For the qEEG (brain scan), we fit a cap on your head to record the brain’s electrical activity and identify any areas with irregular function. For the EKG, we place an electrode on your chest to capture the heart’s electrical signals and assess the coherence between the brain and heart.
What is rTMS?
EEG-Guided Repetitive TMS, Explained
Our Treatment uses gentle magnetic waves to stimulate unused or blocked pathways in the brain.
What is EEG guided rTMS?
An Effective Treatment for a Wide Range of Neurological Conditions
Each person’s brain is unique. No one’s electrical activity, brain waves, or thought patterns are like anyone else’s. Our treatment process is so innovative because we customize the treatment protocol for each person.
This technology reprograms abnormal electrical signals and pathways in the patient’s brain. It is an emerging, non-pharmaceutical, and non-invasive technology.
We use an individualized approach by obtaining a qEEG, a study that measures the pattern of electrical signals and brain waves in the patient’s brain. The results tell us what is functioning normally in the brain and also show us where dysregulation is occurring.
We use this information to create a precision TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment protocol. This technology uses a magnetic coil on the scalp to send electrical signals back into the brain in a way that reorganizes the signals and pathways.
Doing this simulates and organizes the function of neurons back into a normal pattern. This process is called neuromodulation.

Experience The Healing Power Of rTMS
Better connectivity and better brain communication means improved brain function.
Gentle Magnetic Waves
With rTMS treatment, there is no pain. We only use magnetic waves for stimulation.
Customized Treatment
We use brain scans and diagnostics to tailor treatment for each person.
Completely Non-Invasive
We use no electricity or penetration of the head. Just magnetic waves.
Drug-Free Therapy
Treatment does not involve the use of medications or anesthetics.
What Makes us Different
This may be the Answer you are Looking for!
Our EEG guided rTMS is an advanced treatment technique that builds upon the foundations of TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) but offers a more customized approach.
While TMS has long been used to address brain dysregulation, it typically follows a standardized method that targets only one brain area with a single frequency, which may not be ideal for every patient.
In contrast, our protocol enhances TMS by incorporating a detailed quantitative EEG/EKG analysis to identify the specific brain areas affected and the extent of the dysregulation.
This allows for a highly individualized treatment plan tailored to address each patient’s unique needs, making our treatment a more precise and personalized alternative to traditional TMS.
What is EEG Guided rTMS
Our Treatment Explained
rTMS, guided by advanced EEG imaging, uses a magnetic coil to gently stimulate and rebalance brain function.
The process begins with a quantitative EEG (qEEG) to identify areas of brain dysregulation. This test provides a detailed view of the brain’s wave patterns and overall function.
Then, based on this analysis, our doctors and scientists develop a precise neural synchronization protocol for each patient. The goal is to enhance communication within the brain, which can lead to significant clinical improvements.
After the qEEG and analysis, we then perform Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an FDA-cleared treatment for Depression. TMS works by using magnetic fields, delivered through an electromagnetic coil, to modulate brain activity.
However, our treatment takes TMS technology a step further by customizing the treatment to each patient’s unique condition, diagnostic findings, and qEEG results. This includes tailoring the frequency, location, and power of the stimulation for optimal results.
Most treatment plans last between 4 and 8 weeks, with daily appointments from Monday to Friday lasting about 30 minutes. Many patients begin noticing positive changes within the first week. And those treated for Depression rarely need follow-up sessions after completing the therapy.
Some of the Many Benefits Patients Have Gotten After Treatment
Here are some of the more common benefits that have resulted from our treatment protocol
- Better quality and quantity of sleep
- Increased relaxation
- Improved concentration and focus
- Improved mental clarity and memory
- Better mood
- Greater ability to cope with stress
- Improved sociability
- More motivation
- Greater attention span
- Fewer cravings (drugs and alcohol)
- Enhanced emotional stability
- Improved ability to adapt to changes
- Increased self-esteem and confidence
Our treatment focuses on the specific areas of your brain that are experiencing dysregulation and through the course of treatment, improves communication and function.

EEG-Guided TMS is based on many years of independent, published Research Studies
Our treatment is a highly customized version of rTMS [repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation].
The science and protocols of EEG Guided rTMS are based on 20 years of authoritative research published in some of the most prestigious scientific journals. You can see a compilation of many of these with key excerpts here…
Our PROCESS
Steps to Take
To find out if our clinic is the right choice for you or your child, contact our New Patient Coordinator. She can provide detailed information about the treatment, protocols, costs, and payment options.
If you decide to proceed, we will schedule your initial two appointments. The first is for a non-invasive brain scan, and the second is a consultation with the doctor to discuss the scan results and potential benefits of treatment.
01
Initial Testing
02
Consultation
Following the qEEG/EKG will be a consultation with our doctor, either in person or virtually. During this meeting, we will review your test results, explain the treatment protocols, address any questions you might have, and discuss the potential benefits of treatment.
03
Treatment
If you move forward with treatment, the first week of treatment will consist of 45 minutes each day for five days, Monday through Friday. The second week of treatment will last for four days, Monday through Thursday, followed by new testing on Friday.
04
Assessment
Most courses of treatment run for about 6 weeks with a new brain scan done every two weeks to assess progress and to continue to customize treatment for best results. Tailored treatment protocols are what help make our protocol even more effective than rTMS.
Talk with our New Patient Coordinator
We have seen some incredible results with EEG Guided rTMS for Autism. It’s possible you may feel frustrated and uncertain about the best course of treatment. We can at least help by providing you with as much information as you would like about this treatment.
Our protocol has helped many restore or improve their brain function and reclaim their lives. We want to help you make an educated decision about whether or not this treatment is right for you or your loved one.
Our New Patient Coordinator can answer any questions you have, explain costs and protocols, and can also assist in getting you scheduled for testing and a consultation with the doctor if you would like to explore further.
Insurance Coverage
Currently, rTMS is FDA-cleared for treatment of Depression and OCD. If you think you may be able to file for reimbursement from insurance, we can provide you with the documentation you will need to do so. Please note that neither Medicare or Medicaid provide any coverage for TMS treatment.
