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.
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.
I’m so grateful that I received care at the TMS Center Colorado. After 3 years of failed medication trials I was losing hope and becoming fatigued from not getting the help that I needed. From the first phone call to the last treatment session I felt like I was treated with empathy and compassion from every employee I encountered. I did not feel uncomfortable sharing the hard truth of how low I felt. Instead, I could see how anyone I talked to was genuinely listening to my needs. TMS treatment has by far been the greatest thing I have ever done for my mental health and was well worth the investment. Although I hope I will not need touchups in the future, I would never go anywhere else for treatment.
I embarked on this journey not knowing the outcome with a level of fear and apprehension. I do believe this treatment modality was effective as I feel a great sense of calm, with more focus and interest in engaging life.
Thankfully TMS is a treatment that works well for depression and anxiety. It is a real God send for me. It’s life changing. Keep going and getting the treatment, it will pay off. Don’t give up . You can feel a lot better.
TMS has made some of the most significant differences in my mental health journey! The techs were amazing and Dr. Richardson always proactively checked in with me.
I noticed a huge improvement in my quality of sleep after the first week of treatment. I have nothing but good things to say about TMS. I wish I would have known about it sooner.
The TMS Center team is extraordinarily kind and supportive. They made my accelerated course of treatment fly by. Highly recommend.
I have not felt this good since I was in high school. I can find joy in the simple things in life and am no longer afraid to get out of bed in the morning. I am hopeful about my future.”
Everyone at TMS Center of Colorado was extremely kind and accommodating. I have tried many treatments and the best response so far is with iTBS, so give it a shot!
I really very much appreciate the techs and Dr. Barucha! Dr. Barucha was very encouraging and kind and I really enjoyed working with her. She truly cared how I was doing and made sure to include me in the decision making when it came to my treatments. I am very grateful to have gotten to work with her.
I was hopeful but skeptical about this process but the team at TMS Center of Colorado were very helpful in making sure I understood the process and was comfortable. They dealt with my insurance company and really made this an easy process. In the end I am glad I did this because I feel a lot better and more in control of depression.
TMS has provided some much needed relief from pervasive symptoms of depression no other treatment has been able to achieve. Highly recommend!
…in a great environment with great results
Signing up for TMS was a leap of faith that I could feel better and get back to the things I enjoy. At the end of treatment, I have already resumed doing many of the hobbies and activities that make me happy. It was a calculated risk that really paid off. I would not hesitate to do it again, if needed, and use TMS Center of Colorado, which seemed more professional than other providers I considered.
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.
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.
I had tried different medication for years before TMS. I still struggled to get out of bed every day. After TMS, I feel like I can take care of myself. I’ve been able to enjoy spending time with the people I love again.
The staff at TMS Center of Colorado is awesome! They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and accommodate my scheduling needs.
TMS has been by far the most effective remedy for my treatment resistant depression. The staff at TMS Center of Colorado are all extraordinarily kind and caring through every step of treatment. They are easy to work with, pleasant, friendly, and fully invested in their patients. I can’t recommend TMS Center of Colorado highly enough.
When I first started TMS, life was not worth living. I had stopped doing all the things I loved, and experienced no joy from things that should have been fun. It truly is the little things in life: getting up in the morning instead of afternoon, reading magazines again, washing my face at night, cooking a meal, taking the dog for a walk, and looking forward to the next day with a hint of optimism. Thank you!”
