Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation
Introducing EXOMIND®
Strengthen Your Mind
I am pleased to offer transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) treatment in my practice. TMS is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells and has been used for the treatment of depression for over 40 years. Traditionally, TMS is used when patient has failed multiple medications for depression for at least a year and involves a protocol that requires over 30 sessions.
Now, there are TMS machines that utilize stronger magnets, such as the Exomind TMS machine at my office and additional protocols that require less sessions that utilize more frequent electrical pulses. We utilize the Exomind TMS system, which supports these newer protocols and allows for a shorter and more time-efficient treatment course in comparison to traditional approaches. This provides an opportunity to utilize TMS as first-line treatment, either before or alongside medication and/or psychotherapy.

What is EXOMIND?
EXOMIND is a non-invasive neuromodulation therapy designed to support cognitive performance, emotional regulation, and overall brain function. By targeting key neural networks, it helps optimize how the brain processes, adapts, and performs.
EXOMIND utilizes targeted neuromodulation to influence neural circuits involved in executive function, mood regulation, and cognitive processing.
This approach is designed to support
- Cognitive clarity and information processing
- Emotional regulation and stability
- Executive function and attention
- Neural resilience to stress
Frequently asked questions
Exomind uses patented ExoTMS technology. Gentle magnetic pulses stimulate brain regions responsible for mood, decision-making, and self-control. This process strengthens healthy neural pathways and supports long- term brain health.
Which conditions can it help?
Exomind is FDA-cleared for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). Many patients also report benefits for anxiety, PTSD, brain fog, OCD, binge eating, compulsive behaviors, and emotional dysregulation.
Does it hurt?
Not at all. Most patients describe it as a light tapping or tingling sensation on the scalp. Sessions are comfortable and require no anesthesia.
How long does the treatment take?
Each session lasts 18-25 minutes, performed several times per week. A typical plan includes 6 treatments over 3-6 weeks.
When do I see results?
Some patients notice improvements in clarity, mood, and energy after just a few sessions. Clinical studies show significant symptom reduction within 4 weeks, with lasting improvements up to 12 months.
