Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Therapy in Rockford, MN

Advanced, Non-Medication Treatment for Depression, Anxiety, and OCD

What Is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, anxiety processing, and cognitive control. TMS is completely drug-free, does not require anesthesia, and allows individuals to return to daily activities immediately after each session.

Many people describe TMS as “physical therapy for the brain.” Rather than altering brain chemistry system-wide like medications, TMS works by directly targeting underactive or dysregulated neural networks associated with depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms.

At our Rockford, Minnesota clinic, TMS is delivered within an integrated behavioral health model, allowing coordination with therapy and medication management when clinically appropriate.
