What Depression Treatment is Right For You or Your Loved One?
Take this 30 Second Survey to see which Depression Treatment is the right one for you!
We are leaders in Interventional Treatments to treat Depression. We have offered Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) since 2011. TMS is a safe, effective, non-drug, FDA-cleared treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain, helping to better regulate mood in patients with depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and potentially other illnesses. Often, TMS is successful at helping treat depression in patients who have not been able to find relief through other methods (antidepressants and talk therapy). Learn more about all of our services and treatments including TMS, and find out if it is right for you. Scroll to the next section to learn about TMS in our office and watch our video series.
We have offered Spravato (Ketamine) since 2020, and have been seriously impressed at the results when treating Treatment-Resistant Depression. Ketamine is the first "psychedelic" cleared by the FDA for the treatment of Depression. Spravato is a version of Ketamine and is delivered as a nasal spray. It is offered in a doctor's office in a controlled and safe environment. Most importantly it is covered by insurance, and since any Ketamine requires ongoing treatments, our patients value using their insurance very much.

We also offer traditional therapy and medicine management. When you see one of our Doctors for a consultation, they will review all the options and help you determine which one is best for you.

We wrote the book
on TMS... literally.
Our team authored the first TMS-specific workbook to help patients battling depression. As pioneers in this area, we have studied outcomes and concluded that using the workbook, along with TMS treatment improves patient outcomes. Hundreds of physicians and technicians have registered for our program.
Learn more about TMS.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an engineering marvel shown to be an effective means to stimulate the brain non-invasively. In 2008, the FDA cleared it as a safe, effective, non-medication treatment for depression following decades of rigorous clinical testing. TMS has since been FDA-cleared for additional therapeutic uses, including treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and smoking cessation, with promise for even more indications in the near future.

How does TMS work?
For patients with depression, specific areas of the brain have been shown to be underactive, particularly those involved in mood regulation. TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate these areas, which improves the brain's ability to regulate mood.
Is TMS right for me?
At NeuroScience & TMS Treatment Centers, we offer no-cost consult with our clinical coordinator to help talk you through the options and determine if TMS might be a good fit. Additionally, you can also take our quick screening questionnaire anytime to find out if TMS could help you.
If you've tried other depression treatments like medication therapy without success, there is still hope. Many of our patients have tried several types of treatment methods before they finally find success with TMS.

We are the experts in TMS treatment.
As peer leaders in TMS, we recognize the importance of developing best practices as the benchmark for establishing outcomes-based guidelines and improving patient care. We also understand the significance of shared knowledge and we are passionate about educating our colleagues to benefit the TMS field. Our team is committed to helping our national and international colleagues with the practical application of TMS research. Our founder and CMO, Dr. Michelle Cochran, developed an educational course with the Clinical TMS Society (CTMSS) and serves as the Course Director. Because of her efforts on this course and other educational endeavors, she was awarded the CTMSS President’s Award. She has achieved the highest member honor bestowed by the American Psychiatric Association and the CTMSS, the Distinguished Lifetime Fellow, and Fellow of the Clinical TMS Society, respectively.
What are the stats
on TMS therapy?
Research reports clinical TMS for depression yields 60% response and 30% remission. Hovvever, in our office, we achieve much higher results. In fact, more than 70% of our patients reach remission from depression and more than 85% respond to treatment. We're able to optimize outcomes through the use of clinically-proven modalities, including combining TMS with cognitive behavioral therapy and behavioral activation techniques from the Train Your Brain Workbook.

Patient Preferred.
Dr. Cochran at The Neuroscience and TMS center has served as my psychiatric care physician for the past 5 years. I have made tremendous progress while seeing her. She is attentive, thorough, and professional. I refer her to everyone I know in need of psychiatric care because I trust her and her staff completely. I am very thankful to be a patient of the Neuroscience and TMS center.

This hands down is the BEST doctor’s office I've ever been to. Not just on a psychiatric level, but just a medical setting in general. I love Dr. Becker and I'm beyond grateful that I found him. He is very personable and just one of the easiest people to talk to. And the front desk is great too and that goes a long way! So yes, 5 stars! I recommend this to anyone who needs to find a good and relaxed environment for psychiatry.
