When depression medication hasn’t worked, TMS can. FDA-cleared, drug-free magnetic stimulation therapy that’s non-invasive, in-network with most major insurance, and right here in Killeen. Call (254) 236-3364 to see if you qualify.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses gentle, targeted magnetic pulses to reactivate the underactive mood circuits in your brain. It’s FDA-cleared for depression that hasn’t responded to antidepressants, with no sedation, no surgery, and no systemic side effects. You sit comfortably in a chair, and you drive yourself home after every session.
If you’ve tried two or more antidepressants without lasting relief, you may qualify, and most insurance plans cover TMS for exactly that situation. Our team verifies your benefits, handles prior authorization, and tells you your out-of-pocket cost before you commit to anything.
FDA-Cleared. Drug-Free. Covered by Most Major Insurance.
TMS works directly on the brain’s mood centers, not through your bloodstream. No weight gain, no sexual side effects, no fogginess, no withdrawal. The most common side effect is mild scalp discomfort that typically fades within the first week.
In clinical studies, the majority of people with treatment-resistant depression improve meaningfully with TMS, and many reach full remission. When one medication trial after another has failed, TMS gives your brain a genuinely different way to heal.
Sessions take about 20 minutes. You’re awake the whole time, then you drive yourself back to work, school, or home. No downtime and no hospital stay, just a short daily visit to our Killeen office over roughly 6 to 7 weeks.
We’re in-network with Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, UMR, Medicare, Baylor Scott & White, and the Veterans Community Care Network. We verify your coverage and handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting better.
If you live in Killeen, Harker Heights, Copperas Cove, or anywhere in the Fort Cavazos area and depression keeps coming back no matter what medication you try, you are not out of options. Killeen Psychiatry offers Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder that hasn’t responded to antidepressants. Unlike medication, TMS targets the specific brain regions involved in depression using precise magnetic pulses, with no systemic side effects and no downtime. Treatment happens right in our Killeen office at 4904 Trimmier Rd: brief daily sessions, the same experienced team every visit, and progress tracked at every step. We understand this community, including the unique pressures of military life, and we treat veterans and civilians alike with the same urgency and respect. Most major insurance plans cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression, and our staff confirms your benefits before you start. You’ve done the hard part by not giving up. Let us do the rest.
Every TMS journey starts with a thorough psychiatric evaluation. Our providers confirm your diagnosis, review your medication history, and determine whether TMS, a medication change, or Spravato is the right next step for you.
TMS works alongside your current treatment plan, not against it. Our providers coordinate your medications during and after your TMS course so the progress you make actually lasts.
Spravato (esketamine) is another FDA-approved option for treatment-resistant depression, administered as a nasal spray under supervision in our office. If TMS isn’t the right fit for you, you still have powerful options here.
You don’t have to white-knuckle through another failed medication trial. Call (254) 236-3364 or request an appointment online and we’ll verify your insurance, answer every question, and schedule your TMS consultation, usually within one week. Killeen Psychiatry, 4904 Trimmier Rd, Killeen, TX 76542.
