Insomnia

Chronic insomnia can severely affect mental and physical health, leading to fatigue, cognitive impairment, and mood disturbances.

Our team utilizes fMRI-guided TMS therapy to regulate brain activity involved in sleep cycles. This non-invasive treatment improves sleep quality, restores healthy sleep patterns, and enhances overall well-being.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

PTSD is a complex condition triggered by traumatic experiences, leading to flashbacks, heightened anxiety, and emotional instability.

Our fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets brain regions associated with fear and emotional processing. It offers a non-invasive solution to reduce symptoms, stabilize emotions, and help patients regain control of their lives.

Complex PTSD

Complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD) develops after long-term trauma and can lead to feelings of helplessness, emotional instability, and difficulty in relationships.

Our advanced fMRI-guided TMS therapy helps regulate brain areas impacted by trauma, reducing symptoms like flashbacks, emotional dysregulation, and hypervigilance, promoting recovery and emotional balance.

Schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is, according to a report from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), a serious mental illness marked by hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.

We offer personalized TMS therapy focusing on brain circuits implicated in these symptoms. This customized treatment helps manage psychotic episodes, improve cognitive function, and support long-term stabilization for individuals with schizophrenia.

Anxiety

Anxiety is a neurological and physiological response in which the brain becomes overly sensitive to perceived threats, leading to excessive worry, tension, and physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat or restlessness.

According to a report from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), anxiety disorders can significantly interfere with daily life.

fMRI-guided TMS therapy directly targets the brain regions involved in anxiety and stress response, providing long-lasting relief from symptoms, and helping patients regain peace of mind and emotional balance.

Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD)

OCD involves intrusive, repetitive thoughts and compulsive behaviors that disrupt daily life.

Our fMRI-guided TMS therapy helps recalibrate overactive brain circuits associated with obsession and compulsion, offering relief from these behaviors, and restoring a better sense of control and mental balance.

Panic disorder

Panic disorder is marked by sudden, intense panic attacks accompanied by physical symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat and shortness of breath. fMRI-guided TMS therapy helps to regulate brain areas involved in anxiety and fear responses, reducing the frequency and severity of panic attacks.

Phobias

Phobias involve overwhelming, irrational fears of specific situations or objects, often leading to avoidance behaviors and heightened anxiety.

fMRI-guided TMS therapy can help retrain brain regions responsible for fear responses, reducing anxiety and enabling individuals to manage their fears more effectively, leading to improved emotional resilience and daily functioning.

Attention deficit disorder (ADD)

ADD affects focus, attention, and executive functioning. With fMRI-guided TMS therapy, we target underperforming brain areas responsible for attention and cognitive regulation, helping individuals improve focus, organization, and concentration, making it a non-invasive alternative for treating ADD symptoms.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)

ADHD affects the ability to focus, control impulses, and stay organized, often persisting from childhood to adulthood. Our innovative treatment helps regulate brain circuits that are responsible for attention and executive functioning. This can improve focus, reduce hyperactivity, and enhance cognitive performance in individuals diagnosed with this condition.

Bipolar disorder

Bipolar disorder is characterized by extreme mood swings, including episodes of mania or hypomania and depression. We can target brain regions associated with mood regulation with a tailored TMS approach. This therapy helps balance emotional extremes, relieving debilitating symptoms and promoting greater stability in daily life.

Depression

Depression is a neurological condition that affects how the brain regulates mood, energy, motivation, and interest in daily life.

According to a paper published by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), it impacts millions, causing persistent feelings of sadness, fatigue, and loss of interest in daily activities.

Our fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets brain regions involved in mood regulation, providing a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option. This innovative approach helps reduce symptoms, offering relief and improving emotional well-being.

Major depressive disorder (MDD)

Major depressive disorder is a complex neurological condition that affects how the brain regulates mood, motivation, and emotional processing.

According to a report from the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), MDD is a severe form of depression, marked by overwhelming sadness, hopelessness, and lack of motivation.

fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets underactive brain regions, helping patients find relief when traditional treatments fall short. This non-invasive approach improves mood regulation and restores a sense of well-being.

