OCD can be overwhelming, exhausting, and isolating — but it’s also treatable. Our FDA-approved treatment is helping people just like you take control of their lives again.
OCD is associated with overactivity in a specific brain circuit involving the anterior cingulate cortex, orbitofrontal cortex, and striatum. These areas contribute to intrusive thoughts and compulsive behaviors.
TMS Therapy helps calm these overactive brain regions. By delivering gentle, precisely targeted magnetic pulses, TMS Therapy works to regulate the dysregulated circuitry responsible for OCD. This can lead to fewer obsessions, reduced compulsions, and improved emotional regulation.
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition marked by recurring, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions). These symptoms can interfere with daily life, relationships, and emotional well-being.
OCD is not just about being neat or organized — it’s about feeling trapped in cycles of anxiety and ritual. It affects over 2 million adults in the U.S. every year.
We treat OCD without intentional provocations. Unlike some providers, we don’t trigger obsessive thoughts during TMS sessions — because there’s no evidence it improves results.
Instead, we focus on comfort, consistency, and proven protocols that reduce symptoms without added stress.
Many patients improve from a Y-BOCS score of 20 (moderate) to 5 (mild/subclinical) after treatment.
Even in the event the patient does not quite reach full remission, most see meaningful improvements in daily life — like better focus, returning to work, and reconnecting with loved ones.
TMS can also make talk therapy more effective by helping patients become more present, responsive, and emotionally engaged.
You’ll sit in a comfortable chair while a technician positions a magnetic coil near your head. The device sends magnetic pulses to targeted brain areas — most people describe the sensation as a tapping on the scalp. Each office visit lasts approximately 20 minutes, depending on your specific protocol.
There’s no recovery time needed — you can drive yourself home and return to your regular activities immediately.
