can read, watch videos, or simply relax
• Most patients find the sensation easy to tolerate after the first few sessions

Treatment schedule:

• Standard protocol: 5 sessions per week for 4-6 weeks (approximately 36 sessions total)
• Express protocol (theta burst): Same schedule with 3-minute sessions
• Total treatment course typically spans 6-9 weeks including the taper period

Throughout your treatment, our team monitors your progress and adjusts as needed to optimize your results.

Unlike ketamine or Spravato, TMS has no recovery period. You can drive yourself to and from appointments and return to all normal activities immediately after each session.

What makes TMS convenient:

• No transportation arrangements needed
• No time off work required beyond your appointment
• No cognitive impairment or “foggy” feeling
• No dietary restrictions
• Continue all normal medications

We’ll check in regularly to assess your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Most patients begin noticing improvements within 2-4 weeks, with continued improvement throughout the full course. After completing your initial treatment series, effects can last months to over a year.

After completing treatment:

• Many patients maintain improvement for 12+ months
• If symptoms return, TMS can be repeated (often covered by insurance)
• Some patients benefit from periodic maintenance sessions
• We’ll help you develop a plan for sustained wellness

Since everyone’s condition is unique, we personalize your ongoing care to match your needs.
