The Evidence

The question everyone asks: does it last?

In June 2026, the first multisite randomized controlled trial on the long-term outcomes of the SWIFT™ accelerated Deep TMS protocol reported durability that answers it directly.

The Experience

Care that feels as considered as the science.

The old way is twenty minutes in the chair across nine weeks. Ours is three minutes, accelerated, and handled like a concierge medical experience — discretion, calm, and a single person who knows your name.

Led by our board-certified medical director, who personally designs every protocol, using BrainsWay Deep TMS — the same FDA-cleared device used in the SWIFT™ trial.
  1. 01

    A private, unhurried intake

    One point of contact. No waiting rooms full of clipboards. We learn your story, review your history, and design your protocol.

  2. 02

    Three minutes in the chair

    A focused magnetic pulse — drug-free, no sedation, no recovery. Shorter than your coffee order. You sit back, then you leave.

  3. 03

    An accelerated course

    The protocol is compressed into days, not nine weeks of daily visits. For out-of-town patients, a four-day fly-in intensive.

  4. 04

    You leave different

    No medication fog. No ketamine haze. No impairment. You walk out and go straight back to your life.

Why Brain Centers

A magnet, not a molecule.

Four advantages that compound — depth of device, speed, comfort, and a philosophy that refuses to make you fail the cheap options first.

01

Three minutes, not twenty

Accelerated theta-burst sessions. Same brain, a fraction of the time — which is what makes a four-day intensive even possible.

02

Easier to complete

More comfortable, easier to tolerate, easier to finish. Tolerability is the quiet driver of completion — and completion is the driver of outcomes.

03

By far the most effective

The accelerated protocol is the strongest approach we offer — backed by SWIFT™ durability data out to twelve months.

04

We start with what works

No medication carousel. No “let’s try one more pill.” We don’t burn years of your life and thousands of dollars to arrive at the most effective treatment — we begin there.

The medicine cabinet  vs  the brain center

One asks you to swallow something and wait. The other is a three-minute magnetic pulse you sit under, then walk out.

The medicine cabinet

6–8 weeks · maybe

A molecule, and a wait.

  • SSRIs: a modest effect, side-effects, weeks to “maybe.”
  • Ketamine: dissociation, the haze, repeat dosing.
  • The carousel: try one, fail, try another — years pass.
  • You’re left still mostly depressed.

The brain center

3:00 · then walk out

A magnet, and three minutes.

  • A drug-free magnetic pulse — FDA-cleared (510(k)) device.
  • No drug, no high. You stay yourself.
  • We start with the most effective treatment first.
  • For most patients, the goal is simple: from depressed, to not depressed anymore. Results vary.

“It doesn’t care what language you speak, what color you are, or your zip code. It helps your brain.”

Who It’s For

One machine. Many ways back to yourself.

Four focused days

Block four days in San Diego, treat intensively on the accelerated protocol, and go straight back to your life. Discretion, a single point of contact, no record of a prescription. Most patients leave different than they arrived — results vary.

Served you. Now we serve you.

No drugs, no couch, no waitlist — a magnet, three minutes. For PTSD, particularly the depression that so often rides with it. Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD; for PTSD we treat the comorbid depression, which is where the evidence and TRICARE coverage apply. Covered by TRICARE for major depressive disorder (with prior authorization) — we verify your coverage before you commit.

Conditions We Treat

Where traditional treatment hasn’t delivered relief.

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD — the conditions that most often resist medication. For PTSD, we treat the comorbid depression, where the evidence and coverage apply.

Depression
Including treatment-resistant major depressive disorder.
Anxiety
Anxious depression and the constant, low-grade hum of it.
PTSD
For the replays that won’t stop at 3am — and the depression that rides shotgun with it. Deep TMS is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder, anxious depression, and OCD; for PTSD we treat the comorbid depression, which is where the evidence and TRICARE coverage apply.
OCD
FDA-cleared Deep TMS for obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Real people. Real outcomes.

Depression recovery
I had struggled with depression for years, and nothing seemed to work. Brain Centers gave me hope when I felt like I had none left.

The 30-Second Check

Could this be the way out for you?

Before you book a thing, see if it even fits. If any of these sound like you, a private consultation is worth the conversation.

  • A medication “kind of” worked — or didn’t work at all.
  • You’re tired of the trial-and-error and the months it costs.
  • You want the most-effective treatment first, not last.
  • You’re a veteran or family member looking for a drug-free option.

This isn’t a diagnosis — it’s a starting point. Your consultation tells you honestly if Deep TMS is likely to help you. Results vary.
