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.
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!
Great place, effective treatment, amazing staff. Thank you for helping me get my life back together after years of failed treatments.
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.
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.
TMS has provided some much needed relief from pervasive symptoms of depression no other treatment has been able to achieve. Highly recommend!
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!
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.
Greatly enjoyed my experience and would recommend others to give it a shot.
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.
The TMS Center team is extraordinarily kind and supportive. They made my accelerated course of treatment fly by. Highly recommend.
I feel supported and cared for here. I have had a great experience and will definitely return should I need any more treatments. I also feel wonderful and I’m looking at life with a much more positive and uplifting attitude. Thanks to the entire team.
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.
All of the technicians and also Dr. Wirecki have all been very professional, concerned, and you can tell they all care. My experience was overall positive and I would recommend this center to anyone as an alternative option choice for [major depressive disorder] treatment.”
It is a shame that people suffering with major depressive episodes may not have access to TMS. That’s why I feel so fortunate to have found a provider like the TMS Center of Colorado. From my initial assessment zoom meeting with Dr. Weiner, to the first visit to determine thresholds and be introduced to the center, to the first day of treatment, all the way through to the end of a rather grueling week, I was made to feel comfortable, asked often how I was fairing, and made to feel welcomed into what for most people is a strange and frightening atmosphere. It is impossible to stay afraid after one day. The routine nature of the treatment and the comfort of the staff quickly becomes familiar. And, I feel so much better after just a week of treatments. The week seems daunting at the beginning, ten treatments over ten hours for five days. That would scare anyone! But it is such a calm and peaceful atmosphere that has been created for the patients. I recommend this center for anyone seeking TMS and I would welcome anyone who is hesitant to allow me to share my experience with them.
I recommend TMS Center of Colorado for TMS therapy. They provide a comfortable atmosphere with friendly and insightful staff and doctors. The appointment scheduling process was flexible and accommodating, a great help for working with work schedules.
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.
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.
Found staff & Dr. Richardson exceptionally professional & empathetic. TMS helped me with my depression and feel now, after treatment, more engaged in the world.
