Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses focused magnetic pulses to directly stimulate the areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It does not require surgery, anesthesia, or sedation, and sessions are provided in a clinical setting by trained professionals.
The mechanism is straightforward: depression and PTSD are associated with reduced activity in specific neural circuits. TMS targets those circuits, promoting neuroplasticity which is the brain's capacity to rewire itself. Your brain is built to change. TMS accelerates that process.
NON-INVASIVE
No surgery. No anesthesia. No recovery time. Patients drive themselves to and from appointments and return to their day immediately after.
FDA-CLEARED
TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, OCD, and anxious depression. For PTSD, the evidence base is strong and growing — clinical support continues to accumulate.
MEDICATION-FREE
TMS does not require you to start, stop, or adjust any antidepressant medications. It works independently of your existing treatment plan.
ACCELERATED TREATMENTS
Optimal TMS offers accelerated treatment, completed in a single day. Treatment can fit around your life — not the other way around.

NEUROSCIENCE
TMS coil placement is protocol-specific, targeting the circuits most involved in each condition.
PREFRONTAL CORTEX
Primary target for depression (left hemisphere) and anxiety (right hemisphere). Responsible for executive function and emotional regulation.
PRECUNEUS
Primary target for post-traumatic stress treatment. Responsible for emotional processing of memory.
THE INITIATIVE
PTSD and depression affect every dimension of life: sleep, focus, relationships, and the ability to feel like yourself. When medication and therapy haven't moved the needle, it can feel like there are no options left.
TMS works differently than other treatments. Instead of system-wide medications or therapies focused on thought patterns and behavior, TMS rebuilds connections in your brain to help you feel more like yourself again.
Newer accelerated protocols, which compress treatment into days rather than months, are showing remarkable results. But insurance coverage hasn't kept up. Most plans will only cover traditional TMS protocols first approved decades ago, leaving patients without access to approaches that may work faster and more effectively for them.
Optimal TMS created this awareness initiative to change that. By documenting real outcomes with real people, we're building the case that these treatments deserve broader recognition and coverage. And by removing the financial barrier for selected candidates, we're making sure that the cost of insurance red tape and bureaucracy doesn't fall on the patients who can least afford to wait.
Selected candidates receive partial or full coverage of their treatment cost, pending clinical evaluation. This is a clinical program with real oversight, real providers, and a genuine commitment to outcomes. Apply now – and help us in our goal of making this life-changing treatment available to everyone who needs it.
