Psychiatry & TMS Therapy

Psychiatry focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions, often using a combination of therapy and medication. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can prescribe medication. Therapy, on the other hand, is typically led by psychologists, therapists, or social workers and involves talk-based approaches to managing mental health. Kindred Connection affiliates offer both psychiatry and therapy services, tailored to the unique needs of perinatal clients.

TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) Therapy is a non-invasive, FDA-approved treatment for depression. It uses magnetic fields to stimulate specific areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. TMS is especially helpful for individuals who have not responded well to traditional treatments like medication or talk therapy. It’s a safe and effective option for those seeking alternatives.

TMS Therapy is ideal for individuals who are experiencing treatment-resistant depression or who prefer non-medication approaches. It’s particularly beneficial for perinatal clients who may be hesitant to use medications due to pregnancy or breastfeeding. Our team will work with you to determine if TMS is the right treatment option based on your medical history and mental health needs.
