We believe mental and emotional wellness requires a personalized and evidence-based path to healing. Our recovery center is dedicated to improving both mental and physical health through innovative treatment options.
What is TMS therapy
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared therapy and a non-invasive treatment. It uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, motivation, focus, and emotional balance.
In depression and in various other mood conditions, certain brain networks become underactive or dysregulated. This therapy helps reactivate these pathways and improve communication between regions of the brain. Unlike medication, it works directly on neural circuits without circulating through the bloodstream or affecting the entire body.
At Axios Medical Group, a TMS Seattle clinic, we provide personalized treatments to our patients depending on what metal health problems they struggle with. If you’re interested in this therapy, we invite you to book a consultation with us.

What conditions can be treated with TMS
Depression recovery
This therapy is commonly used to treat major depressive disorder, particularly when symptoms haven’t improved with antidepressants or psychotherapy. It helps reduce depressive symptoms such as low mood, fatigue, hopelessness, and loss of motivation.
OCD support
TMS may also help reduce intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, and symptom severity in some individuals. It’s effective for some with OCD who experience symptoms that have not responded sufficiently to therapy or appropriate medication.
Anxiety relief
TMS therapy may help improve anxiety symptoms in some patients. Many individuals with depression or other mood conditions also experience anxiety symptoms such as excessive worry, racing thoughts, physical tension, or heightened stress responses.
PTSD and cognitive wellness
This therapy is being studied and used in some clinical settings for trauma-related symptoms like hypervigilance, mental fatigue, and emotional reactivity. Use for PTSD or cognitive concerns depends on individual circumstances and provider assessment.
TMS - Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
TMS is an FDA approved therapy for treatment-resistant depression, OCD, and smoking cessation. It can also be used off label for Autism, ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, migraines, cognitive impairment and other mental health disorders. TMS therapy is free from typical side effects that may occur with medications such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue. You are awake and alert during the treatment and can return to activities throughout your day following treatment. TMS has shown no long-term negative effects and has even shown significant reduction in autism and improvements for those suffering from Parkinson's disease.

TMS therapy in Seattle
What to expect during treatment
Your TMS treatment begins with a detailed psychiatric consultation and candidacy assessment. If this therapy is recommended, our care team will create a personalized treatment plan based on your symptoms, mental health history, and clinical goals. A typical process includes an initial evaluation, brain mapping and treatment calibration, short outpatient sessions, and ongoing monitoring of progress.
The treatment can be adjusted if needed, depending on how patients respond to it. Most sessions are brief and comfortable. Because no sedation is used, patients are typically able to drive themselves to and from appointments.
For patients struggling with depression, OCD, anxiety-related symptoms, and other mood conditions, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Seattle can be an effective option. It may help restore function, improve symptoms, and enhance quality of life.
Frequently Asked Questions
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain through an electromagnetic coil placed against the scalp. Treatments are performed while you are awake and alert in a comfortable setting.
How does TMS work?
What are the side effects of TMS therapy?
The therapy is generally well tolerated, and most side effects are mild and temporary. The most common ones include scalp discomfort, mild headache, or temporary facial muscle twitching. Serious side effects are uncommon, and your provider will review your mental health history to determine whether TMS is appropriate for you.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments depends on your diagnosis, symptoms, and the treatment plan recommended by your provider. Many patients complete a series of treatments over several weeks, often with sessions scheduled multiple times per week. Individuals respond differently, with some noticing improvements early and others more gradually.
Who is not a good candidate for TMS?
Individuals with certain metal or electronic implants in or near the head are generally not good candidates for TMS therapy. It’s not appropriate for people with a history of certain seizure disorders or specific neurological or mental health conditions. It may also not be the first recommendation if another treatment would better address your current needs.
