Now offering TMS treatments for children and adolescents. Click here to learn more.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) is an advanced therapy which uses a targeted, pulsed magnetic field, similar to what is used in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machine. The pulses, produced through a NeuroStar FDA approved device, are delivered directly to the specific area of the brain involved in depression.
Embracing Life Wellness Center is proud to offer NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) at our offices in Riverview and Tampa, Florida. Dr. Fickey and her staff are excited to offer this profoundly effective treatment to the community and their patients.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) stimulates areas of the brain that are underactive in individuals with depressive symptoms during 19-minute treatment sessions. Unlike medications that are dispersed throughout the entire body, this is a targeted treatment for depression without the common side effects caused by medications.
After someone has failed two or more antidepressant medications, the chance of getting to remission is significantly low in comparison to the response and remission rates NeuroStar offers.
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy (TMS) is not electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and it is covered under insurance policies. Contact us today to set up a consultation to begin achieving full remission of your symptoms.

Please note, if you have reports you wish to give to the doctor it is your responsibility to make copies of those reports prior to your appointment. We are unable to make copies for you. If the patient is under the age of 18, we require that at least one parent or legal guardian accompany them to the appointment. If you are not a biological parent we will need a court ordered document signed by a judge or birth certificate listed you as the legal guardian. We also ask that you only bring the child for whom the appointment is scheduled to our office. Please make arrangements for other minor children to be cared for while you attend this appointment.

The NeuroStar Advanced Therapy System is intended to be used as an adjunct for the treatment of adult patients suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).

NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is only available by prescription. A doctor can help decide if NeuroStar Advanced Therapy is right for you. Patients’ results may vary.
The most common side effect is pain or discomfort at or near the treatment site. These events are transient; they occur during the TMS treatment course and do not occur for most patients after the first week of treatment. There is a rare risk of seizure associated with the use of TMS therapy (<0.1% per patient).
NeuroStar Advanced Therapy should not be used with patients who have non-removable conductive metal in or near the head. NeuroStar Advanced Therapy has not been studied in patients who have not received prior antidepressant treatment.
