Drug-free depression care · Long Beach
You've tried the pills. Maybe therapy too. If you still don't feel like yourself, there is a proven path that doesn't run through your bloodstream.
Free consultation. Benefits checked before treatment begins.
A different first question
Some people arrive after years of trying to explain why they are still not well.
You have taken the pill. Changed the dose. Sat in the chair, week after week. None of that history is a character judgment. It is information, and it is where we start.
Prior treatment, reframed
What happened before tells us something. Not who you are. What helped partway. What never quite landed.
A reasonable place to start. About a third of people who try a first antidepressant reach full remission on it; many do not, and need a second step or a different mechanism.1 We read the trials in detail: which medications, at what dose, for how long, with what response, and at what cost in side effects. That history points toward whether neuromodulation, like TMS, fits next.
Therapy can help and still not be enough on its own. We ask what it clarified, what stayed stuck, and whether TMS or a medication review changes what is available.
The first step here is small: history, safety, coverage, fit. We do not ask anyone to commit to a treatment course before they have read the recommendation and asked their questions.
Treatments
The right plan depends on your evaluation. Some people need one treatment. Some need therapy, medication, and TMS working together.
Non-invasive magnetic stimulation for mood-regulating circuits. It is outpatient, non-sedating, and does not circulate through the body like medication.
Talk therapy and medication management remain part of the plan when they are clinically useful. The goal is not to replace every prior tool, but to use the right ones with more context.
Conditions
The diagnosis matters, but it is not the whole story. We look at your history, your prior care, and your safety before recommending a path.
What to expect
The first call is low-pressure. Ask about fit, cost, and insurance before you decide anything.
We ask what you need help with, and what you have already tried.
We verify benefits and explain any cost before treatment begins.
A clinician reviews your history and whether TMS, therapy, or medication fits.
If treatment fits, we map the schedule and how we will track progress.
Evidence, cost, coverage
Clinical credibility includes saying what is known, what depends on evaluation, and what insurance may require.
TMS is FDA-cleared for specific indications including major depressive disorder and OCD protocols. It is not a guaranteed outcome, and fit depends on a clinical evaluation.
Current clinic materials list major insurance plans including Blue Shield, Anthem, Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, Kaiser, Medicare, and Tricare. We welcome veterans and active-duty service members. Many patients pay $0 to $25 per session after coverage, but cost depends on benefits, authorization, and plan rules.
TMS is outpatient and non-sedating for many patients, but device protocols, medical history, and symptom profile still matter.
We will not promise a cure, rush a decision, or suggest that one treatment explains every possible path. Outcomes vary, and recommendations should be made by a clinician who knows your history.
Insurance clarity
Repeated treatment has practical weight. Before a course begins, we discuss benefits, authorization, scheduling, and what your insurance plan may require.
We welcome veterans and active-duty service members, and accept Tricare alongside major commercial plans. If you are unsure how your coverage applies, ask during the first call and we will verify before scheduling.
Common per-session range after insurance coverage in current clinic materials. This is not a guarantee. We verify your benefits before treatment begins.
Start with a conversation
The first call can be practical: symptoms, prior treatment, insurance, schedule, and whether a clinical evaluation makes sense. You do not need to write out your whole history in a form.
