Drug-free depression treatment that works — in three-minute sessions.
A magnet, not a molecule.
Three-minute sessions. No medication. No years lost on pills that “kind of” work. We start with the most-effective treatment first — BrainsWay Deep TMS, on the accelerated protocol, in San Diego.
For most patients, the goal is simple — from depressed, to not depressed anymore. Most respond, most reach remission, and most hold it through 12 months. Results vary.
Built on proof, not promises
“Does it last?” Now a randomized trial answers it — and the numbers held for a full year.
The first multisite RCT on the long-term outcomes of the SWIFT™ accelerated Deep TMS protocol answers the relapse fear head-on. Faster relief, deeper results — that hold.
In Remission at 12 Months
More than 80% of patients stayed in remission through a full year on the accelerated protocol—not a lift that fades in a month.
Fewer Clinic Visits
Up to 70% fewer acute-phase clinic visits versus the standard course—your life, not the waiting room.
Severe Impairment, Gone
Severe functional impairment fell from 85% of patients at baseline to 0% by 12 months. From barely functioning to back to life.

The wedge
One side is a cabinet of maybes. The other is a magnet that worked.
Four reasons we beat the cabinet.
We win on the stack — the deepest device, the fastest protocol, the drug-free wedge: most effective, first.
Three minutes. Not twenty.
The old way: 20 minutes in the chair. Ours: three — a treatment shorter than your coffee order. Accelerated theta-burst sessions are the product, not a gimmick.
Easier to sit through. Easier to finish.
No medication fog. No ketamine haze. Just sit back for three minutes. Comfort is why patients complete the course — and completion is why results hold.
The accelerated protocol. The most effective there is.
On the SWIFT accelerated protocol, BrainsWay Deep TMS delivers durable remission for most patients — without the medication trial-and-error. Results vary.
We start with what works.
We're not in the business of burning years of your life and thousands of dollars. No more medication carousel. We go right to the most effective treatment first.
One machine. A door for everyone.
The adult the pills failed. The exec who flies in. The veteran on TRICARE. The spouse looking for a way back to their person. Same three minutes — find the door that's yours.
Is this just my life now?
You've done the SSRIs, the switches, the “give it six more weeks.” Each did kind of nothing — and you started to wonder if flat is just who you are now. It isn't. We start with what works, not after another year of trial-and-error.
I want the best — and I want it first.
Done with the carousel and able to skip the line. Drug-free, most-effective-first, in a concierge setting that feels like the Botox tier of mental healthcare — because it is. Handled privately, by people who know your name and not your business.
Four days. You leave different than you arrived.
Three-minute sessions compress a nine-week course into a focused four-day intensive. Total discretion, hotel handled, one point of contact. No years to spare — and no need to. Most patients leave different than they arrived; results vary.
Covered by TRICARE. A machine that worked.
Covered by TRICARE for major depressive disorder (with prior authorization, typically after a medication trial) — we handle the paperwork and verify coverage before you commit. For PTSD and the depression that rides with it. No drugs, no couch — a magnet, three minutes, FDA-cleared.
Proof beats claims.
A veteran. A treatment-resistant adult. A spouse who got their person back. The machine doesn't care who you are — it helps your brain. Patient testimonials reflect individual experiences; results vary.
Before I came here my anxiety felt unbearable. I was always on edge, and it impacted every part of my life. Now I feel like I've regained control over my emotions. The personalized care made all the difference.

Anxiety
Simple. Drug-free. Over before your coffee.
A proven, drug-free process that takes you from the medication carousel to a durable return to yourself.
A private consult
No waitlist, no run-around. A concierge intake that treats you as a person, not a case file. We map the most effective path — first. The consultation is private and no-obligation; if Deep TMS isn't right for you, we'll say so.
A magnetic pulse
You sit back. A focused magnetic field — the same physics as an MRI — gently activates the brain regions tied to mood. Three minutes. No drug, no high. You stay yourself the whole time.
The accelerated protocol
On the accelerated protocol, an entire nine-week course compresses into days, not months. Most patients feel the lift in weeks — on the same FDA-cleared BrainsWay Deep TMS device used in the SWIFT trial.
You leave different
From depressed, to not depressed anymore — that's the goal for most patients. A durable return to yourself, not a lift that fades in a month. Results vary, and your consultation tells you if it's likely to work for you.
Overseen by your medical director
Every protocol is designed and overseen by our board-certified medical director, a psychiatrist — using BrainsWay Deep TMS, the same FDA-cleared device used in the SWIFT durability trial.
Drug-free relief, where other things haven't worked.
BrainsWay Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD — the conditions the medicine cabinet too often leaves “mostly” untreated.
Depression
Including treatment-resistant depression — when the pills did “kind of nothing.”
Anxiety
For the always-on-edge feeling that follows you into every room. Drug-free relief.
PTSD & OCD
For service members and veterans — and the depression that so often rides with PTSD.
Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD. For PTSD we treat the comorbid depression, where the evidence and TRICARE coverage apply. Individual results vary.
30-second self-check
Not sure if it's for you? Start here.
Four quick questions. Private by design — this runs entirely on your device. Nothing is saved, sent, or tied to your name. No account, no email required.
Have you tried at least one antidepressant that didn't fully work — or stopped working?
Has low mood, anxiety, or numbness lasted most days for two weeks or more?
Are side effects, fog, or weight changes from medication a dealbreaker for you?
Would three-minute, drug-free sessions fit your life better than daily pills?
Private. Nothing is saved or sent. 0/4 answered.
This self-check is informational only and is not a diagnosis or medical advice. A consultation with a licensed clinician is the only way to know if you're a candidate.
