Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS)
Katie's Way uses a new technology called Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or dTMS. Deep TMS, a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. This technology targets deep brain structures associated with various mental health conditions. With a success rate of 45–50%, Deep TMS can significantly improve symptoms, offering hope to those who haven’t responded to traditional treatments. It’s safe, well-tolerated, and performed in an outpatient setting, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after each session. In addition to dTMS, Katie's Way Plus offers services like Exposure Therapy, and the Remote 24 program, a monitoring program where patients are tracked from anywhere, by the help of a wearable device to monitor and aid from afar.
