TMS therapy covered by most insurance — we verify your benefits before your first visit.
Verify My InsuranceYou’ve tried antidepressants. The next option isn’t another pill.
Deep TMS uses magnetic pulses — the same technology as an MRI — to reach the brain regions medication couldn’t. No drugs, no sedation, no downtime. Twenty minutes a day, then back to work. Most patients notice a change within 2–4 weeks.
Next available consultations this week. Booking takes about two minutes.

What a session feels like
Twenty minutes in a chair, then you drive yourself home.
No anesthesia, no seizures, no memory loss. You stay awake and alert the whole time — most patients read or listen to music.
Mapping, once
A psychiatrist locates your treatment target and sets the dose. This happens at your first visit.
Daily sessions, 20 minutes
You sit upright; a cushioned coil rests against your head. It feels like a tapping on the scalp.
Weekly review
Your psychiatrist tracks your scores and adjusts your protocol — and how long your course runs — to how you respond.

Most people who reach this page qualify. Insurance covers TMS for depression in the majority of plans we verify, and no referral is needed.
Likely a candidate
Your answers match the patients we treat every day.
The next step is a consultation with a board-certified psychiatrist, who confirms the fit and verifies your benefits at no cost.
Worth a conversation
TMS may not be the first thing we recommend — but something else might be.
We also offer medication management with genetic testing, in person or by telehealth. A consultation costs you nothing to book.
Before you book
The six things patients ask us first
Will insurance cover this?
Most major plans cover TMS for depression, and we verify your benefits at no cost before your first visit. You will know your out-of-pocket number before you commit to a course — no referral needed.
Is it safe? What are the side effects?
TMS is non-invasive and FDA-cleared. There is no anesthesia, no sedation and no effect on memory. The most common side effect is scalp discomfort or a mild headache in the first week, which usually fades.
What does a session actually feel like?
You sit upright in a chair, awake, while a cushioned coil rests against your head. Most patients describe a tapping sensation on the scalp. You can read or listen to music, and you drive yourself home afterward.
Can I fit treatment around work?
Sessions are 20 minutes, weekdays, and we are in West LA near the 405 and 10 — most patients book before work or over lunch. No recovery time is needed afterward.
Does it last, or will I relapse?
Improvement often holds for months after a course, and maintenance sessions are available if symptoms return. Your psychiatrist tracks your scores throughout and plans for what comes after treatment.
What does the evidence actually say?
Published clinical studies report up to 83% of patients may experience improvement.† We have completed more than 3,000 TMS courses since 2018 using Brainsway Deep TMS, the most advanced deep TMS system available in California.
