Mental Health Condition Treatment
Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, and more have been successfully treated with MeRT.

Successful Mental Health Treatment with MeRT
MeRT® is EEG-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This non-invasive technique stimulates certain areas of the brain with magnetic fields.
TMS (used in MeRT) is FDA-approved to treat major depressive disorder (MDD), and studies have also examined how well it works for different mental health issues.
MeRT is a customized use of TMS. Because we tailor treatment based on precise brain scans, the results are even more effective than standard TMS.
Many mental health conditions have been well-researched for TMS treatment. These include:
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): TMS has been most extensively studied and approved for treating depression. Doctors often consider it for individuals who have not responded well to antidepressant medications. Read more…
- Bipolar Disorder: TMS has shown promise in managing symptoms of bipolar disorder, particularly in the depressive phase.
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Studies have explored the potential benefits of TMS in easing symptoms of anxiety disorders, including GAD. Read more…
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Both MeRT and TMS have been investigated as potential treatments for PTSD, particularly for individuals who have not responded to standard therapies. MeRT has shown a high percentage of excellent results. Read more…
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD): TMS has been studied as a potential treatment for OCD, especially where standard treatments like medication and therapy have not been effective. Based on these studies, TMS is FDA-approved to treat OCD.
Some studies suggest that TMS may have a role in reducing cravings and promoting abstinence in people with alcohol and cocaine dependence.
Before choosing MeRT, it’s important to have a thorough assessment. This helps determine if MeRT is safe and suitable for your mental health condition. Ongoing studies may expand the applications of TMS in the future as the field evolves.

Declining Mental Performance
Some declining mental health conditions and symptoms can include:
- Unwanted moods, depression, anxiety
- Feeling low, dark, isolated
- Extreme anxiety
- Nightmares
- Panic attacks
- Obsessive behavior
- Lessened ability to handle stress
- Feelings of numbness or dullness

We have witnessed a significant improvement in symptoms and conditions with MeRT treatment.
Brain Function
Your Brain and MeRT: Clearing the Pathways to Better Mental Health
The human brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons. By electrical oscillations or brain waves, the neurons communicate with each other through pathways in the brain. When you use certain pathways more frequently, they become stronger, and vice versa.
When internal or external forces disrupt regular brain activity, under-used pathways become weaker. These weakened brain pathways can then cause dysfunction.
Depression is an example of an internal force. Depression, for extended periods, will strengthen pathways associated with depression and may weaken pathways related to happiness.
Using gentle magnetic waves to reconnect and revive weakened pathways, MeRT can shift your brain out of depression and into a happier state.

The Four Steps of MeRT Treatment for Mental Health Conditions
By assessing the communication quality between the networks of neurons in your brain, we can home in on, gently stimulate, and “wake up” those areas to improve function.
Testing & Evaluation
At your first appointment, we will perform the qEEG, also often referred to as brain mapping, and an EKG. This takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
These tests are painless, easy to do, and straightforward. And we perform them right in our office.
Once we complete the testing, our scientists and physicians will interpret and analyze the results to determine the exact function of your brain.
Analysis
We carefully analyze the test results using a scientific and patented approach. Once we evaluate and analyze the results, we will then schedule a consultation with the doctor. At that consultation, you and the doctor will discuss the results and how these relate to your symptoms.
Based on this analysis, we develop a treatment plan customized to your specific condition and schedule your assessment period of treatment.
MeRT Treatment
With your treatment protocols in place, you will come to therapy five days a week, two weeks at a time. During treatment, you simply sit in a comfortable chair while a highly trained neuro-technician places a magnetic coil on your head. This device produces a low-frequency magnetic field to induce mild electrical signals in the targeted areas of your brain.
Time spent in the chair is typically 30 minutes. The stimulation occurs for 6-8 seconds every minute.
Progress Evaluation
We will monitor your progress throughout your daily treatments to confirm how you feel and track improvements. After two weeks of treatment, we will perform another qEEG and EKG to review your progress and make any needed modifications.
If there is a positive response to treatment during the assessment period, you will probably notice some symptom improvements. At that point, we will schedule further treatment in two-week intervals.
Got Questions?
Talk with our New Patient Coordinator
Our New Patient Coordinator is available to answer any questions that you may have about how MeRT can help you. She’ll take the time to listen to your concerns, explain costs, and go over any other details. She can also help get you scheduled should you decide to move forward with treatment.
We understand what you may be going through, and our goal is to help guide you through the process with quality care in a warm and compassionate environment.
You don’t have to make any big decisions right away. You can start with an EEG and a consultation with the doctor. Then, together, you can decide if you may benefit from MeRT.
While MeRT is a relatively new treatment protocol, it has shown some remarkable results. It costs you nothing to call us and talk. Our New Patient Coordinator is here for you.
