Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
FDA-Approved, Non-Invasive Treatment for Depression, Anxiety & OCD
What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Unlike medication, TMS works directly at the source by activating underactive brain regions associated with depression, anxiety, and OCD. Each session lasts approximately 20 minutes, and patients can return to their daily activities immediately afterward.
At Synapse Wellness, our TMS program is led by Dr. Ibrahim Alsherief, a Harvard-trained psychiatrist who was instrumental in launching the TMS program at Boston VA and brings over a decade of specialized TMS experience.
