What is TMS therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses precise magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions involved in mood regulation. It’s FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, and also used in the treatment of anxiety and PTSD.
You stay awake and alert the entire time — no anesthesia, no sedation, no memory effects. Most sessions take 20–40 minutes, and you drive yourself home afterward. At MHCA in Phoenix, Mesa, and Glendale, TMS is delivered by doctoral-level clinicians as part of a coordinated care plan.
20–40 minutes
Per session. ONE-D delivers a full course in a single day.
Awake & alert
No anesthesia, no sedation, no memory effects. It is not ECT.
Precisely targeted
Magnetic pulses reach only the mood-regulating brain regions — not your whole body.
Drive yourself home
No downtime or recovery room — return to work or your day after every session.
TMS by the numbers
Sources. ONE-D response rate: Vaughn DA, et al. “Real-world effectiveness of a single-day regimen for TMS (ONE-D): An open-label case series,” Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, 2025 (open-label case series, n=32). Traditional TMS figures: published trials and registries, including Carpenter et al., 2012 and the THREE-D trial (2018).
Individual results vary. These figures reflect published response rates and are not a guarantee of outcome.
TMS that’s part of a complete care plan — not a TMS-only clinic.
Most TMS clinics in Arizona deliver stimulation and refer everything else out. At MHCA, your TMS course is coordinated with psychiatry, medication management, therapy, and wellness — one chart, one team, one plan.
Traditional TMS — or a complete course in one day.
Your clinician will recommend the right protocol for your history, schedule, and goals.
Traditional TMS
- 20–40 minute sessions, five days a week
- The most extensively studied TMS protocol for depression and OCD
- Most major plans cover it — we verify benefits and handle prior authorization
- Awake and alert; drive yourself home after every session
ONE-D Accelerated
- A full TMS course in about 9.5 hours — sessions spaced 30 minutes apart to maximize neuroplasticity
- Private treatment room, doctoral-level monitoring throughout, catered lunch
- Ideal if you can’t commit to 6–9 weeks of daily visits
- HSA/FSA funds may apply — confirm with your plan administrator
Who TMS helps
TMS is FDA-cleared for depression and OCD, and also used for anxiety and PTSD. It’s typically recommended when one or more antidepressants haven’t brought enough relief.
Treatment-Resistant Depression
You’ve tried one or more antidepressants without lasting relief — this is where TMS has its strongest evidence.
OCD
FDA-cleared for obsessive-compulsive disorder, delivered as part of a coordinated treatment plan.
Anxiety
Many patients see anxiety improve alongside mood — anxiety scores dropped significantly in published TMS studies.
PTSD & Trauma
Used in the treatment of PTSD alongside trauma-focused therapy from our in-house team.
Sensitive to Medication Side Effects
No systemic side effects — and you can continue your current medications throughout treatment.
Busy Schedules
A traditional 6–9 week course — or the ONE-D accelerated protocol: a full 20-session course in a single day.
Four steps from first call to treatment

What patients say about TMS at MHCA
“This has been a life-saver. I didn’t know life could be like this.”
“I tried medication and therapy, but nothing brought lasting relief. This has truly been life-changing — my depression no longer controls me, and I feel optimistic about my future in a way I haven’t in years.”
“The staff at MHCA are kind, considerate, and supportive. Virtual visits make it possible to meet with providers when I need them.”
