What is
Deep TMS?

Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) therapy is one of the most effective forms of depression treatment alternatives. It is an FDA approved treatment for depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). TMS is an extremely safe and tolerated treatment. There can be local discomfort at the scalp but over 95% of patients tolerate the procedure without side effects. If you come in for TMS, and we hope you do, Dr. Cho will review the whole procedure and any additional risks thoroughly with you.

This place is amazing, from the services that they offer to their staff. I really like how they have helped me and how they have encouraged me in many ways. I highly recommend them especially their TMS. I cannot stress enough how much it has helped me. I can say that I am in control now, not my anxiety and ocd.

Excellent service! Giselle is a great communicator and was always very helpful accommodating my schedule. AJ was thoughtful and direct, which I really appreciate. Raymond is a pretty cool doctor, he plays the piano on the first floor sometimes. Chanda and Jada were very helpful and kind. The whole team there really works hard to provide the care and help you feel comfortable during it.

Houston Mind & Brain changed my life … for the better. Being physically and emotionally abused by my father growing up left me wounded. I was never really aware though that I’d been negatively altered by abuse. I always just assumed I was β€œdifferent,” continuously struggling with mental health challenges, the same of which caused me at one point to try and end my life. After that unsuccessful attempt, I was sent to a Psychiatric Hospital followed by years of chronic struggles with depression, unhealthy behaviors and underlying OCD. I existed in a hellish, torturous β€œmental prison” as my world became bleaker and smaller. Then finally, at 66 years old and truly desperate for some kind of help / relief, I found Houston Mind & Brain. Admittedly, I was skeptical at first because previously I had seen so many different psychiatrists and been through a litany of medical protocols. However, the dedicated group of professionals at Houston Mind & Brain collectively changed my life. Talk therapy and medication management both have been wonderfully helpful and eventually undergoing TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment was an ultimate game-changer. After TMS treatment and during subsequent maintenance treatments, my baseline mood elevated and the severity of OCD behaviors (intrusive thoughts / compulsions together with debilitating anxiety) began
to loosen its incapacitating grip to the point where I’m able to function in the world so much better. The results have been nothing less than an extraordinary miracle !
Personally, I give thanks to my Lord & Savior, and I cannot thank Houston Mind & Brain enough for helping give me my life back. I’m forever grateful to each of them in their own specialized areas: Dr. Raymond Cho, Medical Director; Ajoke Kazeem (β€œAJ”), Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner; Raymond Chukwuma, Therapist; Chanda Allen, TMS Treatment Coordinator; Jada Ballard, Medical Assistant; Alan Prossin, M.D; and Giselle Hernandez, TMS Technician (aka my β€œTMS Savior”). Your professional expertise, not to mention compassion, each of you convey in your specialized areas have provided me the greatest gift of all … psychological freedom from mental oppression. From the bottom of my heart ~ THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH ‼️🙏🏼❤️

I have been coming here for psychiatry, therapy, and TMS treatment, and my experience has been excellent. From the very beginning I felt like I was in good hands. The first psychiatrist I saw was one of the best mental health professionals I have ever encountered, and even after he completed his residency and moved on, I have continued to feel very well supported by Dr. Cho and the rest of the team. The providers are compassionate, professional, and genuinely take the time to listen and understand. The clinic itself is clean, comfortable, and well organized. Scheduling has been smooth, and they have gone out of their way to coordinate back-to-back appointments when I have multiple visits. Anytime I have had a billing question, the staff has been proactive and communicative, and the TMS coordinator was especially helpful in working with my insurance to get treatment approved. Having psychiatry, therapy, and TMS all in one place has made my care feel seamless and much less overwhelming.

Everyone at this office is sharp, friendly, efficient, and proactive. My most recent provider Ajoke Kazeem is truly gifted. Not only is she an empathetic and thoughtful listener, she is also a strategic advocate. She uses all of her knowledge to when caring for patients, so you will get a very informed perspective. She built trust with me immediately and helped guide some of my decisions on how to advocate for my needs at work. She is also wise, kind, and funny. I’ll miss working with her. Dr. Cho made a great decision in hiring Ajoke!

After many failed attempts to treat my depression with anti-depressants, I began to search for alternative treatments. This led me to discover Houston Mind and Brain. My experience at Dr. Cho's practice has been wonderful. Every person on their staff has been amazing, starting with Dr. Cho himself. It's clear they really care about their patients, taking time to explain treatments, ensuring I was comfortable with the process etc. For TMS, Giselle has been phenomenal - she's so supportive and engaging, always making me feel comfortable. Chanda has also been wonderful - very caring, making sure I understand the insurance process and cost structure.
For Spravato, both Daniela & Chris have been wonderful, taking great care of me during my treatments.
Scheduling both treatments on the same day can be challenging - they have been super flexible to fit my schedule, always open to making changes without any hassle. Jada at the front desk is so lovely, always with a greeting arriving and leaving.
TMS & Spravato treatments have worked very well for me; I feel better now than in many years. If you are struggling with depression and have found traditional drugs haven't helped, I highly recommend checking out TMS & Spravato, especially at Dr. Cho's practice - you will be so well taken care of.
