At Alium Health, we understand that the journey to mental wellness is deeply personal. For many, traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy alone might not yield the desired results. That’s why we’re proud to offer TMS, a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment that, combined with therapy, can create a powerful pathway to healing.
What is TMS?
TMS is an FDA-approved therapy that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. It’s most commonly used to treat depression, especially in individuals who have not found relief with medication. Unlike medications that work systemically and may come with unwanted side effects, TMS targets specific areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, offering a focused and effective treatment.
Why Combine TMS with Therapy?
While TMS works on a neurological level to rewire the brain, therapy addresses the emotional and behavioral patterns that contribute to mental health challenges. At Alium Health, we integrate TMS with evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to create a holistic treatment plan.
Here’s why combining TMS with therapy is so beneficial:
- Enhanced Treatment Outcomes: TMS helps reset brain activity, making individuals more receptive to therapeutic techniques.
- Addressing Root Causes: Therapy allows patients to explore and resolve underlying issues while TMS alleviates symptoms.
- Building Long-Term Resilience: Together, TMS and therapy provide tools for managing mental health beyond the treatment phase.

Selecting the right therapist is crucial for a successful recovery journey. At Alium Health, our team of experienced mental health professionals works collaboratively to tailor a plan that fits your unique needs. We specialize in creating safe, supportive environments where you can explore your challenges and discover effective coping strategies.
When choosing a therapist, consider the following:
- Specialization: Ensure the therapist has expertise in your specific concerns.

- Connection: Feeling comfortable and understood by your therapist is essential for progress.
