TMS & neurofeedback candidacy

Am I a candidate for TMS or neurofeedback?

Sprout is a primary mental health provider. Most people who ask us this have been in treatment for a while and want to know what is left to try.

If this is a medical emergency, call 911. For a mental health or suicide crisis, call or text 988.

The two options

TMS vs. Neurofeedback: How They Differ

Which one fits usually comes down to what you have already tried.

TMS therapy

When medication has not worked

Magnetic pulses to the part of the brain involved in mood regulation. Non-invasive, no anaesthetic. FDA-cleared for depression, not for anxiety.

Neurofeedback

When regulation is the problem

Sensors read your brain activity and feed it back to you in real time, so your brain gradually learns to settle itself. Nothing is sent into you, and nothing invasive is involved.

What to Expect in a Session

The part nobody explains until you are already in the chair.

20
Minutes, five days a week
Twenty minutes in a chair

In a reclining chair, awake, in your own clothes. No sedation and no needles.

Most people bring headphones and treat it as twenty minutes to themselves.

What to expect

How to Get Started

01
The consultation

Free, 45 to 60 minutes. Never billed.

02
Screening

This is where which one gets answered.

03
The first weeks

TMS runs about 20 minutes, five days a week. Neurofeedback runs about 30 minutes, inside your program day.

04
Review together

Adjust, keep going or stop. It stays your call.

Outpatient only, focused on High Support, Moderate Support, and Ongoing Support. Detox, residential treatment, and medication-assisted treatment sit outside that scope — call and we'll point you somewhere trusted if that's what you need first.

“A long-time depression sufferer described a dramatic shift from persistent suicidal ideation to genuine hope and positive thinking after completing a course of TMS treatment, crediting the staff’s warmth as much as the treatment itself.”

“I recommend trying the neurofeedback, it helped relieve my anxiety. The staff listened to me without judgment and we created a plan that would best support me.”

“I called to get information on the TMS that they offer. Very knowledgeable, friendly and answered all my questions. She didn’t push for me to make an appointment and called a week after to check up on me.”

Do I need a diagnosis to be assessed?

No. You do not need an addiction diagnosis either. Bring what you have tried and we will work out where you fit.

Can I do this without stopping work?

Yes. TMS runs in about 20 minutes and neurofeedback sits inside your program day, so most people keep working.

Does insurance cover it?

We work with most major commercial carriers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Tricare, Magellan, Carelon, ComPsych, MultiPlan and Optum. Medicare is accepted for general outpatient only, never High Support or Moderate Support. Our admissions team will verify your specific benefits before you commit to anything.

Can I have both?

Sometimes. TMS can run on its own or alongside your care, and neurofeedback comes with High Support and Moderate Support. We will say which order makes sense.

I just left residential care. Is this the next step?

Often, yes. This is the step-down most people cannot find, real treatment without putting your life on hold.
