Deep TMS Treatment at Braden Counseling Center in Byron
At Braden Counseling Center, we are dedicated to offering our patients the most innovative, effective, and non-invasive treatments for mental health.
One of the exciting new therapies we now offer is Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS), an FDA-cleared treatment that is helping individuals with conditions like Major Depressive Disorder, anxious depression, late-life depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and smoking addiction find relief without the need for medication.
What is Deep TMS?
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate specific regions of the brain responsible for mood regulation, behavior, and addiction. Unlike traditional treatments such as medications or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), Deep TMS is non-invasive, has minimal to no side effects, and requires no sedation.
It is an effective option for individuals who have not responded to other treatments or are looking for an alternative to prescription medication. With no drugs involved and no systemic side effects, it offers a safe and powerful way to help you regain control of your mental health.

How Does Deep TMS Work?
Deep TMS works by using magnetic pulses to stimulate specific parts of the brain. These pulses target the prefrontal cortex, the area involved in mood regulation, thought patterns, and decision-making. The magnetic stimulation helps to rebalance the brain’s neural activity, which can be disrupted in individuals suffering from conditions like depression and OCD.
The treatment is painless and non-invasive, typically taking 20-30 minutes per session. Most patients experience no significant side effects, and many resume their daily activities immediately after treatment. Treatment is generally administered in multiple sessions over several weeks for the best results.

Who Can Benefit from Deep TMS?
Deep TMS can be an ideal treatment option for individuals who:
- Are struggling with treatment-resistant depression or anxiety disorders and have not found relief through traditional methods like antidepressants or psychotherapy.
- Want to avoid the side effects associated with pharmaceutical treatments.
- Are seeking an alternative, non-invasive treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) or smoking addiction.
