NeuroStim - Federal Way

Located in the Federal Way-Auburn area, NeuroStim TMS in Federal Way brings noninvasive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy to adults seeking relief from depression and other mental health conditions, particularly those whose symptoms persist despite traditional treatment. Under medical director supervision, trained TMS specialists tailor care for adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), treatment-resistant depression (TRD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety, postpartum depression, and other mood disorders. The outpatient clinic uses FDA-approved TMS treatment for depression without requiring hospitalization or sedation. NeuroStim also discusses TMS for veterans, military families, and pregnant women who may qualify following a medical assessment.

Stimulating Brain Areas That Regulate Mood

During treatment, patients receive targeted magnetic pulses that stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood and emotional regulation. Unlike medication, TMS is non-systemic, meaning it does not circulate through the bloodstream. Patients remain awake and alert throughout each session without needing anesthesia or sedation. NeuroStim's current treatment guidance describes a typical course of 36 sessions over 6–9 weeks, with appointments lasting approximately 15–20 minutes. Throughout their care, patients can continue seeing their existing therapists or prescribing providers.

Exploring Nature Between Treatment Sessions

Patients begin with a free phone consultation to discuss their symptoms, treatment history, and eligibility for TMS. NeuroStim's team helps patients navigate insurance verification and questions before treatment begins. During each session, patients sit comfortably while a magnetic coil delivers targeted pulses to the brain. With no recovery time required, they can typically drive home or return to work afterward. Between appointments, patients can explore Soos Creek Botanical Garden in Auburn, admire bonsai at Federal Way's Pacific Rim Bonsai Collection, or visit the 22-acre Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden.
