NeuroStar® TMS Therapy
FDA-cleared, non-medication depression treatment
TMS NeuroHealth Centers: First Non-Drug Treatment for Depression Center in Tyson’s Corner
It is now official! Our first Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers location is open for business. The first of a national network of centers offering Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Therapy, Tyson’s Corner (McLean, Virginia) opened its doors in November, 2011. TMS Therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive medical treatment for patients with depression without any of the side effects typically experienced with antidepressant medication, such as weight gain, sexual problems or fatigue. It uses highly focused magnetic pulses to gently stimulate the area of the brain that controls mood. This specific area has been identified as under active in people who suffer from depression. Stimulation leads to the release of chemical neurotransmitters, relieving the symptoms of depression.

TMS treatments take less than an hour and are conducted in-office at our comfortable TMS NeuroHealth Centers, over a six week period. Patients can resume normal activities, such as driving themselves home or to work, immediately following treatment.
Dr. Niku Singh, Medical Director of Greenbrook TMS NeuroHealth Centers, Tysons Corner commented, “depression is a physical condition and we are excited to offer this most advanced targeted therapy that stimulates the area of the brain affected. Studies have shown that 1 in 2 patients experience significant improvement and 1 in 3 are completely free of depression symptoms after six weeks of TMS Therapy. These results exceed what can be expected from anti-depressant medication”.

At just 20 years old, Chloe found herself struggling with depression—a challenge that made everyday life feel overwhelming and joy hard to find. Working as a Behavioral Health Technician at Greenbrook Mental Wellness Centers, she had witnessed firsthand how NeuroStar® TMS therapy helped patients improve. It was that experience that ultimately led her to seek treatment for herself. Chloe's decision marked a turning point. She responded remarkably well to NeuroStar® TMS, echoing the very outcomes she used to celebrate in others. What followed was a transformation not only in her mental health but in her overall experience of young adulthood. The Care Team at Greenbrook played an essential role in her recovery. Chloe described the Care Team as “absolutely amazing,” noting their kindness and commitment to checking in regularly. Their support made the treatment process feel less clinical and more personal—a space of trust and comfort she looked forward to each day. As treatment progressed, the changes in Chloe’s life began to blossom. She found herself embracing experiences she once would’ve dismissed. One particular moment that stands out is a pottery class she took with a friend—except this wasn’t just any pottery class. It included cuddling baby goats and lambs while painting.
