At Stone River Behavioral Health in Holmdel, New Jersey, we are dedicated to providing personalized care for individuals facing these challenges. Our mission is to empower those struggling with mental health conditions, promote sustainable recovery, and redefine behavioral health. One of the advanced therapies we offer is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an innovative, noninvasive treatment designed to effectively address various mental health conditions.
As more individuals seek effective and minimally invasive mental health treatment in New Jersey, TMS continues to grow in popularity.

- What Does tms Therapy Look Like?
What Is TMS Therapy?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive procedure that utilizes magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in specific regions of the brain associated with mood regulation. Approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), TMS is primarily used to treat major depressive disorder, particularly in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments such as medication and psychotherapy.
An electromagnetic coil is placed against the patient’s scalp near the forehead during a TMS session. The device generates magnetic pulses that pass through the skull and induce electrical currents in targeted brain areas. These currents stimulate nerve cells, potentially improving mood and alleviating depressive symptoms. A typical TMS treatment course involves daily sessions over several weeks, each lasting approximately 30 to 60 minutes.
Clients often describe the sensation during treatment as tapping or clicking near the scalp, which becomes more comfortable over time. Many individuals experience noticeable improvements after just a few weeks, with continuing progress throughout the treatment schedule. Since no anesthesia or sedation is involved, clients can return to work, school, or personal responsibilities right after their sessions.
Who Is Right for TMS Therapy?
TMS therapy may be suitable for individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges, particularly when traditional methods have not led to improvement:
Those who have not found relief from depressive symptoms despite trying multiple antidepressant medications or psychotherapy. TMS provides a fresh, science-backed alternative for individuals seeking symptom relief without medication. It can help re-engage the brain’s natural ability to regulate mood, offering hope where other treatments have fallen short.
Individuals who cannot tolerate the side effects associated with antidepressant medications. For many, TMS presents a well-tolerated option that avoids the systemic impact of pharmaceuticals. This makes it appealing for those prioritizing long-term wellness without compromising their daily functioning.
Patients are interested in alternative treatments that do not involve surgery or systemic medication. TMS offers a safe and comfortable experience, without hospitalization or sedation. Its non-invasive nature allows individuals to return to their daily routines immediately after each session.
While TMS is primarily used for depression, studies have shown it can also benefit those with anxiety and panic disorders. It works by regulating brain activity related to mood and emotional regulation. Many patients report a noticeable reduction in anxious thoughts and physical symptoms over time.
TMS can be helpful for individuals managing both a mental health disorder and a substance use disorder. Reducing depressive symptoms can improve focus and motivation for recovery in dual diagnosis cases. This integrated benefit supports a more balanced and sustainable healing process.
For some individuals with trauma-related symptoms, TMS may support recovery by reducing hypervigilance, mood swings, and emotional dysregulation. When used alongside trauma therapy, it can enhance resilience and psychological stability. This combined approach may lead to a deeper and more lasting emotional recovery.
A comprehensive evaluation by our Stone River Behavioral Health clinical team will determine if TMS therapy aligns with your specific needs and treatment goals. We’ll assess your medical and mental health history to create a personalized plan that addresses your whole-person wellness.

Benefits of TMS Therapy for Mental Health and Dual Diagnosis Conditions
Non-Invasive and Well-Tolerated
TMS does not require anesthesia or sedation; patients can resume daily activities immediately after each session. The most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort or headache during or after treatment, making it a convenient option for many individuals.
Efficacy in Treatment-Resistant Cases
Clinical studies have demonstrated that TMS can significantly reduce depressive symptoms in individuals who have not responded to traditional treatments. This makes it a promising option for those who feel they’ve exhausted other therapeutic avenues and seek new hope.
Potential Benefits for Co-Occurring Disorders
Emerging research suggests that TMS may also be effective in addressing symptoms of anxiety and certain substance use disorders. By treating underlying mood disturbances, TMS can indirectly support long-term recovery from addiction and strengthen other areas of treatment.
Improved Cognitive Function
Some individuals report improved cognitive clarity and focus following a course of TMS treatment. This can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with concentration issues related to depression or anxiety, improving daily functioning and quality of life.
Minimal Long-Term Side Effects
Unlike many pharmacological treatments, TMS is not associated with long-term systemic side effects. This makes it a safe, sustainable treatment option for ongoing mental health maintenance and relapse prevention.
Enhanced Motivation and Energy Levels
TMS has been linked to improved motivation and increased energy, which can be vital for individuals coping with depression. This boost can support participation in therapy, physical activity, and social connection.
Complements Existing Therapies
TMS can enhance the effectiveness of other treatments, such as psychotherapy or medication. When part of a comprehensive care plan, it often accelerates progress and improves overall treatment outcomes.
- How We Approach TMS therapy
Integrating TMS into Your Treatment Plan
Our clinical team thoroughly evaluates your mental health history, current symptoms, and treatment experiences to determine if TMS is appropriate for you. This initial step ensures we understand your unique needs and helps us identify the most beneficial therapeutic options.
If TMS is deemed suitable, we work with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that may combine TMS with other therapeutic modalities such as psychotherapy, medication management, and lifestyle interventions. We believe in a team approach, keeping your personal goals at the center of every treatment decision.
Throughout the TMS treatment course, we closely monitor your progress, adjust the treatment plan as needed, and provide continuous support to ensure optimal outcomes. Regular evaluations and therapist feedback sessions help ensure that therapy is effective and aligned with your progress.
TMS therapy is most effective when incorporated into a well-rounded recovery program. We integrate TMS alongside other treatments, such as CBT, DBT, or EMDR, to enhance therapeutic outcomes and address recovery’s biological and psychological components.
We educate clients on TMS and what to expect from the treatment process. Empowering clients with knowledge increases confidence and engagement in treatment, which is crucial for achieving long-term results.
