TMS Therapy in Coeur d’Alene: A Non-Medication Option for Depression and Anxiety

TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) is a non-medication, evidence-based treatment that can help some people with depression and anxiety—especially when symptoms persist despite therapy and medication trials.

How TMS works

TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted brain regions involved in mood regulation. Treatments are performed in-office and don’t require anesthesia.

Who may benefit

TMS is often considered for treatment-resistant depression and may also be used for certain anxiety and OCD presentations, depending on clinical evaluation.

What treatment feels like

Most people describe a tapping sensation on the scalp during sessions. You can typically return to normal activities right after.

Getting started

We begin with an evaluation to confirm whether TMS is appropriate and to design a personalized treatment plan.

Local care

We’re based in Coeur d’Alene and welcome patients from North Idaho and Eastern Washington, including Spokane and Spokane Valley.
