There's a different path — and it starts with understanding why you're struggling, not just masking the symptoms.

What Is TMS?

A Drug-Free Way to Treat Depression at Its Source.

TMS is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression — the kind that hasn't responded adequately to antidepressants. It targets the brain regions involved in mood regulation directly, without circulating through your bloodstream: no systemic side effects, no medication interactions, and relief that starts within weeks for many patients. Here's what a session looks like:

You sit comfortably

Settle into a relaxed treatment chair — fully awake, no anesthesia.

A magnetic coil is placed gently against your head

Positioned precisely over the brain's mood centers.

Magnetic pulses stimulate your brain's mood centers

For about 20 minutes — gentle, targeted, drug-free.

You drive home or back to work

No downtime — return to your normal day right away.

Honest Answers About TMS Therapy.

Yes. TMS is FDA-approved, non-invasive, and has been safely used to treat depression since 2008. Most patients experience no side effects beyond mild scalp discomfort that fades after the first few sessions.

Medication circulates through your entire body, which is why it can cause systemic side effects like weight gain, fatigue, or emotional blunting. TMS works differently — gentle magnetic pulses stimulate the specific brain regions involved in mood regulation, without entering your bloodstream. That means no drug interactions and no body-wide side effects.

Most major insurers — including Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, and Medicare — cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression. Our team verifies your specific benefits before your first session, and financing options are available if needed.

The most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort or a light tapping sensation at the treatment site, which usually fades after the first few sessions. Because TMS doesn't circulate through the body, it avoids the systemic side effects often associated with antidepressants. Your provider reviews everything with you before treatment begins.

Each session takes about 20 minutes, and a full course is typically 5 sessions per week over 6–8 weeks. Because there's no downtime, most patients fit appointments around work or daily routines and head straight back to their day afterward.

Most patients complete 30–36 sessions over 6–8 weeks, with many noticing improvement by week 3–4. Your exact plan is personalized by Dr. Khwaja based on your history and how you respond to treatment.

TMS is designed for adults whose depression hasn't responded adequately to medication. The best way to know if it's right for you is a consultation, where we review your history and goals and assess your candidacy as part of a whole-person care plan.

Most TMS clinics lead with the device. CIP leads with the physician and the philosophy. Care is directed by Dr. Tahir Khwaja, a triple board-certified psychiatrist, within an integrative, root-cause approach that combines evidence-based medicine with complementary therapies — so your TMS is one part of a personalized plan, not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
