TMS Therapy for Colorado Springs

We're straightforward about geography: our treatment location is in the Denver metro, about an hour up I-25 from Colorado Springs. For some treatments, that drive matters. For a lot of the care process, it doesn't have to.

Psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up visits are available online to anyone in Colorado through secure video. That means the first steps — the evaluation, the treatment plan, the insurance groundwork — can all happen from your home in Colorado Springs. In-person visits are reserved for the treatments that genuinely require them: TMS sessions and SPRAVATO® administration.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-medication treatment for depression that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate the brain regions involved in mood regulation. It's an option worth understanding if antidepressants haven't worked for you or their side effects have been hard to live with.

A standard TMS course involves sessions on weekdays over several weeks, which is the honest consideration for anyone commuting from Colorado Springs. Two things help. First, sessions themselves are short, and many patients pair treatment days with work or errands on the north side. Second, we offer accelerated TMS (intermittent theta burst stimulation, or iTBS), which can condense the treatment schedule — for some patients, that changes the math on travel considerably. Whether a standard or accelerated protocol fits you is a clinical decision made at your evaluation, which you can complete online before ever making the drive.

We also offer SPRAVATO® (esketamine) nasal spray — FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression — and physician-supervised ketamine therapy. SPRAVATO® is administered in-clinic with monitoring afterward, per its federal safety program, so these are in-person treatment days as well. As with TMS, the evaluation that determines whether you're a candidate can happen by video from Colorado Springs. Details on both are on our SPRAVATO® and ketamine therapy pages.

If what you need right now isn't a procedure but a psychiatrist — an evaluation, a medication review, ongoing medication management — our telepsychiatry service covers that entirely online for Colorado residents. No commute at all.

Colorado Springs is home to one of the largest military communities in the country, and depression care for service members, veterans, and their families comes with its own set of questions — about coverage, about privacy, about what treatment means for a career. We've written specifically about depression treatment for veterans and first responders, and about how TRICARE covers TMS, including the exact criteria and the pre-authorization process.

The first step is a conversation, not a commitment: call 720-500-7873, or request an appointment online and we'll reach out. If it helps to arrive with something concrete, our free, private self-assessments — including the PHQ-9 used across depression care — take a few minutes and give you a score you can bring to your evaluation.
