Your first visit is focused on understanding you. Expect a one-on-one discussion with one of our TMS specialists, where we review your medical history, talk about your goals, and clarify any doubts you have.
A standard TMS course usually involves 5 sessions per week for 4–6 weeks, with each session lasting around 20-40 minutes.
It only takes a few days to get started with your treatment. Once your initial assessment and insurance authorization are complete, you are ready to begin.
Our team includes psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, and certified TMS technicians in Virginia who specialize in neurostimulation treatments.
A traditional psychiatry clinic offers broad services like medication management and talk therapy. A TMS therapy clinic, however, specializes in using non-invasive magnetic stimulation to improve brain function. These clinics serve patients who haven’t responded to medication alone.
Our clinic spaces are designed to feel calm, private, and inviting. From our quiet treatment rooms to warm interactions, Brain Bloom is dedicated to making you feel at ease. Don’t expect clinical and intimidating spaces.
We also offer psychiatric care services like medication management at our TMS therapy center.
TMS is covered by most insurance plans. At Brain Bloom Neurotherapy Center, for TMS, we accept United Behavioral Health, Tricare, and Aetna
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It is primarily used to treat depression, especially in patients who have not responded to other treatments. TMS therapy involves placing a magnetic coil near the scalp, which generates magnetic pulses that influence brain activity. This innovative approach offers a promising solution for individuals seeking alternatives to traditional antidepressant medications.
A typical TMS treatment course consists of approximately 36 sessions, usually spread over 6 to 7 weeks. Patients typically receive treatment 5 days a week, with each session lasting about 20 to 40 minutes. Many patients begin to notice improvements in their symptoms within the first few weeks of therapy, making TMS a time-efficient option for long-term mental health benefits.
We ask all patients to understand what their financial responsibility is for sessions PRIOR to their first appointment. You can learn this by calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card and asking if mental health therapy is a covered service, and what your responsibility is. The copay amount listed on your insurance card is not always correct, as it can be influenced by your deductible amount or whether coinsurance applies. Sometimes insurance will ask you about procedural codes to look up this information (also known as CPT codes), which are: 99205 initial intake, 99215 for a 55-minute session, 99214 for a 45-minute session, and 99212 for a 20-minute session.
Yes, TMS Therapy is an excellent alternative for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antidepressant medications. Many individuals experience adverse reactions to medications, such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or sleep disturbances. TMS therapy, on the other hand, is well-tolerated with minimal side effects, the most common being mild scalp discomfort or headache, which typically resolve quickly. This makes TMS a viable and appealing option for those seeking relief from depression without the burden of medication side effects.
TMS Therapy is distinct from other alternative therapies that use magnets. Unlike static magnets used in alternative treatments, TMS employs rapidly changing magnetic fields to create electrical currents in specific brain regions. This scientific approach directly influences brain activity and is backed by extensive clinical research demonstrating its effectiveness for treating depression. TMS is a medically approved and rigorously tested procedure, ensuring it stands apart from less scientifically validated magnetic therapies.
