About Vital TMS Therapy

Vital TMS Therapy & Mental Health Services

Vital TMS Therapy is an integrative practice that specializes in using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to address mental health issues and other health conditions. We are a boutique mental health practice that focuses on an individualized approach to TMS Therapy. We work with a small number of patients at a time and design therapy plans specific to the unique needs of each patient. Our objective is to treat for remission, not just response. Vital TMS Therapy is the only practice of its kind in Washington, DC.

TMS is an entirely noninvasive treatment that has FDA approval for use in treating major depressive disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The expert team at Vital TMS Therapy also finds that patients who have a range of other debilitating mental and physical health problems can benefit from TMS, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and migraines.

TMS works by acting on the neural pathways in the brain. The magnetic pulses it produces go into the brain, where they trigger the production of neurotransmitter chemicals like dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine. These chemicals regulate mood, so raising their levels improves mood and reduces pain. The magnetic pulses are entirely harmless and don’t cause discomfort. There are no medications needed for TMS, and patients can carry on with their day after TMS treatment with no downtime required. Sessions usually last 20 to 30 minutes, and patients need to attend five sessions a week for their initial seven-week course of TMS.

If you’re struggling to cope with mental health problems or chronic pain and your current treatment program isn’t helping, call Vital TMS Therapy today or request a consultation online.

"TMS was a great experience from start to finish. My mood has lifted, my sleep has been better, and it's easier to face each day with a newer, brighter outlook."

"I wasn’t sure what to expect when I decided to try out TMS, but I’m really happy I did. It really helped me overall, and Dr. Biko made the whole process much easier!"
ALI
"TMS helped improve my anxiety and depression symptoms considerably – better and faster than therapy and medications combined. Heidi, Dr. Biko, and the Vital TMS Therapy staff are outstanding, and it’s been a pleasure working with them during my treatment journey."
Damien O.
"I came in to TMS therapy with severe depression and anxiety that I was dealing with for years. I was a bit skeptical at the beginning but I was desperate to try anything. I had previously used antidepressant and was seeing a therapist but nothing seems to improve. TMS therapy really helped me specially with intrusive thoughts. I started to feel calmer by week 3 or so. My therapy lasted for a little more than 2 months and I still feel calmer and centered."
R N.
"After 7.5 weeks of TMS, I have a new job, I joined a gym, and I actually feel like getting out of bed in the morning. The best way I can describe it is that it lifted the oppressive fog of depression that was there even on days I was feeling good. I feel like I have a higher baseline to work from and can finally change my way of thinking, which–hopefully–will help prevent me from slipping back under. You still have to do the work in therapy, but TMS makes it so much easier. And the people at Vital are so fun to talk to! "
Carrie M.
"I’m so glad I did TMS. While it didn’t fully cure my anxiety and depression, it got rid of my most troubling symptom, intrusive thoughts, and improved things overall. It was certainly worth the time for that alone. The team at Vital TMS was wonderful—professional and kind from start to finish."

Excellent experience . The staff was highly professional, efficient and supportive. The TMS equipment was state-of-art. I had a positive effect . I would highly recommend Vital TMS.
Joyce U.
I had a good experience. Considerable reduction in depressive symptoms, not much change in anxiety. Had to switch up the protocol a few times to get results but we got there in the end. Also: The nicest staff. Seriously. You won’t see much of Dr. Zinnes, I only saw her for calibration, but everyone else was great. 
N F.
This is a nice clinic and office, and the staff are very professional. I recommend trying TMS - I have been struggling for years, and am seeing improvements now due to the TMS and my conversations with Dr. Biko, Heidi and Towanda, which took place during my sessions.
Elizabeth D.
The team is amazing, friendly and professional. From the first minute they called me for the consultation until the last treatment, they treated me as an individual and not just as another patient. The treatment itself helped me a lot and I can truly feel the improvement. I am so happy I chose Vital TMS to treat me. I couldn't thank them enough.
