St. George City: Transform Your Mental Health

Living with depression can drain your energy, dull your interests, and take away the sense of well-being that makes life feel meaningful. But you don’t have to stay stuck in that place. Many people try medication, therapy, or other traditional treatments and still don’t experience the relief they hoped for. If that sounds familiar, it may be time to explore a different path. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that has helped people find fast-acting relief when other treatments haven’t worked.

At Brain Health Center, we’ve created a supportive space for patients seeking TMS therapy in St. George and beyond. Here, you can experience accelerated TMS in a calm, caring environment created to help you feel better, faster.

It’s Time To Heal: What Is TMS Therapy?

TMS is a non-invasive therapy that stimulates specific areas in the brain tied to mood regulation. It’s FDA-approved for treating major depressive disorder and is often chosen when medications haven’t provided relief, or when someone prefers a treatment option that doesn’t involve daily pills or their potential side effects.

How TMS Works

TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses to gently stimulate regions of the brain that tend to be underactive in people with depression, particularly areas responsible for mood regulation and executive functioning. These pulses help “wake up” neural pathways and improve communication between different parts of the brain, which over time can lead to noticeable improvement in depression symptoms.

Types of TMS

There are three main types of TMS treatments. Depending on your needs and how your brain responds, different protocols may be used during treatment:

  • Standard rTMS: Delivers repetitive magnetic pulses at a steady pace during longer sessions.
  • iTBS (Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation): A newer, faster method using bursts of pulses for shorter treatment times.
  • Deep TMS: Uses specialized coils to reach deeper brain cells, often used when traditional TMS hasn’t been effective.

Each method is non-invasive and can be adjusted based on your response to treatment. 

Safety and Side-Effects

TMS is generally considered safe for most adults and adolescents with treatment-resistant depression when performed by a licensed medical provider. The most common side effects include mild scalp discomfort or a tapping sensation during treatment, which usually fades over time. There’s no anesthesia involved, so most people are able to return to their regular activities immediately after each session.

What Disqualifies You From TMS?

You may be disqualified from receiving TMS if you:

  • Have a non-removable metal in or around the head (such as cochlear implants)
  • Have a history of seizures
  • Are currently pregnant
  • Have a history of psychosis or unmanaged bipolar disorder (due to the potential risk of triggering manic episodes)

These factors don’t automatically rule out TMS, but they do require a careful medical assessment. Your provider will assess your full health history to determine if TMS is a safe and appropriate option.

 

What To Expect From Our Five-Day TMS Therapy at St. George

Treatment Schedule: 50 Sessions, Five Days

Our accelerated protocol delivers 50 short sessions over five consecutive days; 10 sessions each day, with rest breaks in between. Each session lasts around 10 minutes allowing you to complete a full, impactful course of treatment in just one week rather than stretching it out over several weeks or months.

A Typical Day

During a typical treatment day at our TMS St. George clinic, you’ll check in each morning, settle into your private suite, and complete a block of sessions with short breaks in between. Throughout the day, our team stays in touch to make sure you’re feeling well. There’s no anesthesia or recovery period, so once your sessions are done, you’re free to relax at the center, return to your accommodations, or explore St. George.

Will Insurance Pay for TMS Therapy?

Some insurance plans in Utah, including those from major providers, do cover TMS therapy for patients who meet specific criteria. Coverage often depends on your diagnosis history, past treatment attempts, and plan details. We’re happy to verify benefits, explain your options, and help with the paperwork. If your plan doesn’t cover treatment or you prefer to self-pay, we also offer flexible payment plans and limited financial aid for qualifying patients.

Results, Outcome & Aftercare

Our mission is to give every patient a supportive experience that genuinely helps improve their mental health. That’s why your care doesn’t end when the five-day treatment wraps; we continue to walk alongside you in the weeks and months that follow, helping you make the most of your progress and stay on track.

What to expect in results

Everyone responds to TMS on their own timeline, which means that results can vary from person to person. Some patients feel relief after just a few sessions, while others notice gradual improvement over several weeks. Most report ongoing symptom reduction during the months following treatment.

Follow-up and monitoring

After your final session, we continue checking in regularly through text surveys for three months to track progress and provide support. You’ll also have access to free consults with our provider, where we can discuss next steps, complementary therapies, or maintenance TMS sessions if needed.

Strategies and lifestyle support

Our providers will share practical strategies to help you maintain your treatment results. This might include adjusting sleep habits, eating regularly to stabilize energy and mood, moving your body in ways that feel good, and staying connected to a therapist or trusted support system.

Long-term maintenance

We stay available if you ever feel symptoms returning or want to schedule follow-up sessions. Some patients find that a few maintenance treatments each year help them feel more balanced. We’ll work with you to create a plan that fits your needs and keeps your mental health a priority.
