You've Tried to Feel Better.

TMS is one option your provider may recommend exploring.
At Sierra Behavioral Health, our first step is not treatment. It is a conversation.
We take the time to understand your history, answer your questions, and determine whether a formal TMS evaluation makes sense for you.

Understanding TMS
What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, commonly called TMS, is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Treatment is performed in the office while you remain awake.
TMS does not require surgery or anesthesia, and patients can generally return to normal daily activities after a treatment session.
TMS is not appropriate for everyone. A qualified medical professional must evaluate your medical and treatment history before recommending therapy.
