Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What services does Holsoms TMS Wellness Clinic offer?
We provide a multidisciplinary suite of mental health treatments, including TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation), counseling & therapy, psychiatry & medication management, Spravato (esketamine), ADHD evaluation, addiction treatment, nutrition education, and psychotherapy. Our approach is rooted in compassion, evidence-based care, and patient empowerment.
2. What is TMS therapy, and how can it help me?
TMS therapy is a non‑invasive, FDA‑cleared brain stimulation treatment used to address treatment‑resistant depression and other mood disorders. It works by delivering magnetic pulses to targeted brain regions to encourage mood‑boosting neural activity. Many patients experience meaningful relief with minimal side effects, especially those who haven’t benefited from medication.
3. Who is an ideal candidate for TMS?
Ideal candidates are adults with major depressive disorder who haven’t responded to one or more adequate trials of antidepressant medications. We also evaluate individuals experiencing anxiety, PTSD, or substance use challenges, and determine if TMS or other services better suit their needs.
4. What can I expect during a TMS session?
Each session is brief, typically 20 to 40 minutes, during which you remain awake and relaxed. The magnetic coil is placed over the scalp, and you may feel a gentle tapping sensation. Sessions occur daily (Monday through Friday) over 4–6 weeks, totaling approximately 20–30 treatments.
5. Are there any risks or side effects with TMS?
TMS is generally well-tolerated. You may experience mild scalp discomfort or a slight headache, both of which typically lessen with time. Unlike medications, TMS does not carry systemic side effects such as weight gain or sedation.
6. Does insurance cover TMS therapy?
Many insurers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and private plans, cover TMS for depression when medical necessity criteria are satisfied. Our team can help you verify eligibility and guide you through the prior‑authorization process.
7. How long before I see results from TMS?
Some patients feel improvement in as few as 1–2 weeks, but most need 3–4 weeks before noticeable changes. Full benefits usually appear near the end of the treatment course. Your clinician will monitor progress and adjust recommendations as needed.
8. What other mental health treatments do you offer?
Beyond TMS, we offer:
- Individual counseling & psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions
- Psychiatric medication management, including Spravato (esketamine) and ADHD diagnosis/treatment
- Addiction treatment and relapse prevention support
- Nutrition and wellness coaching to support holistic recovery.
9. Is Holsoms TMS different from other wellness clinics?
Yes. We combine cutting-edge technology (like TMS and Spravato) with holistic care (therapy, nutrition, lifestyle planning) in a warm, stigma-free environment rooted in empathy and evidence-based practice.