Drug addiction

Substance use disorder, more commonly referred to as drug addiction, is a chronic condition characterized by compulsive drug use.

TMS therapy helps regulate brain circuits related to cravings and impulse control, supporting long-term recovery goals and reducing relapse rates.

Eating disorders

Eating disorders, such as anorexia and bulimia, involve unhealthy relationships with food. TMS therapy aids in managing disordered eating patterns by targeting brain areas involved in food-related reinforcers, food texture processing, satiety and anticipation of food rewards, impulse control, and body image perception.

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)

ODD is a condition characterized by defiance, irritability, and frequent temper outbursts, particularly in children and adolescents.

fMRI-guided TMS therapy targets brain circuits related to emotional control, reducing disruptive behaviors, and improving emotional regulation in individuals affected by ODD.

Borderline personality disorder (BPD)

BPD involves extreme emotional instability, impulsiveness, and challenges with maintaining relationships. fMRI-guided TMS therapy focuses on stabilizing mood and reducing impulsivity by targeting brain regions associated with emotional regulation, thereby improving interpersonal relationships and overall emotional balance.

Disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD)

DMDD is a childhood condition characterized by severe irritability and frequent temper outbursts. fMRI-guided TMS therapy at Neurotherapeutix helps regulate overactive brain regions linked to emotional control, reducing irritability and temper flare-ups, leading to improved emotional stability and overall mood regulation.

Frequently asked questions

What psychiatric disorders does Neurotherapeutix treat with fMRI-guided TMS therapy?

We treat a comprehensive range of psychiatric disorders using our advanced fMRI-guided TMS therapy.

Our approach helps patients with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, OCD, schizophrenia, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

We also specialize in treating complex conditions like borderline personality disorder, panic disorder, phobias, and childhood disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder.

By mapping your brain to see exactly which areas need support, we can target the specific circuits involved in your condition rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.

How is fMRI-guided TMS different from traditional psychiatric treatments?

Traditional treatments often work broadly across the entire system. fMRI-guided TMS begins with detailed computational brain mapping to identify the exact neural circuits involved in your condition. This allows us to deliver targeted, non-invasive magnetic stimulation with millimeter-level precision. The therapy is drug-free, personalized to your brain anatomy, and designed to support patients who may not have responded to standard approaches.

Can you treat multiple psychiatric disorders at the same time?

Yes, we understand that many patients experience more than one psychiatric disorder simultaneously. Our fMRI-guided approach is particularly well-suited for treating co-occurring conditions because we can see how different brain circuits interact and affect each other.

For example, if you’re dealing with both depression and anxiety, or PTSD and substance use issues, we can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses the underlying brain patterns contributing to all your symptoms. This personalized mapping allows us to target multiple areas effectively in a coordinated way.

What makes Neurotherapeutix’s approach to psychiatric disorders unique in NYC?

Neurotherapeutix is the only clinic in the United States offering true fMRI-guided TMS, using advanced functional imaging to map each patient’s brain before treatment begins. This allows us to target neural circuits with unmatched precision instead of relying on standard stimulation protocols. 

Our team includes the physicians who helped pioneer this method, supported by patented technology and decades of neuroscience expertise. We pair this level of innovation with compassionate, individualized care, taking time to understand both your symptoms and the underlying brain patterns that shape them.

How do I know if fMRI-guided TMS therapy is right for my psychiatric disorder?

If you’ve been struggling with a psychiatric disorder and traditional treatments haven’t provided the relief you need, our approach may offer new possibilities.

We treat patients with various conditions, from common disorders like depression and anxiety to complex conditions like treatment-resistant schizophrenia or borderline personality disorder.

The best way to determine if our therapy is right for you is through a consultation where we can discuss your specific symptoms, treatment history, and goals. We understand how discouraging it can feel when other treatments haven’t worked, which is why we take a thorough, personalized approach to evaluate whether our innovative therapy could help you find the relief you’ve been seeking.
