Fort Carson · Army Veteran

"After two years on medications that didn't work and made me feel like a zombie, I didn't have high expectations. By week three I was sleeping through the night for the first time in years. By week five my wife said she had her husband back."

— Staff Sergeant, US Army (Ret.) · 12-year deployment history · Completed TMS Q1 2024
Colorado Springs · Postpartum Depression

"I was breastfeeding and refused to go back on antidepressants. My OB referred me here as an alternative. I was skeptical but desperate. The improvement was gradual but real — I finally felt present with my baby again."

— New mother, 34 · Postpartum MDD · 3 prior medication trials · Completed TMS Q3 2024
USAFA · Active Duty Officer

"I couldn't go on medication because of my position. TMS was the option my flight surgeon suggested. I was in sessions before PT and back at work by 0900. Nobody knew. And it actually worked."

— Captain, US Air Force · Active duty · MDD · Completed TMS Q2 2024
Colorado Springs · Senior Patient

"At 71, I'd been depressed for thirty years and tried every medication there was. My daughter found TMS. Medicare covered it completely. I wish I'd done this decades ago."

— Retired teacher, 71 · Late-life MDD · Medicare Part B · Completed TMS Q4 2023
Colorado Springs · First Responder

"Twenty years of calls you can't un-see. I came in skeptical — I'd heard the word 'therapy' too many times. This wasn't therapy. It was medical treatment. And it changed everything."

— Firefighter/Paramedic, 48 · Treatment-resistant depression · BCBS · Completed TMS Q1 2025
