    Why Deep TMS

    When Antidepressants Haven't Worked, Your Brain Needs A Different Approach

    Deep TMS doesn’t mask symptoms with chemicals. It uses magnetic pulses to restore the neural circuits that depression disrupted, creating lasting change at the source.

    What is Deep TMS?

    Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment for major depressive disorder that uses BrainsWay H-coil technology to deliver magnetic pulses to deeper brain regions associated with mood regulation. Unlike standard rTMS, Deep TMS penetrates broader neural networks, which may account for its higher efficacy.
    In clinical use, Deep TMS achieves an 82% response rate and a 65% remission rate for treatment-resistant depression. Each session takes approximately 20 minutes, requires no anesthesia or medication, and has zero systemic side effects. A standard course runs approximately 6 weeks with daily sessions, though an accelerated 6-day protocol is available for qualifying patients.
    Deep TMS is covered by most major insurance plans (Colorado Medicaid is an exception) when the patient has been diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression after trying at least two antidepressants.

    Award-winning care, locally owned.

    Axis Integrated Mental Health has been recognized as ColoradoBiz Top Startup of the Year, Best of Mile High for Mental Wellness (2024 and 2025), and received the Denver Business Journal Partners in Philanthropy Award. The practice serves patients across four Colorado locations in Denver, Aurora, Westminster, and Boulder with an integrated care model that combines therapy, medication management, and advanced treatments under one roof.

    82% of patients respond to treatment

    More than four out of five patients experience significant symptom reduction. 65% achieve complete remission. These outcomes far exceed standard antidepressant response rates.

    Results that last beyond the treatment period

    Unlike ketamine or antidepressants that wear off, Deep TMS drives neuroplastic changes. Your brain physically rewires, and the benefits persist long after your last session.

    Drug-free, no systemic side effects

    No weight gain. No brain fog. No emotional numbing. Deep TMS uses targeted magnetic pulses, not medication. You stay alert during treatment and return to your day immediately.

    Covered by most Colorado insurance plans

    Aetna, Cigna, Anthem BCBS, United Healthcare, Tricare, and Denver Health POS+ plan (Medicaid not accepted) all cover Deep TMS. Axis handles all prior authorizations and insurance paperwork for you.

    No, Colorado Medicaid does not currently cover TMS therapy, despite 16 other states including TMS in their Medicaid programs.
    Standard rTMS uses a figure-8 coil that stimulates surface-level brain regions. Deep TMS uses BrainsWay’s patented H-coil technology to penetrate deeper into brain structures associated with mood regulation, reaching broader neural networks. This deeper reach may account for Deep TMS’s higher response and remission rates. Axis Integrated Mental Health exclusively offers Deep TMS, not standard rTMS. You can read more about the differences between each technology on our blog “Deep TMS vs. Standard rTMS: The “Hidden” Technology Difference That Could Define Your Recovery“.
    Insurance typically covers Deep TMS for patients diagnosed with treatment-resistant depression who have documented trials of at least two antidepressant medications without adequate response. You do not need a referral to book an appointment at Axis. The Axis team handles prior authorizations and all insurance documentation on your behalf so you can focus on getting better instead of fighting paperwork.

    Many patients begin noticing improvements within 3-4 weeks of starting Deep TMS treatment. A standard course consists of daily 20-minute sessions over approximately 4 weeks, followed by 8 weeks of twice a week sessions. Because Deep TMS drives neuroplastic changes rather than relying on chemical effects, the improvements tend to last well beyond the treatment period. Many patient report not seeing the full effect until several months after treatment is complete. Patients commonly report improved focus, emotional regulation, better sleep, and restored motivation.

    Yes, most patients continue their current medications during Deep TMS treatment. Some may reduce or discontinue medications after successful treatment under medical supervision. At Axis, your treatment team coordinates any medication changes with your prescribing physician to ensure safety and optimize outcomes as part of their integrated care model.
