Advance TMS - Manhattan

Steps from Grand Central Terminal on Madison Avenue, Advance TMS brings non-invasive brain stimulation to the heart of Midtown Manhattan. The center works with children and adults with depression, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), autism, and brain injury, combining diagnostic testing with drug-free care for clients seeking options beyond medication alone.

TMS and Brain Mapping-Guided MeRT

The team provides standard transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for depression and OCD and magnetic e-resonance therapy (MeRT), a customized form of TMS, for concerns such as autism, PTSD, and brain injury. While both use magnetic pulses to stimulate targeted areas of the brain, MeRT uses each client’s brainwave patterns to shape how clinicians deliver the stimulation. Clients receiving MeRT first complete quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) brain mapping and an electrocardiogram (EKG). The team reviews the results, sets the stimulation for each client, and repeats testing to track changes and make adjustments. MeRT sessions typically last 20 to 30 minutes, 5 days a week for about 6 weeks.

Care Access in Midtown Manhattan

Located at 315 Madison Avenue, the center sits near major subway and commuter rail connections for clients making repeat visits. Weekday and Saturday appointments give clients more options for managing the frequent visits MeRT can require. The center accepts most insurance plans, including Medicare, for depression and OCD, while clients generally self-pay for other conditions.
