Prior to coming to the office you will receive an email confirming your appoint. Please make sure you complete the online patient forms prior to arriving in the office so our providers can review your case ahead of time. When you arrive at our office, you will be greeted by a member of our administrative staff. If you have not completed your paperwork ahead of time, new clients will have to complete the paperwork prior to their appointment so we ask that that patients arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time, so please plan your arrival accordingly.
We have offices located throughout the state of Florida, including more than 5 locations in the Orlando area. Check out our online behavioral health directory to find a location that is convenient for you.
We accept most major insurances. If you don’t see your insurance carrier on our list, please contact us to see how we can help.
We encourage you to discuss your interest in telehealth with your clinician during your next appointment to determine if this might be a fit for you. Currently telehealth is offered only for follow-up appointments, not first-time patients. If you do not currently have an appointment scheduled, please contact us.
If you do not see your provider listed as an available Telehealth participant, please contact our office to find out more information.
Most commercial insurances do cover telehealth visits, but coverage can vary by insurance carrier. We strongly recommend that you contact your insurance carrier prior to scheduling a telehealth visit, to inquire if telehealth is indeed a covered benefit for your plan.
It is best to speak to your doctor about the most effective plan for your care. We typically recommend that patients participating in Telehealth continue to see their provider face to face on a periodic basis. You and your provider can work together to determine a routine that works best for your specific needs.
LifeStance Health ensures the interaction between the patient and clinician is completely secure and HIPAA compliant. The teleconferencing software encrypts all forms of data, including video and audio.
Please call your location to cancel an appointment or select “Cancel” on the appointment reminder you receive to your email. This must be done at least 48 hours in advance or your cancellation can not be received.

A TMS device sends short stimulating pulses of magnetic fields to the area of the brain that is thought to function abnormally in patients with depression. An electric current is produced by the magnetic field in the brain that stimulates the brain cells (neurons). The results show changes that may be beneficial in the treatment of depression. Initial treatment often lasts about 37 minutes, performed every day for about 4-6 weeks.
Yes! Transcranial magnetic stimulation is typically covered by most insurances. You can speak to one of our intake specialists to learn more about your specific plan.
TMS is non-systemic, which means that it does not circulate in the blood throughout the body. Because it’s non-systemic, it does not have typical anti-depression medication side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, nausea, dry mouth, sedation, etc.
The most common side effects reported during clinical trials were mild to moderate headache and scalp discomfort. Side effects typically occur less frequently after the first week of treatment.
No. While both show effective results for treating depression, there are many differences in safety and tolerability.
During a TMS treatment session, patients are sitting, awake and alert throughout the entire 37-minute procedure. This means that no sedation is required for TMS Therapy. Patients are able to transport themselves to and from their treatment.
In contrast, electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), commonly referred to as “shock therapy,” is meant to intentionally causes a seizure. Patients who receive ECT are sedated with general anesthesia and paralyzed with muscle relaxants. After the treatment, recovery occurs slowly, and patients are typically monitored under close supervision for minutes or a even few hours after a treatment.
Patients often experience short-term confusion and memory loss after a ECT session. Even long-term memory disruptions have been reported and may persist indefinitely in some people. Significant caregiver supervision is often required after treatment, due to the side effects commonly associated with ECT.
Typically, the average course of TMS Therapy happens five times per week for exactly 37 minutes sessions over a 4-6 week timeframe.
Any additional treatments are based on clinical judgment.
TMS Therapy has been demonstrated to be safe in clinical trials and most people tolerate the TMS Therapy system very well.
Throughout over 10,000 active treatments performed in clinical trials, the most commonly reported side effect related to treatment was scalp discomfort during treatment sessions. This side effect was generally mild to moderate and occurred less frequently after the first week of treatment. Less than 5% of patients treated with TMS Therapy discontinued treatment due to side effects.
While TMS Therapy has shown to be effective, not all patients will benefit from it. Patients should be carefully monitored for worsening symptoms, signs or symptoms of suicidal behavior, and/or unusual behavior. Families and caregivers should also be aware of the need to observe patients and notify their treatment provider if symptoms worsen.
No, the most common side effect related to treatment was scalp discomfort during treatment sessions. This side effect was typically mild-moderate and was shown to occur less frequently after the first week of treatment.
If necessary, this discomfort can be treated with an over-the-counter analgesic. If these side effects persist, your doctor can temporarily reduce the strength of the magnetic field pulses being administered. This can help make treatment more comfortable.
Less than 5% of patients treated with TMS therapy discontinued treatment due to side effects.
In a clinical trial, 2 out of 3 patients who had either responded to treatment or completely remitted their depression symptoms reported 12 months later that they remained at the level they were at the end of the trial. Additionally, after the trial, only 1 in 3 patients needed to return for ‘maintenance’ TMS sessions.
Yes. In clinical trials, TMS therapy was safely administered with and without other antidepressant medications.
