When your child is struggling with depression, finding the right care can feel overwhelming. Many parents begin by searching for a child psychiatrist who understands the challenges young people face. At Collaborative Counseling TMS, that expertise in child psychiatry is paired with a focus on one of the most advanced treatments for depression, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS.
Our medical director, Dr. Brett Greenberger, is a board certified child, adolescent, and adult psychiatrist. His background in child psychiatry provides families with confidence that their child’s needs are understood, while his leadership ensures that TMS therapy is delivered with the highest level of care. For adolescents who have not found relief with other treatments, TMS offers a safe and effective option that can make a meaningful difference.
TMS, or Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, is a noninvasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to activate areas of the brain that are underactive in depression. Unlike medication, it does not enter the body, and unlike more intensive procedures, it does not require anesthesia or recovery time. Treatments take place in a comfortable outpatient setting, and after each session, your child can go right back to school, sports, or other activities.
Parents often ask why they should consider TMS. The answer is simple. If your child has already tried other treatments without improvement, TMS may provide the relief they need. Many families describe seeing their teenager regain energy, interest, and joy in daily life after completing a course of TMS therapy.
