Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a chronic mental health condition characterized by unwanted, intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or rituals (compulsions). These symptoms often become overwhelming, time-consuming, and disruptive to daily life.
While many people associate OCD with cleanliness or order, it can also manifest in other distressing ways, such as:
OCD can be difficult to treat. While medications and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are commonly prescribed, many individuals do not experience full relief—or cannot tolerate side effects of medications such as SSRIs.
Patients with treatment-resistant OCD may spend years searching for a solution, often feeling discouraged by incomplete results. That’s where Deep TMS offers a powerful alternative.
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is an FDA-cleared treatment for OCD that targets the brain circuits involved in obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors. At University Place TMS Clinic, we use BrainsWay’s advanced H7 coil to reach these areas safely and effectively.
Why Deep TMS is different:
Shown to significantly reduce OCD symptoms—even in patients who haven’t responded to other treatments

We’ll complete a detailed consultation to determine whether Deep TMS is right for your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history.
OCD treatment with Deep TMS involves a brief, daily outpatient protocol that stimulates specific brain regions over a 6–8 week period.
Treatment Overview:
You can return to your daily activities immediately after each session.
In a landmark study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry, Deep TMS was shown to significantly reduce OCD symptoms in patients who had failed to improve with prior treatment.
Clinical highlights:
At our clinic, we’ve seen similar improvements in the lives of those who once felt stuck in an endless loop of obsession and compulsion.
Deep TMS is non-invasive, medication-free, and generally well-tolerated. It does not require anesthesia or hospitalization, and it poses none of the long-term risks associated with psychiatric medications.
Mild side effects may include:
We’ll make sure every session is as comfortable and effective as possible, with close monitoring by our trained staff.
After grappling with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for more than two decades, I can confidently say that University Place TMS has been a transformative experience in my journey towards mental well-being. For years, I felt trapped in a cycle of compulsions and avoidance that dictated my daily routines, leaving little room for joy or spontaneity. However, the innovative treatment offered by University Place TMS provided me with the real relief I had been searching for all along.
“After living with OCD for over 20 years, TMS was the first thing that gave me real relief. I’ve stopped avoiding my routines and can enjoy life again without being stuck in my head.”
