If you’re considering TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy for depression or OCD in the Denver area, experience matters.
The doctors and staff at TMS Center of Colorado were the first to offer TMS in Colorado. We were the first to offer Brainsway Deep TMS, a more powerful treatment compared with standard TMS that enables that magnetic pulse to reach deeper into the brain. These deeper (limbic) areas of the brain impact mood regulation and motivation, which are commonly negatively affected in patients who are depressed. We were also the first in Colorado to offer the Accelerated TMS Protocol.
TMS treatment is safe, and FDA cleared to treat depression and/or OCD. It is used off-label to treat other disorders, such as general anxiety disorder, migraines and to assist with smoking cessation.
TMS was initially recommended for patients who were resistant to medication. However, it is now also a preferred option for those who do not wish to be on antidepressants and experience their possible side effects such as weight gain, loss of sleep, lessened libido or fogged thinking.
Accelerated TMS is a more intensive form of TMS therapy, characterized by 10 treatments per day over a 5-day period. Compared to standard TMS, Accelerated TMS achieves a higher remission rate (up to 90% versus up to 78%) in a shorter period of time (1-2 weeks versus 6-8 weeks). This treatment is well tolerated by patients and safe. If you have questions about Accelerated TMS, please call us!
Many TMS treatments are covered by insurance and cost about the same. Why not choose the center that offers the greatest amount of experience and a more powerful Deep TMS system? Doing so can improve your overall results and save you time. For your convenience, we offer the same Brainsway Deep TMS at both our Denver and Lakewood, Colorado offices.
We also offer the expertise of 5 compassionate, caring psychiatrists who are highly experienced in evaluating patients for TMS therapy and supervising their treatment. You can learn more about our doctors by clicking here.

The TMS Center of Colorado has a very welcoming staff. The treatment has made such a difference in my life. No side effects from medications, and I feel beyond happy. I would recommend this treatment for everyone.”
Great place, effective treatment, amazing staff. Thank you for helping me get my life back together after years of failed treatments.
Found staff & Dr. Richardson exceptionally professional & empathetic. TMS helped me with my depression and feel now, after treatment, more engaged in the world.
Dr. Richardson was very thorough in her initial assessment and every weekly meeting during my treatment. She was very nice and answered any questions I had about my treatment. The technicians were all very nice as well and made me feel comfortable during my treatment. I enjoyed being able to listen to music during my treatments and overall had a very positive experience with all of the staff here.
This is the best experience with TMS that I have had. I’ve had it three times before in my life. This office is very precise, and always attentive.
When I first started TMS I was hopeful, but still very skeptical. I’ve struggled with depression for over 20 years and have had some reprieves throughout but have always relied on medication to get me to a baseline where I felt moderately functional. After years of increasing dosage and trying new medications I found myself still falling into deep depressions, I was starting to feel more and more hopeless. I first heard about TMS several years ago and thought there was no way that magnetic stimulation could help where chemicals and years of therapy couldn’t. But as years went by and my depression worsened I began having personal encounters with people who had great success with TMS and finally became open to trying it. I’m so grateful that I ended up at TMS Center of Colorado. At first I was worried because I didn’t notice improvement but a little more than halfway through things started to change. After that point I felt improvements continue as treatment progressed, feelings of hopelessness began to disappear, my energy increased, I became more interested in people and things that I enjoy, my focus improved! I don’t know if the changes are permanent or not, but even if they are relatively short lived it is all worth it to me because I feel better than I ever have.
I am very pleased and happy with the TMS Center of Colorado. I feel the Center and staff were very professional, caring, and very willing to educate me on the treatments as I continued. When I came to the TMS Center of Colorado, I was so very depressed. I was in a deep dark place, so alone in my feelings and l had fearful feelings. What a success! I feel lifted of the burden. The peace of mind is wonderful. For all the poor people who suffer this awful disease, I hope you have the chance to get TMS treatment. I am very pleased. The staff and Dr. Wirecki are wonderful, professional, and they care about you!”
I had been opposed to TMS initially due to an irrational fear of it impacting my cognitive capacity, but I had become so hopeless from my depression that I needed to try everything available, notwithstanding my fears. I am so grateful that I did! TMS has helped my brain and my depression. What is most noticeable is that my brain has stopped its endless soundtracks of negative, self-defeating thoughts. Thank you for giving me more peace. It was a joy working with everyone at the center, and I will miss it.”
My depression has subsided and I’m optimistic about my future again after serious concussions changed my life. Highly recommend.
All the staff were very kind and accommodating – especially Dr. Menninger, Kate, Cameron, Misty and Beatrice. I appreciate that they took the time to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Thank you to all of the staff! I appreciated the care provided by all 6 of the staff that provided my treatment. All the staff were so kind and checked to make sure I was comfortable during each treatment session. The accelerated treatment is such a gift – especially if you have a career/job that makes it hard to get away daily or have to travel to have access to TMS. I highly recommend TMS Center of Colorado!
The TMS Center of Colorado staff were always very helpful and supportive, and the results received from the TMS were life changing.
The care and service of the technicians was great. They are very caring throughout the treatment.
The staff is there to take care of you. They truly do care about your progress. They check in often to make sure you’re physically, mentally, and emotionally supported.
I found the actual TMS treatments to be helpful but what took the experience to the next level was the kindness and care I received. The team is not only professional but kind, understanding and super encouraging during a very vulnerable time. I am so grateful for my experience.
I travelled quite a distance to spend a week at the center. Was pleasantly surprised. Facilities were great, staff outstanding, treatment successful. An excellent investment of time and energy.
This treatment changed my life. My marriage and energy have improved. I have never known what it was to NOT be depressed. Now I know!
Greatly appreciated personable and professional TMS staff. Very helpful calming my first-treatment nerves, and dealt efficaciously with insurance – and mine was a bear! Thank you so much! Thrilled with my experience at TMS Center of Colorado.
TMS is an incredible tool in the toolbox of mental wellness. Though at times it may seem daunting, the progress I was able to make was incredible and I am so incredibly grateful to have TMS Center of Colorado available.
