NeuroStar® TMS Services

Mental Health Management Group offers NeuroStar® Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) as part of comprehensive outpatient psychiatric services. TMS is a non-invasive neuromodulation procedure that may be considered following an individualized psychiatric evaluation when clinically appropriate.

Services are provided in Brandon, Florida, serving individuals throughout the Tampa Bay area.

What Is NeuroStar TMS?

NeuroStar TMS is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive neuromodulation system that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS does not require anesthesia or sedation and is administered in an outpatient medical setting under professional supervision.

TMS may be discussed as part of a broader care plan for certain individuals experiencing depressive or related symptoms when other treatment approaches have been reviewed.

Clinical Considerations

TMS is not appropriate for all individuals. Determining whether NeuroStar TMS is suitable requires:

  • A comprehensive psychiatric evaluation
  • Review of prior treatment history
  • Assessment of current symptoms and medical factors
  • Discussion of risks, benefits, and alternatives

Decisions regarding treatment are made collaboratively between patient and clinician based on clinical judgment and individual circumstances.

What to Expect During Treatment

Before Treatment
Individuals are seated comfortably while a treatment coil is positioned near the scalp. The device delivers targeted magnetic pulses to the designated treatment area. Patients remain awake and alert during the session.

During Treatment
Some individuals report a tapping or tingling sensation at the treatment site. Sensations are typically mild and often lessen over time, though individual experiences vary.

After Treatment
Sessions generally last approximately 20 to 40 minutes. Because TMS does not involve sedation, most individuals are able to resume normal daily activities afterward, based on clinician guidance.

Treatment schedules are individualized and may involve multiple sessions over several weeks, depending on clinical recommendation.

Integration With Ongoing Care

TMS is typically provided as part of a coordinated psychiatric care plan. Some individuals continue medication management or therapy during treatment, while others may discuss adjustments with their prescribing clinician when clinically appropriate. Any medication changes must be supervised by a licensed healthcare professional.

NeuroStar TMS services are provided under medical supervision within the Mental Health Management Group office at 1119 Nikki View Drive, Brandon, Florida.

TMS delivers focused magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. The precise mechanism is still being studied, but the goal is to modulate neural activity in targeted regions under clinical supervision.

Individual sessions typically last between 20 and 40 minutes. The overall course of treatment varies depending on clinical recommendation and individual response.

Insurance coverage varies depending on the provider and individual policy. Patients are encouraged to contact the office to discuss insurance participation and private pay options.
