TMS Therapy in Houston –
Clear Lake
If you’ve been living with depression or OCD for years and haven’t found relief with medication, TMS may help. This FDA-approved therapy is shown to reduce symptoms in adults when other treatments haven’t worked.
There's Another Way to Treat Depression and OCD
Managing depression or OCD can feel overwhelming—especially when medications and therapy haven’t brought the relief you were hoping for.
You may be doing everything you can, but the symptoms persist.
That doesn't mean you're out of options.
TMS Therapy: A Different Approach
TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression, OCD, anxiety, and other mood disorders.
Instead of relying on medication to circulate through your body, TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
Each treatment is delivered in a clinic setting, with no need for anesthesia or recovery time. Most patients resume normal activities right after their session.
How TMS Works
During each session, a small device is placed gently against the scalp, delivering magnetic pulses that activate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation.
These pulses help improve communication between brain cells, often leading to improved mood and emotional clarity over time.
TMS is typically administered five days a week for 4 to 6 weeks. Each session lasts about 20 to 40 minutes, and most patients can return to their usual activities immediately afterward.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Our clinic uses the Apollo TMS Therapy System, a next-generation device designed to deliver precise, effective brain stimulation using advanced coil technology.
It features an industry-leading short pulse width to optimize cortical activation, while a quieter, more efficient design enhances comfort during treatment.
