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.

TMS has been a life saver for me. When I think of how my mental state was just two months ago compared to how it is now, it’s absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend for people who are suffering from depression and anxiety.
This treatment definitely helped improve my quality of life. After being in a really rough spot with my depression, this was the final option before resorting to electroshock therapy. Thankfully this treatment has greatly helped with my depression.
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 was skeptical at first. I gradually got back to feeling human. At Christmas, my family commented it was the best in 20 years. At 7 treatments left, my mother died. I handled it real good and finished my treatment after 3 weeks off. I would recommend TMS for depression to get better.”
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!”
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 cannot think of much in the way of improving the experience. Found it to be very friendly, personable, and professional. I found everyone here very enjoyable and genuinely interested and concerned in my progress and general well-being. It was a very positive experience and I found the treatment itself to be quite helpful in improving my day to day life.”
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.
TMS Center of Colorado provided a really great experience where I, as the patient, always felt heard and understood. They provided a holistic experience by coordinating with outside professionals and individuals. They always provided updated services to make sure I was fully taken care of. I would definitely recommend them for anyone struggling with depression.”
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 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.
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.
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.”
The TMS Center of Colorado staff were always very helpful and supportive, and the results received from the TMS were life changing.
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.
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 had a very positive experience with TMS Center of Colorado. Dr. Weiner and the rest of the staff were warm, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about both my comfort level with the treatment as well as how I was doing more generally. For a treatment that takes time, I really appreciate the level of flexibility the staff had accommodating my scheduling needs and preferences. My depression lifted and I feel more hopeful about and excited for where life takes me next.
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.
