TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) at Sprout Recovery in Fort Myers, FL is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain areas involved in mood. It is FDA-cleared for treatment-resistant depression (2008) and, alongside standard care, for OCD (2018). You stay awake, with no anesthesia and no downtime, and TMS is available on its own, with no program enrollment required.
What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation uses magnetic pulses, similar in strength to an MRI machine, to stimulate the areas of your brain involved in regulating mood. It does not involve surgery, anesthesia or medication. It's FDA-cleared for depression, and increasingly used for anxiety too — see our piece onTMS for anxietyfor how that works.
No incision, no implant — it sits against your head during the session.
Aimed at the part of your brain tied to mood regulation.
A full course is a series of sessions, not a single visit.
Conditions TMS Treats
FDA-cleared for depression that has not responded well enough to medication or therapy alone.
A separate, later FDA clearance — used alongside standard OCD care, not in place of it.
TMS is not currently FDA-approved for anxiety. If anxiety is what you are dealing with, our team can talk through the options that are appropriate for it, including therapy-based approaches and, where relevant, Neurofeedback.

No anesthesia, no sedation, from the first session to the last.
You may feel tapping and mild scalp discomfort early on.
You can talk, read, or just sit. Nothing to recover from.

Call (239) 402-7152What is TMS therapy?
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of your brain involved in mood regulation. It is non-invasive — you are awake and seated in a chair for the entire session, with no anesthesia and no sedation involved.
What does TMS actually treat?
TMS is FDA-cleared specifically for treatment-resistant depression, meaning depression that has not responded well enough to medication or therapy alone. It also has its own separate FDA clearance for OCD, as an adjunct to standard OCD care.
Is TMS approved for anxiety?
TMS is not currently FDA-approved for anxiety. If anxiety is what you are dealing with, our team can talk through the treatment options that are appropriate for it, including therapy-based approaches and, where relevant, Neurofeedback.
Is TMS painful, or will I need recovery time afterward?
No anesthesia or sedation is involved, and most people drive themselves home and continue their day right after a session. Some people notice mild scalp discomfort during treatment, which typically eases as sessions continue.
Do I need to have tried medication first to be a candidate for TMS?
TMS was developed specifically for people who have tried medication, often more than one, without enough relief, so if that is your situation, TMS may be a strong fit. Our team will talk through your specific history with you rather than applying a blanket rule.
Do I need to be enrolled in a program to get TMS?
No — TMS is available as a standalone service. You do not need to be enrolled in High Support or Moderate Support to access it.
Does insurance cover TMS?
Medicare is accepted specifically for TMS. Coverage under commercial insurance plans varies, so our admissions team will verify your specific benefits and walk you through what is covered before you commit to anything.
Can TMS be combined with other treatments, like Neurofeedback?
Yes — for many people, TMS and Neurofeedback work well together. We will help you understand what combination makes sense based on what you are working through.
