TMS Treatment at Child & Adolescent Psychiatry
Available to Patients and Non-Patients
Anyone in New Jersey interested in TMS therapy – teens, parents, or referring clinicians – can begin with a brief screening.
What Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)?
TMS is a non-invasive, medication-free treatment that uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain involved in mood regulation. It is:
- FDA-approved for major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Non-systemic (no medication enters the bloodstream)
- Non-surgical with no anesthesia needed
- Safe for daily activities before and after treatment
- Well-tolerated by teens and adults
TMS has helped thousands of people across New Jersey who did not receive adequate improvement from antidepressants or who prefer a non-pharmacological approach to treatment.
NeuroStar TMS Therapy at Our Cherry Hill Clinic
Our practice uses NeuroStar – the leading TMS technology in the U.S., known for its precision targeting and strong clinical outcomes. NeuroStar has been featured in multiple psychiatric journals, including Psychiatric Times, for its effectiveness in adolescent depression.
– Non-invasive, meaning that it does not involve surgery. It does not require any anesthesia or sedation, as the patient remains awake and alert during the treatment.
– Non-systemic, meaning that it is not taken by mouth and does not circulate in the bloodstream throughout the body.
Is TMS Therapy Right for You?
TMS therapy can be an excellent option for individuals who have not found meaningful relief through traditional treatments or who prefer a non-medication approach. At our Cherry Hill clinic, patients typically explore NeuroStar TMS for one or more of the following reasons:
You’ve tried antidepressants without enough improvement.
Some individuals experience only partial relief from antidepressant medications or cannot tolerate the side effects. TMS provides a treatment path that does not involve additional medication changes.
Your symptoms interfere with daily functioning.
People who seek TMS often report persistent symptoms such as low motivation, difficulty concentrating, loss of interest, or increased anxiety in day-to-day activities.
You prefer a non-invasive, non-systemic treatment.
Because TMS does not involve medication entering the bloodstream, many patients choose it as an alternative to adding or adjusting prescriptions.
You’re looking for evidence-based treatment for adolescent depression.
Our clinic offers FDA-cleared TMS therapy for teens aged 15 and older. This can be especially helpful for adolescents who have not responded well to therapy alone or who wish to avoid starting multiple medications.
You want a treatment that fits into daily life.
With no required downtime and no cognitive impairment, TMS is appealing for students, professionals, and parents who need a treatment schedule that doesn’t disrupt school, work, or family responsibilities.
Evaluation With Our Clinical Team
Before beginning a treatment plan, every patient meets with a psychiatrist who specializes in TMS to review symptoms, medical history, treatment goals, and any safety considerations. This ensures that each person receives an individualized plan designed to support meaningful and lasting improvement.
