Treatment Modalities Offered
At New Direction Functional Psychiatry, we offer a variety of treatment modalities to cater to the diverse needs of our patients. Among our most innovative and effective treatments are Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) and Psychoanalysis paired with Esketamine Therapy.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a cutting-edge, non-invasive treatment approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2008 for clinical depression. TMS uses magnetic fields to stimulate the part of the brain that controls mood. This therapy is particularly effective for individuals who have not responded well to traditional antidepressant medications (Mindful Health Solutions).
Benefits of TMS for Depression:
- Effectiveness: Studies show that one in two patients treated with TMS experience a 50% reduction in symptoms, with one-third achieving complete remission after six weeks (Mindful Health Solutions).
- Safety: Unlike treatments like vagus nerve stimulation or deep brain stimulation, TMS does not require surgery, implants, or anesthesia. It does not cause seizures, memory loss, or require the patient to enter a sleep-like state.
TMS Success Rates
| Condition | Symptom Reduction | Remission Rate |
| Depression | 50% | 33% |
| OCD | 40% | 15% |
| Migraines | 35% | 10% |

Psychoanalysis and Esketamine Therapy
Psychoanalysis has long been a cornerstone of our treatment offerings, aiding in the exploration of unconscious thoughts and behaviors. Paired with Esketamine Therapy, it provides a powerful option for individuals with treatment-resistant depression.
Esketamine Therapy
Esketamine, a nasal spray, is a rapid-acting antidepressant that has been shown to be effective for individuals who have not responded to other forms of treatment (Mayo Clinic).
| Condition | Symptom Relief Time | Number of Doses Needed |
| Major Depression | Within hours | Bi-Weekly |
| Suicidal Thoughts | Rapid | Initial 2-4 doses |
Benefits
- Rapid Onset of Relief: Patients often experience relief within hours.
- Combination Therapy: When combined with psychoanalysis, it provides comprehensive treatment, addressing both chemical imbalances and underlying psychological issues.

Success Rates and Maintenance
When it comes to understanding transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) for depression, evaluating the success rates and the importance of maintenance treatments is crucial.
Treatment Success with TMS
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has shown promising results for individuals suffering from treatment-resistant depression. At New Direction Functional Psychiatry, we have witnessed significant improvements in our patients’ mental health through TMS therapy. Studies report that one in two patients treated with TMS experience a 50% reduction in their symptoms, and after six weeks of treatment, one-third are in remission (Mindful Health Solutions).
| Outcome | Percentage |
| Clinical Response (≥ 50% Improvement) | 50% |
| Remission (No Symptoms/Minimal Symptoms) | 33% |
Further evidence supports these findings. A UCLA Health study demonstrated that 54% of patients exhibited at least 50% improvement in mood symptoms. Similarly, naturalistic data from real-world clinics confirmed significant improvements, with response rates around 58% and remission rates around 37.1%.
Importance of Maintenance Treatments
While initial treatment with TMS can yield significant improvements, the importance of maintenance treatments cannot be overstated. Maintenance TMS (mTMS) can prolong positive clinical effects, with most patients showing moderate to marked benefits when compared to no treatment at all. Studies have demonstrated that maintenance can lead to remission for periods ranging from three months to five years (NCBI).
| Maintenance Treatment Outcomes | Duration |
| Moderate/Marked Benefits | Up to 5 years |
| Remission | 3 months to 5 years |
Effective maintenance treatments require a tailored approach, regularly adjusted to the patient’s evolving needs. Our team at New Direction Functional Psychiatry excels in providing personalized and comprehensive care, ensuring that our patients continue to experience the benefits of TMS long after their initial treatment course.

In addition to TMS, we offer a wide range of services, including Esketamine therapy, IASIS neurofeedback, and medication management. Each treatment plan is meticulously designed to address our patients’ unique mental health needs.
