What Our Clients are Saying:

I have lived for more than 30 years with the constant burden of clinical depression. Drugs help, but they have never been as effective for me as for others. TMS reduced my depression at least as effectively as multiple medications and can be used at the same time. The reduction in symptoms is long-term after treatment ends, and for some patients it is permanent.
For the first time in over two decades I have hope I can actually get better, and may even reach a point of not requiring medication to function. Highly recommend, both the business and the treatment.

I recently have complete their newest offering of NeuroStar TMS treatment. A non-invasive treatment used to treat depression symptoms. I will be the first to say, it works. From where I was when I started to today my last initial session (36 total) is almost night and day. The entire TMS team at Mental Edge are supportive, educated, fun, and overall genuine in helping those who are interested. From Matt and Hunter doing the initial intake, Hunter doing some sessions of treatment, and eventually Doug and Bridgette doing the sessions, the atmosphere was great. Completely laid back, no anxiousness at all. With their assistance and the work of my own self, the “new old” me is thrilled to be back.
I highly recommend this treatment for anyone who is suffering from depressive symptoms. Great team even more amazing and caring personalities.

I recently finished the TMS treatment program, and it's honestly made a difference for me. At first it's uncomfortable, yeah, but once you get used to it the session's just another part of your routine. Everyone involved in the program is great, they're all very understanding and supportive. The big thing for me is the change in my depression and anxiety, which I'll describe a bit further down. It's not a cure. Nothing will completely erase what you're going through. But it can help make things a lot easier moving forward, and that's the important part. If you're considering, it's worth giving a shot in my opinion.
Everything in general has gotten lighter and brighter. Easier to carry, easier to see. Bad days aren't large, dark, thundering storms covering the sky and drowning out any light or warmth. Now the clouds are a lighter medium gray, the day feels a bit cold but not freezing, the lights are dull and washed but still clearly there.
Anxiety isn't a constant balloon in my chest that's stretched too big and still too tight and flattens my lungs and heart. It's a solid rock that's heavy in my chest, but staying in a spot that doesn't hurt to breathe, and crumbles apart by itself much easier and faster than before.
It's helped more than I expected. And I'm so grateful to the people who made it happen. And if you do the treatments, I hope it can help you too.

I have had the remarkable opportunity to receive TMS treatment here, and it has been life changing. My provider explained the process clearly, made each session comfortable, and monitored my progress closely. His knowledge and practical strategies helped me manage anxiety and depression in ways I had not been able to before. The procedure itself has changed the way I perceive and react to obstacles in my life, and for the first time in a long time, I feel genuine joy, hope and see a path forward again.
Overall, the providers and staff at Mental Edge Counseling create an environment where you feel supported every step of the way. It has been an exceptional experience and I highly recommend Mental Edge Counseling.~Alice, Mental Edge TMS Client
Frequently Asked Questions
-
⤷ Yes! Most major insurance providers cover TMS when medical criteria are met. Our team handles all benefit checks, authorizations, and required documentation on the client’s behalf.
-
Major Depressive Disorder diagnosis (F32.2 or F33.2)
Supporting information of said diagnosis (PHQ9 scores, clinical notes, etc)
least 3 failed medication trials of 2 or more antidepressant classifications
*As long as the provider or client provides a complete medication record, the Mental Edge care team can normally gather enough information in the TMS Intake session to submit for insurance authorization.
-
⤷ The client’s medication record will be required in order to complete our benefits investigation. Other documents supporting a Major Depressive Disorder diagnosis, such as clinical notes, are helpful but not required.
-
⤷ TMS uses focused magnetic pulses (similar in strength to an MRI), to revitalize underactive areas of the brain involved in regulating mood. When these regions are underactive, depression / OCD can result. “Waking up” these regions can have a lasting effect on depression, making long-term remission from depression / OCD a reality for many people.
-
⤷ Most people describe TMS as a light tapping sensation on the scalp. Some may feel mild discomfort during the first few sessions, but this typically fades within the first week as your body adjusts.
-
⤷ Yes. Most patients stay on their current medications throughout treatment unless advised otherwise by their prescribing provider. TMS can be used alone or alongside medication.
-
⤷ A typical treatment plan includes 36 sessions (3-5x / week) that each last between 19-37 minutes. Completing the full treatment with as many consecutive sessions as possible is essential for lasting efficacy.
-
