NeuroStim - Seattle

Located in Seattle's Northgate area, NeuroStim TMS in Seattle 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 thoughtfully 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.

Targeted Brain Stimulation for Depression

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. While treatment varies by individual, a typical course involves 20–30 sessions, scheduled 5 days a week over 4–6 weeks, with each appointment lasting approximately 20–30 minutes. Throughout their care, patients can continue seeing their existing therapists or prescribing providers.

Supporting Patients Beyond Treatment Sessions

Patients begin with a free initial consultation to review their symptoms, treatment history, and eligibility for TMS. NeuroStim's team helps guide patients through insurance verification, coverage approvals, and questions before treatment begins. During each session, patients sit comfortably while a magnetic coil delivers targeted pulses to the brain. Since TMS requires no recovery time, patients can typically drive themselves home, return to work, or spend time with family afterward. Between appointments, they can also explore the trails at Beaver Pond Natural Area, join activities at Northgate Community Center, or connect with neighbors through Haller Lake Community Club while maintaining their daily routines.
