About Empathy MindCare

There are many places to get TMS. Here's what sets ours apart.

You're cared for by the physician — not handed off.  Dr. Bermudes is a past president of the Clinical TMS Society and lead editor of the field's standard textbook on TMS in psychiatric practice. At many clinics, the physician signs the chart and a technician runs the rest. Here, your psychiatrist designs and oversees your care, and that relationship is the heart of how we work.

TMS is a tool — not the whole plan.  Brain stimulation works because it helps the brain rewire. We pair it with psychotherapy (CBT and ACT) and careful medication management so the biology and the therapy reinforce each other. One coordinated plan, not three disconnected ones.

Care across the lifespan.  Deep TMS is now FDA-cleared for ages 15 to 86 — the widest age range of any TMS system. We can help adolescents, adults, and older adults, including patients other clinics turn away.

We stay with you.  Brain-health conditions can come and go over a lifetime. We don't treat once and discharge. We help you reach remission, support you through maintenance, and we're here if you ever need to step treatment back up.

Our Testimonials

When I first came to see Dr. Bermudes I was suffering from very severe anxiety and depression, plus OCD. I had already tried many different medications to treat these disorders, none of which worked, because I am medication resistant. I was about ready to give up, but he told me not to worry and that he would help me. That’s when my TMS journey with him began, along with my healing, and I cannot put into words how grateful I am now. I feel as though I have a new lease on life! His patience, knowledge, compassion and understanding have been of immeasurable benefit to me, and the TMS is so easy to do, with none of the side effects which I was having from all those meds. I would very highly recommend him and his practice!My mind, thinking and memory is much clearer and back to normal! I feel more confident in my thinking, memory and my attention has really improved. It is amazing how clear my mind feels.

Under Dr Bermudes’ care I started TMS therapy along with weekly Zoom sessions. Dr. Bermudes was always on time and was very attentive during the sessions. He kept a positive outlook, ensuring me that my depression was treatable and manageable. Dr. Bermudes monitored my condition carefully and made changes to the frequency of TMS treatments along with gradual modifications to my medications. He kept me focused on positive events and had me plan each day’s activities. With Dr. Bermudes’ expertise and compassionate care, I am now in remission. I wake up every morning looking forward to the new day instead of laying in bed dreading what lies ahead. Dr. Bermudes has given me the tools to manage my depression long-term. I highly recommend Dr. Bermudes for mental health care.

Managing a chronic mental health condition has exposed me to many providers throughout the years. My Empathy MindCare provider’s psychiatric care positively exceeds all my prior psychiatric care experiences. My treatment has been empowering, holistic and successful. When medication was insufficient alone to treat depression, my provider was equipped to treat me with TMS. Experientially, TMS seemed to set a new, higher baseline for my overall mood. I’ve never returned to the same depth of depression I experienced prior to TMS treatment.
