If depression or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) has kept going despite your efforts to feel better, it makes sense to look at every option available to you. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive, non-medication treatment that is often used alongside medication and therapy, and Bold Steps offers it as part of our treatment approach at our Harrisburg location.
TMS is for adults 18 and older, and every person is evaluated by our clinical team before starting. If you want to know whether it could be a fit, call us at (717) 896-1880 or verify your benefits online.
TMS is a treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in parts of the brain involved in mood and thinking. It does not involve surgery or an implant, and sessions are typically done while you are seated. TMS is often used alongside medication and therapy. Whether medication continues during TMS depends on your individual treatment plan, and our clinical team will talk with you about how TMS fits with the care you are already receiving.
Bold Steps uses a BrainsWay device. During a session, a magnetic coil is placed against your head and delivers pulses to a targeted area of the brain. Our clinicians guide you through each step, so you know what to expect before your first session.
At this location, we offer TMS for two conditions.
If you’re not sure whether what you’re going through is depression, OCD or something else, our team can talk it through with you.
A typical course of TMS is daily sessions for 4 to 6 weeks. Because treatment works best when it is steady, patients need to be able to attend regularly.
For many people, that means planning around work, family and transportation before starting. Our team can help you think through your schedule during your evaluation, so a course is realistic for your life.
TMS is not right for everyone, and that is one reason every patient is evaluated by our clinical team first.
If TMS is not the right fit, our team can talk with you about other ways to get support.
Getting started is simple, and you do not need to have everything figured out before you call.
Insurance plans differ in what they cover, so we encourage you to verify your benefits. Our team can help you understand your options before you commit to anything. You can learn more about TMS cost and insurance, or verify your insurance here.

No. TMS at Bold Steps is an outpatient treatment, so you come in for your sessions and go home afterward. Bold Steps does not provide inpatient or residential care.
Piercings and similar items near the head must be removed before treatment. If you have metal anywhere in the head area, tell the clinical team during your evaluation so they can advise you.
Not necessarily. TMS is often used alongside medication, and whether your medication continues depends on your individual treatment plan. Do not stop or change any medication without talking with your prescriber. Our clinical team will talk with you about how TMS fits with the care you already receive.
