Innovative, Non-Invasive Mental Health Treatments Near Philadelphia

At Complete Mind Care of PA, we offer more than just industry-leading Deep TMS™ technology—we are partners in ensuring the success of our patients and the brain wellness of our community.

Deep TMS represents the most advanced form of transcranial magnetic stimulation available today. Using BrainsWay’s patented H-Coil technology, Deep TMS reaches deeper brain structures and activates a wider range of neural pathways than traditional TMS systems, offering enhanced effectiveness for treatment-resistant conditions.

We offer a personalized healthcare program to assist our team of professionals in offering a beacon of hope for those struggling with depression, OCD, and anxiety. Our clinical workflow is designed to create a pathway to success, tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Remission is our mission—and Deep TMS helps us get patients there when other treatments have fallen short.

What Makes Deep TMS Different?

Deep TMS uses advanced H-Coil technology that fundamentally differs from standard TMS systems. While traditional TMS uses figure-8 coils that stimulate surface-level brain regions, Deep TMS penetrates deeper into brain structures, reaching areas that standard TMS cannot effectively target.

This deeper reach means:

  • More comprehensive brain stimulation
  • Activation of a larger volume of neural tissue
  • Greater likelihood of reaching depression-related brain targets
  • Enhanced effectiveness without increased discomfort
  • Better outcomes for treatment-resistant conditions

Deep TMS has been approved by the FDA as an effective and secure treatment, revolutionizing the field of mental health care through this advanced H-Coil technology.

What Makes Deep TMS Different?

FDA-Approved Conditions We Treat with Deep TMS

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

Deep TMS™ has been approved by the FDA as an effective and secure treatment for major depressive disorder (MDD), particularly for patients who haven’t responded to antidepressant medications. Clinical studies demonstrate significant symptom reduction and high remission rates.

If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants without achieving lasting relief, Deep TMS offers a proven alternative that addresses depression at its neurological source.

Anxious Depression

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation has been approved by the FDA to be the first TMS system that is both safe and effective in reducing the symptoms of anxious depression—depression accompanied by significant anxiety, worry, and physical tension.

This dual approval is significant because anxious depression is often harder to treat than depression alone. Deep TMS targets the brain networks involved in both conditions simultaneously.

Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

Evidence has shown that Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a secure and successful approach for reducing the signs of obsessive-compulsive disorder, especially for individuals who have not seen the desired results from typical OCD therapies including medication and exposure-response prevention therapy.

Deep TMS targets the brain circuits involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors, offering relief when traditional treatments haven’t worked.

Deep TMS H-Coil vs. Standard Figure-8 Coil: Why Technology Matters

At Complete Mind Care of Pennsylvania, we employ BrainsWay’s Deep TMS technology, which is powered by their innovative H-Coil system. Unlike traditional figure-8 coils, the H-Coil is noninvasive and designed to activate a wider and deeper range of brain structures, allowing magnetic pulses to reach broader neural networks and penetrate deeper into brain tissue.
This expanded reach enables treatment to affect both surface regions and the deeper brain structures that play crucial roles in mood regulation and anxiety. The H-Coil’s ability to stimulate larger volumes of brain tissue may contribute to more comprehensive treatment effects, which is why we’ve chosen this advanced technology for our patients.

Better Activation

The electric field induced by H-Coils stimulates a larger volume of gray matter in the prefrontal cortex than do figure-8 coils. This broader field means more comprehensive treatment of depression-related brain regions. Standard figure-8 coils must increase intensity to reach deeper structures, which increases scalp discomfort. H-Coils achieve deeper penetration at comfortable intensity levels.

Reliable Targeting

The deeper and broader electric field induced by the H-Coil is much more likely to stimulate relevant prefrontal depression targets consistently than the figure-8 coil. Individual variations in brain anatomy mean that shallow, focused stimulation may miss critical targets—Deep TMS compensates for this variability. This reliability translates to more consistent outcomes across patients, regardless of individual anatomical differences.

Enhanced Comfort

Deep TMS reaches deeper brain structures without needing to increase magnetic field intensity to uncomfortable levels. The broader field distribution delivers effective stimulation of target brain regions with minimal scalp sensation. Most patients tolerate Deep TMS well, experiencing only mild and temporary scalp discomfort that typically decreases after the first few sessions as they become accustomed to the treatment.

What to Expect: Your Deep TMS Treatment Journey

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your Deep TMS journey begins with a thorough assessment by our team. We’ll review your diagnosis, treatment history, current symptoms, and medical conditions to determine if Deep TMS is appropriate. We’ll discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan.

Motor Threshold Determination

During your first treatment session, we determine your individual motor threshold—the magnetic field strength needed to activate your motor cortex. This ensures your treatment is calibrated precisely for your brain’s unique characteristics.

Treatment Protocol

Sessions: Approximately 20-30 minutes per session

Frequency: 5 sessions per week (Monday through Friday)

Duration: Typically 4-6 weeks of active treatment (20-30 total sessions)

Process: You remain awake and alert; no anesthesia or sedation

Sensation: Most patients describe a tapping feeling on the scalp

Activities: Read, listen to music, or relax during treatment

Recovery: None required—immediately return to normal activities

Timeline of Results

Some patients notice improvement within the first 1-2 weeks of treatment, while others don’t report noticeable changes until weeks 4-5. A patient’s timeline of symptom relief does not indicate whether the treatment is effective—full results typically emerge by treatment completion.

Ongoing Support

Throughout treatment, our team monitors your progress and adjusts protocols as needed. We coordinate with your therapist and prescriber if you’re receiving additional services, ensuring integrated care.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Deep TMS?

Deep TMS may be right for you if you:

  • Have major depressive disorder that hasn’t responded to 2+ antidepressant trials
  • Experience anxious depression with significant worry or physical anxiety symptoms
  • Have OCD not adequately controlled by medication or therapy
  • Cannot tolerate medication side effects
  • Want to reduce or eliminate psychiatric medications
  • Prefer noninvasive treatment without systemic side effects
  • Don’t have metal implants in your head, neck, or upper body
  • Don’t have a history of seizures

Schedule a consultation for a complete evaluation and determination of candidacy.

Deep TMS Combined with Other Treatments

Deep TMS + Medication Management

Combining Deep TMS with medication has actually been found to offer greater symptom relief than medication alone. However, you do not need to be on medication while being treated with Deep TMS. Your treatment team will recommend the optimal approach for your situation.

Deep TMS + Psychotherapy

Many patients benefit from continuing therapy during Deep TMS treatment. While Deep TMS addresses the neurological component of depression or OCD, therapy provides coping skills and addresses psychological factors contributing to symptoms.

Deep TMS + SPRAVATO®

For severe treatment-resistant depression, some patients benefit from combining Deep TMS with SPRAVATO® treatment. Our team can coordinate these advanced therapies when appropriate.
