If you’re considering TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy for depression or OCD in the Denver, Lakewood or Cherry Creek 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.
You have a choice when it comes to where to have your TMS therapy. Here’s why to consider choosing us:
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 our Denver, Lakewood and Cherry Creek, 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.
TMS might not be a treatment that you have heard of, especially with the most popular treatment of depression, antidepressant medications, being in the common parlance, but if you or a loved one is struggling with depression, you owe it to yourselves to investigate TMS as a first step of treatment. That it is non-invasive and covered by some insurances is a wonder for treating depression: it is exactly the shift in weather that clears the black clouds of depression in one’s mind.
The care and service of the technicians was great. They are very caring throughout the treatment.
Ameryst and Lindsey are very kind and competent. Made sure I was safe and comfortable. Plus they are just plain nice.

I’ve been to many TMS Centers for treatment around the country. This center was the best experience I’ve had due to the professionalism and
technical know-how of doctors and technicians.
I’ve had a great experience at TMS Center of Colorado. The technicians are very skilled at what they do and also sensitive and kind. They were willing to respond to my concerns and offer reassurance and encouragement. They always tried to make me physically comfortable. Dr. Wirecki checked in with me often, stayed for part of my sessions, and offered several private conversations.”
The staff at TMS Center of Colorado was amazing. They were always kind. The procedure itself was very helpful. I would definitely recommend the TMS Center of Colorado.
The staff at TMS Center of Colorado are the best, bar none. Spectacular care. TMS put my depression from a traumatic brain injury into remission. I cannot thank you enough.
I am so pleased I found TMS. This process has already shown me a different life perspective and I am the last person I thought would have a positive effect since nothing else has worked this effectively.
My depression has subsided and I’m optimistic about my future again after serious concussions changed my life. Highly recommend.
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.
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!
TMS has provided some much needed relief from pervasive symptoms of depression no other treatment has been able to achieve. Highly recommend!
The TMS Center of Colorado has an amazing staff and is a super comfortable environment! I have been through years of depression treatment as well as many medications, but nothing worked. I turned to TMS as a last hope and it had a huge payout. Part way through my treatment I walked outside and was able to just soak in the moment of feeling the joy of the sun on my face, I hadn’t felt that joy for years. I have much more hope that with some therapy to help adjust to such a large drop in depression, that I will be able to move on and live again as myself for the first time in a long time. Could not recommend this particular center more if I tried.
I came to TMS Center of Colorado for severe depression. Medications and therapy did not work for me for over five years. I am now, after completing dTMS, in a much better place than where I started. I got significantly better results with dTMS than I ever did with medication.”
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.”
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.
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!
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.
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.
