If you’re considering TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) therapy for depression or OCD in the Denver area, experience matters.
The doctors and staff at TMS Center of Colorado were the first to offer TMS in Colorado. We were the first to offer Brainsway Deep TMS, a more powerful treatment compared with standard TMS that enables that magnetic pulse to reach deeper into the brain. These deeper (limbic) areas of the brain impact mood regulation and motivation, which are commonly negatively affected in patients who are depressed. We were also the first in Colorado to offer the Accelerated TMS Protocol.
TMS treatment is safe, and FDA cleared to treat depression and/or OCD. It is used off-label to treat other disorders, such as general anxiety disorder, migraines and to assist with smoking cessation.
TMS was initially recommended for patients who were resistant to medication. However, it is now also a preferred option for those who do not wish to be on antidepressants and experience their possible side effects such as weight gain, loss of sleep, lessened libido or fogged thinking.
Accelerated TMS is a more intensive form of TMS therapy, characterized by 10 treatments per day over a 5-day period. Compared to standard TMS, Accelerated TMS achieves a higher remission rate (up to 90% versus up to 78%) in a shorter period of time (1-2 weeks versus 6-8 weeks). This treatment is well tolerated by patients and safe. If you have questions about Accelerated TMS, please call us!
Many TMS treatments are covered by insurance and cost about the same. Why not choose the center that offers the greatest amount of experience and a more powerful Deep TMS system? Doing so can improve your overall results and save you time. For your convenience, we offer the same Brainsway Deep TMS at both our Denver and Lakewood, Colorado offices.
We also offer the expertise of 5 compassionate, caring psychiatrists who are highly experienced in evaluating patients for TMS therapy and supervising their treatment. You can learn more about our doctors by clicking here.

TMS works. It has alleviated my clinical depression. I am grateful I found TMS.
TMS has been by far the most effective remedy for my treatment resistant depression. The staff at TMS Center of Colorado are all extraordinarily kind and caring through every step of treatment. They are easy to work with, pleasant, friendly, and fully invested in their patients. I can’t recommend TMS Center of Colorado highly enough.
The staff at TMS Center of Colorado is awesome! They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and accommodate my scheduling needs.
The care and service of the technicians was great. They are very caring throughout the treatment.
I’ve been to many TMS Centers for treatment around the country. This center was the best experience I’ve had due to the professionalism and
technical know-how of doctors and technicians.
I came to TMS Center of Colorado for severe depression. Medications and therapy did not work for me for over five years. I am now, after completing dTMS, in a much better place than where I started. I got significantly better results with dTMS than I ever did with medication.”
I feel like I have become a much stronger person through TMS. I feel stronger emotionally and feel like I can handle stress much better. Before TMS, I was falling apart over every little thing. Now I feel I can handle whatever comes my way, whatever challenges I must face. The staff at the TMS Center are professional and attentive and very caring. They have helped to make this an extremely positive experience.”
I had a very positive experience with TMS Center of Colorado. Dr. Weiner and the rest of the staff were warm, accommodating, and truly seemed to care about both my comfort level with the treatment as well as how I was doing more generally. For a treatment that takes time, I really appreciate the level of flexibility the staff had accommodating my scheduling needs and preferences. My depression lifted and I feel more hopeful about and excited for where life takes me next.
All the staff were very kind and accommodating – especially Dr. Menninger, Kate, Cameron, Misty and Beatrice. I appreciate that they took the time to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Thank you to all of the staff! I appreciated the care provided by all 6 of the staff that provided my treatment. All the staff were so kind and checked to make sure I was comfortable during each treatment session. The accelerated treatment is such a gift – especially if you have a career/job that makes it hard to get away daily or have to travel to have access to TMS. I highly recommend TMS Center of Colorado!
The staff is there to take care of you. They truly do care about your progress. They check in often to make sure you’re physically, mentally, and emotionally supported.
TMS has provided some much needed relief from pervasive symptoms of depression no other treatment has been able to achieve. Highly recommend!
Greatly enjoyed my experience and would recommend others to give it a shot.
The staff at the TMS Center of Colorado were nothing but kind and accommodating during the duration of my treatment. I was made to feel as comfortable as possible during every session, and never felt like my comfort was secondary to treatment.
I cannot think of much in the way of improving the experience. Found it to be very friendly, personable, and professional. I found everyone here very enjoyable and genuinely interested and concerned in my progress and general well-being. It was a very positive experience and I found the treatment itself to be quite helpful in improving my day to day life.”
This treatment definitely helped improve my quality of life. After being in a really rough spot with my depression, this was the final option before resorting to electroshock therapy. Thankfully this treatment has greatly helped with my depression.
When I first started TMS I was hopeful, but still very skeptical. I’ve struggled with depression for over 20 years and have had some reprieves throughout but have always relied on medication to get me to a baseline where I felt moderately functional. After years of increasing dosage and trying new medications I found myself still falling into deep depressions, I was starting to feel more and more hopeless. I first heard about TMS several years ago and thought there was no way that magnetic stimulation could help where chemicals and years of therapy couldn’t. But as years went by and my depression worsened I began having personal encounters with people who had great success with TMS and finally became open to trying it. I’m so grateful that I ended up at TMS Center of Colorado. At first I was worried because I didn’t notice improvement but a little more than halfway through things started to change. After that point I felt improvements continue as treatment progressed, feelings of hopelessness began to disappear, my energy increased, I became more interested in people and things that I enjoy, my focus improved! I don’t know if the changes are permanent or not, but even if they are relatively short lived it is all worth it to me because I feel better than I ever have.
Signing up for TMS was a leap of faith that I could feel better and get back to the things I enjoy. At the end of treatment, I have already resumed doing many of the hobbies and activities that make me happy. It was a calculated risk that really paid off. I would not hesitate to do it again, if needed, and use TMS Center of Colorado, which seemed more professional than other providers I considered.
