Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive form of brain stimulation that directly targets brain structures associated with mental health conditions. At Complete Mind Care of PA, we offer TMS using both BrainsWay and Apollo technology.
BrainsWay delivers Deep TMS through a helmet-style system, while Apollo uses a figure-8 coil that can be positioned over more specific treatment targets. Our clinical team determines which device and protocol are appropriate based on the condition being addressed, the treatment target, comfort considerations, and insurance requirements.
TMS represents the nation’s leading option for medication-resistant depression and offers hope when traditional treatments haven’t worked.
Remission is our mission—and TMS helps us get patients there when medication and therapy alone haven’t been enough.
TMS may be right for you if you’re experiencing:
We also offer specialized TMS protocols for autism spectrum disorder, PTSD, dementia, cognitive enhancement, fibromyalgia, neuropathy, sleep disorders, tinnitus, traumatic brain injury, and post-stroke recovery. These services are offered specifically through TMS. These specialized protocols are self-pay because they are not covered by insurance. Payment options and CareCredit financing may be available.
During treatment, a magnetic coil is positioned against your scalp. The device delivers focused magnetic pulses that pass painlessly through the skull to reach targeted brain structures. These pulses activate neurons, stimulating the brain’s natural electrical activity and promoting healthier neural pathways.
Unlike medications that affect your entire body, TMS targets only the specific brain regions involved in your condition. This precision means no systemic side effects—just focused treatment where you need it most.
Treatment schedules and session lengths vary according to the protocol and the patient’s individual treatment plan.
Your progress is monitored throughout treatment. Our team tracks symptom changes and adjusts protocols as needed to ensure optimal outcomes.
TMS is the first FDA-approved treatment specifically for reducing symptoms of anxious depression—depression accompanied by significant anxiety symptoms.
At Complete Mind Care, the BrainsWay Deep TMS system is used for the anxious-depression protocol. BrainsWay offers a specific FDA-cleared anxious-depression protocol that may be covered by insurance when depression is the primary diagnosis.
We provide qEEG-guided TMS treatment for autism, using personalized brain mapping to target communication, social interaction, and behavioral symptoms. Our focus is on TMS treatment to support symptom management.
Complete Mind Care’s autism services are limited to TMS. We do not provide autism diagnostic testing, ABA therapy, general autism therapy, or medication management for autism. TMS for autism is a self-pay service and is not covered by insurance. Payment options and CareCredit financing may be available.
These pages describe specialized TMS protocols. Complete Mind Care does not provide general pain management, neurological care, sleep medicine, or other condition-specific medical services for these concerns.
These specialized protocols are self-pay and are not covered by insurance. Sliding-scale pricing, payment plans, and CareCredit financing may be available.
TMS: Targets specific brain regions; no systemic side effects; no daily pills; effects can last long after treatment ends
Medication: Affects entire body; potential side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, and fatigue; requires daily adherence; symptoms may return when stopped
Many patients choose TMS specifically to reduce or eliminate psychiatric medications. TMS can be used with or without medication—your team will help determine the best approach.
TMS: Outpatient procedure; no anesthesia; no memory loss; immediate return to activities; minimal side effects
ECT: Hospital setting; general anesthesia; potential memory issues; requires recovery time; used for severe, life-threatening depression
TMS offers an effective alternative without the risks and downtime associated with ECT.
Many patients benefit from combining TMS with psychotherapy. TMS addresses the biological component of depression and OCD, while therapy provides coping skills and addresses psychological factors. Our integrated approach ensures you receive both when appropriate.
We use both BrainsWay and Apollo TMS systems, allowing us to select the appropriate technology for each patient’s specific needs.
BrainsWay delivers Deep TMS through a helmet-style H-coil that stimulates a broader area. Apollo uses a figure-8 coil that can be positioned over more specific areas of the head when a protocol requires more precise targeting.
Apollo may also be selected for some patients who are prone to headaches or discomfort. Patients do not need to choose a system before treatment—the clinical team determines which device and protocol are appropriate.
This dual-platform approach gives us flexibility other practices don’t have.
Our BrainsWay system offers Deep TMS technology using an advanced helmet-style H-coil. Deep TMS plays an important role in the clinic’s treatment of depression, OCD, and anxious depression.
BrainsWay offers the specific FDA-cleared protocol used for anxious depression, which may be covered by insurance when depression is the primary diagnosis.
Deep TMS is one form of TMS. At Complete Mind Care, Deep TMS is delivered using the BrainsWay helmet-style H-coil, while Apollo TMS uses a more positionable figure-8 coil.
BrainsWay plays an important role in treating depression, OCD, and anxious depression. Apollo may be used when a protocol requires more specific coil positioning or when different comfort considerations apply. The clinical team determines which system is appropriate for each patient.
TMS therapy — including both rTMS and Deep TMS — is appropriate for a wide range of individuals, and candidacy is determined through a thorough clinical consultation rather than a simple checklist.
In general, TMS may be a strong fit if you are living with any of the conditions we treat, have experienced limited relief from medications or other conventional treatments, are looking for a non-invasive, medication-free alternative, or are seeking to complement an existing treatment plan with a neurological approach.
At Complete Mind Care, we treat conditions spanning mental health, neurological recovery, chronic pain, sensory disorders, sleep, and cognitive function — including migraines, autism, PTSD, suicidal ideation, chronic pain, tinnitus, brain injury, post-stroke recovery, sleep disorders, neuropathy, and cognitive enhancement. If you are managing any of these conditions, TMS is worth exploring regardless of where you are in your treatment journey.
That said, certain factors may affect candidacy. Individuals with metal implants in or near the head, a history of seizure disorders, or specific neurological conditions may not be suitable candidates — all of which are carefully reviewed during your initial consultation.
The most important step is simply starting the conversation. Our clinical team will review your full history, discuss your symptoms and goals, and give you a clear, honest picture of whether TMS is right for you and which modality — rTMS or Deep TMS — is best suited to your needs.
If you’ve tried medications and therapy without achieving remission, TMS offers a proven, FDA-approved alternative. Our experienced team is here to help you determine if TMS is right for you.
