Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

A modern, non-invasive treatment for depression, anxiety disorders and other conditions - no anesthesia required, performed on an outpatient basis.

The Path to Treatment

TMS Therapy Process

1

Initial Consultation

Diagnosis, medical history review, and determination of individual stimulation targets.

2

First Session

Determination of motor threshold (approximately 60 minutes).

3

Follow-up Sessions

Regular treatments of approximately 20 minutes duration.

4

Therapy Cycle

Weekday treatments over 2-3 weeks.

Costs & Insurance

Private health insurance often covers the costs, depending on the specific plan.

For patients with statutory health insurance, self-payment is currently usually required.

Upon request, I can provide cost estimates or justifications for insurance coverage applications.

Integrative Treatment Approach

In my practice, I work with a holistic concept that combines TMS with other treatment methods:

  • Psychotherapy
  • Medication management
  • Sleep and pain medicine
  • Neurological diagnostics

TMS is a modern, safe, and scientifically well-established procedure - especially effective when conventional therapies have not been sufficiently helpful.
