TMS & Brain Health is an innovative brain health center based in Los Angeles, California. We are proud to be the first clinic in Southern California to specialize in Express Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Ketamine infusion therapy, Spravato™ Esketamine nasal spray, and neurofeedback. These cutting-edge techniques are scientifically proven to help patients with Major Depressive Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Insomnia. We have seen success in many patients who had not experienced adequate relief with traditional treatment, or who were bothered by the side-effects of medications.
First, a new patient will meet with a member from our psychiatric team for a comprehensive consultation in which the patient's candidacy for treatments will be determined. We take time to assess and understand the unique needs of each patient in order to create a personalized treatment plan based on their specific symptoms, past experiences, and goals. We accept most insurance plans, and our administrative team makes the claim process easy, guiding new patients through every step of the process and helping to obtain any prior authorization on their behalf. To speak with a representative about your options, call our office today or request an appointment using our online scheduling tool and a TMS & Brain Health representative will reach out to you.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic pulses—similar to those of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine—to awaken parts of the brain that are underactive in people who suffer from depression. TMS is safe and clinically proven to improve the symptoms of depression in just 4 to 6 weeks. Unlike most TMS centers, we don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to TMS. We understand that every brain is different, so we personalize each treatment session for each person. We track all of our patient’s symptoms and change our parameters accordingly, so that each patient has a bespoke protocol that speaks directly to his or her brain. We have a 92.5% success rate with TMS therapy when treating people with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, OCD, PTSD, and/or ADHD.
Ketamine is a drug that has been studied in mental health for over 20 years, and has been FDA-approved as an anesthetic since 1970. The advantage of Ketamine is that the antidepressant effects are often extremely rapid and effective, exhibiting response rates of up to 70% in just two weeks. We have many options for Ketamine treatments: one is a newly approved Ketamine-based nasal spray called Spravato, which is made up of esketamine. We also offer a compounded ketamine nasal spray, which is custom made for each individual. Finally, we offer both ketamine infusions (IV ketamine) and intramuscular ketamine injections using a mindfulness based ketamine curriculum. Ketamine infusions are a well-researched therapeutic modality that involves safely administering intravenous Ketamine at a sub-anesthetic dosage for a period of about 40 minutes. Our Ketamine program consists of 6 infusions over 3 weeks in order to quickly give you your life back.
We accept most major insurance providers. If you do not see your insurance provider listed, please contact the office directly for confirmation your provider is accepted. If you are curious as to how much our treatment programs cost, or whether your insurance company will cover the treatment, please fill out the pre-approval form and contact us. Each insurance company has different requirements for determining the cost of TMS, and our staff is more than happy to guide you through that process.
