At Pacific Mind Health, we provide innovative and evidence-based TMS services for Long Beach residents seeking alternatives to traditional mental health treatment.
For many people living with depression, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health conditions, medication and therapy may not provide the level of relief they are looking for. Transcranial magnetic stimulation offers another path forward.
Our experienced team combines compassionate care with advanced technology to help patients improve symptoms, regain hope, and move toward greater wellness. Whether you are exploring TMS for the first time or searching for additional treatment options after trying antidepressant medications, we are here to help.
If you would like to learn more about TMS treatment, contact Pacific Mind Health to schedule a consultation.
TMS therapy is a non-invasive procedure that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions involved in mood regulation. Unlike medication, which affects the entire body, transcranial magnetic stimulation works directly on specific brain networks associated with depression and other mental health disorders.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation is FDA-approved and has been extensively studied as a treatment for individuals experiencing persistent symptoms despite previous interventions.
During TMS treatment sessions, magnetic fields are delivered through a device positioned against the scalp. The treatment does not require anesthesia, sedation, or recovery time, allowing patients to return to their normal activities immediately afterward.
Many individuals seeking mental health treatment have already tried therapy, medication management, or multiple antidepressant medications without achieving the results they hoped for.
At Pacific Mind Health, we offer a range of mental health treatment options designed to support the whole person. TMS is often recommended for individuals experiencing:
Our psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners carefully evaluate each individual before determining whether TMS may be appropriate.
If you have struggled to overcome depression despite multiple treatment attempts, we encourage you to contact our team.
Depression can affect every aspect of life, including relationships, work performance, energy levels, and emotional well-being. Many individuals describe feeling stuck, disconnected, or unable to control their mood despite ongoing efforts to improve.
TMS treatment is commonly used as a depression treatment option for individuals whose symptoms have not adequately responded to medication alone. By stimulating targeted brain regions associated with mood regulation, TMS may help reduce symptoms and improve overall functioning.
Our goal is not only to treat depression but to help patients reclaim a greater sense of purpose, connection, and hope.
Although TMS is best known for its effectiveness in treating depression, research continues to explore its use for other mental health conditions as well.
TMS may be considered for:
Each patient receives a personalized diagnosis and treatment plan based on their symptoms, treatment history, and goals.
Our Long Beach psychiatry team works closely with patients to determine whether TMS may fit into their overall care strategy.
Pacific Mind Health proudly offers Express TMS, an innovative treatment option that uses advanced theta burst technology to significantly reduce treatment time.
Traditional TMS sessions may take 20 to 40 minutes, while Express TMS can often be completed in just a few minutes. This allows patients to receive effective treatment while minimizing disruptions to work, family obligations, and daily life.
Express TMS is ideal for individuals seeking greater convenience while still benefiting from the therapeutic effects of brain stimulation.
If you are interested in a shorter treatment experience, ask our team whether Express TMS may be right for you.
In addition to Express TMS, Pacific Mind Health offers Accelerated TMS for qualifying patients.
Accelerated TMS delivers multiple treatment sessions in a condensed schedule, allowing patients to complete treatment in a shorter period than traditional protocols. This approach may be particularly appealing for individuals seeking a more intensive treatment schedule or those traveling from Orange County and other areas throughout Southern California.
Our clinicians carefully evaluate each patient to determine which TMS approach may provide the greatest benefit.
Contact Pacific Mind Health to learn more about Accelerated TMS and whether it may be a good fit for your needs.
Many individuals are surprised by how straightforward the TMS process is. During treatment, patients remain awake and seated comfortably while magnetic pulses are delivered to targeted areas of the brain.
Treatment does not involve medication changes, anesthesia, or sedation. Most individuals tolerate the procedure well, and while treatment may cause initial discomfort, this sensation typically diminishes as patients become accustomed to the therapy.
Sessions are performed in our Long Beach, CA, office under the supervision of trained professionals committed to exceptional patient care.
Many insurance providers now recognize the effectiveness of TMS for treatment-resistant depression and other qualifying conditions.
Pacific Mind Health works with most major insurance companies and can help verify insurance coverage before treatment begins. Our support team can discuss eligibility requirements, prior authorization processes, and financial considerations during your consultation.
We understand that navigating insurance can feel overwhelming, and we are committed to making the process as simple as possible.
If you have questions about insurance coverage, contact our office for assistance.
