Common temporary effects
General TMS information includes headache, scalp or facial sensations, discomfort around the treatment area, lightheadedness or dizziness. Experiences differ.
TMS Therapy
Focused treatment. Thoughtful care.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is a non-invasive treatment that uses controlled magnetic pulses to influence targeted brain networks. At Atlantis, every TMS journey begins with an individual clinical evaluation.

Understanding the treatment
A focused approach to brain stimulation.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is a medical treatment that uses magnetic pulses rather than surgery. A treatment coil placed near the head creates a controlled magnetic field directed toward a selected area. The pulses are intended to influence activity in targeted brain networks.
“Focused” and “non-invasive” do not mean risk-free or right for everyone. A clinician-prescribed protocol and individual evaluation are necessary. Results and timelines vary.
- 01
Non-invasive by design
TMS uses magnetic pulses delivered from outside the body. It does not involve surgery, and it should still be considered a medical treatment with benefits, risks and alternatives to review.
- 02
Focused by protocol
The treatment coil is positioned near a selected area according to a clinician-prescribed protocol—not through a generic or self-directed setting.
- 03
Individual from the start
A clinician evaluates history, current circumstances and safety considerations before deciding whether TMS belongs in the conversation. Outcomes vary.
How TMS works
Precision, rhythm and careful review.
The Focused Signal Field translates a general treatment sequence into a calm, conceptual visual. Select each stage with a mouse, keyboard or touch. The explanation remains visible even when motion is reduced or unavailable.

Individual candidacy
Could TMS be an appropriate next step?
TMS may be discussed as one option within psychiatric care, but not every patient is an appropriate candidate. Atlantis confirms the service and Dr. Saheli’s experience with it, but does not publish a condition- or protocol-specific indication list.
A clinician may consider current concerns, prior care, medical and neurological history, goals and preferences. Previous treatment alone does not establish eligibility, and another form of care may be more appropriate.
Eligibility depends on an individual assessment. This page cannot determine whether TMS is safe or appropriate for an individual.
The clinical evaluation
Every TMS journey begins with a careful evaluation.
An evaluation connects current concerns with treatment history, medical context and the patient’s goals. The clinician can explain why TMS may or may not be worth considering, discuss alternatives and address personal safety questions that a web page cannot answer.

The in-person experience
What a treatment visit may involve.
This broad sequence can reduce uncertainty. Atlantis has not published a universal session length or schedule; those details should come from the clinical team.
- 01
Arrive and check in
The visit begins in person at Atlantis. The team can orient you to the treatment space and address immediate questions.
- 02
Prepare for treatment
The team follows the prescribed plan, reviews relevant precautions and helps you settle into the treatment position.
- 03
Position the coil
Careful positioning supports delivery toward the selected treatment area according to the clinical protocol.
- 04
Deliver the session
Controlled magnetic pulses are delivered while the team monitors the treatment experience and tolerability.
- 05
Review before departure
The team may check in about the visit and clarify the next planned step. Exact processes vary by individual plan.
Planning and follow-up
A course of care shaped around the individual.
TMS is generally planned as a series. The number, frequency and timing of visits depend on the protocol and individual circumstances; Atlantis does not publish one schedule for everyone.
The team should explain attendance and follow-up expectations. The clinician may review symptoms, tolerability and progress, adjusting plans when appropriate. A planned series does not predict an individual result.
Safety and possible side effects
Understanding safety before treatment.
TMS is non-invasive, but it is not risk-free. The exact risks and precautions depend on the person, the treatment system and the prescribed protocol. The points below are general education, not a complete contraindication list.
Rare but serious risk
A seizure is a rare but serious risk. Medical and neurological history—including seizure history when relevant—must be reviewed by the clinical team.
Devices, metal and hearing
Implanted or metallic devices and electronic medical devices require careful review. The team should also explain hearing protection and treatment-specific precautions.
The clinical team should review potential benefits, risks, alternatives and individual safety considerations before treatment begins.
Connected psychiatric care
How TMS may fit into a broader care plan.
TMS does not automatically replace medication, psychotherapy or another treatment. Recommendations depend on diagnosis, history, preferences and clinical circumstances.
Do not stop or change medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician. A plan may combine forms of support or follow another path.
