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.”
TMS Center of Colorado is an exceptional place. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Dr. Menninger is also a wonderful doctor. I highly recommend this place!
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.
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.
I feel like I have become a much stronger person through TMS. I feel stronger emotionally and feel like I can handle stress much better. Before TMS, I was falling apart over every little thing. Now I feel I can handle whatever comes my way, whatever challenges I must face. The staff at the TMS Center are professional and attentive and very caring. They have helped to make this an extremely positive experience.”
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!
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!”
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.
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.
This was a very good experience. Even though I didn’t notice significant changes during my week of treatment, I feel very positive that good is going to come out of this treatment. I already notice that I feel ‘lighter’ compared to how I felt before the treatment started. With that being said, I believe I will continue to notice positive changes. The staff are incredibly kind and professional and make this accelerated program experience very smooth and tolerable.
…in a great environment with great results
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!
After years of trial and error with various medications and therapies, I knew it was time to step out and try something new. Although skeptical at first, due to continuous failure with other treatments, I could not be more grateful now for the improvements TMS has made in my life. I struggled with an unbearable amount of anxiety, depression, and mood swings for most of my adult life, but TMS has gradually alleviated all of these. With just a few months of treatment, I have begun to find my happiness and health again. Thank you so much for that.”
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.
Seven months ago I was so depressed I wasn’t able to function. After the six weeks of TMS Therapy I was back to work; I was feeling great; I was enjoying my kids again and I had my life back.”
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 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.
