TMS Therapy (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)
For individuals who are experiencing treatment-resistant depression or who prefer alternatives to traditional medications, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy. TMS is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain, helping to improve mood and alleviate symptoms.
Why Choose TMS?
Non-Invasive
This method enhances safety and comfort by bypassing surgery and anesthesia, leading to quicker recovery and fewer complications.
Medication-Free
Ideal for those who prefer not to rely on medications or who have not responded to traditional treatments.
Safe and Effective
TMS is a well-researched, safe treatment with proven effectiveness for reducing depression symptoms.
TMS therapy can be an empowering option for individuals seeking alternative treatments or those who have not found success with medication alone. Nexus Neuropsychiatry will work with you to determine if TMS is the right option based on your personal mental health journey.

Psychiatry & TMS Therapy FAQs
Here are some common questions and answers about our Psychiatry & TMS Therapy services at Kindred Connection. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us directly.
What is the difference between psychiatry and therapy?
Psychiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Therapy, on the other hand, is typically led by psychologists, therapists, or social workers and involves talk-based approaches to managing mental health. At Kindred Connection, we offer both psychiatry and therapy services, tailored to the unique needs of perinatal clients.
What is TMS Therapy, and how does it work?
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. It uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS is especially helpful for individuals who have not responded well to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy. It’s a safe and effective option for those seeking alternatives.
Who is a good candidate for TMS Therapy?
TMS Therapy is ideal for individuals who are experiencing treatment-resistant depression or who prefer non-medication approaches. It’s particularly beneficial for perinatal clients who may be hesitant to use medications due to pregnancy or breastfeeding. Our team will work with you to determine if TMS is the right treatment option based on your medical history and mental health needs.
Is TMS Therapy safe during pregnancy?
Yes, TMS Therapy is considered safe during pregnancy as it is non-invasive and does not require medication. There is no exposure to anesthesia or medications, making it a preferred option for pregnant individuals who need treatment for depression or other mood disorders.
How long does a TMS Therapy session take?
A typical TMS Therapy session lasts about 30 to 40 minutes. Sessions are usually conducted five times a week over a course of four to six weeks. However, the exact duration may vary depending on your treatment plan and response.
Will I need medication along with TMS Therapy?
Not necessarily. TMS Therapy is often used as an alternative to medication for those who prefer a non-drug approach. However, some individuals may benefit from a combination of TMS and medication. Our psychiatric providers will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your preferences and needs.
