TMS in Bankers Hill, San Diego

 

Evidence‑based TMS treatment delivered in the heart of Bankers Hill

Silverlining Psychiatry provides Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) in a calm, private setting located in Bankers Hill, one of San Diego’s most central and accessible neighborhoods. Patients come to us from Hillcrest, Mission Hills, Downtown, North Park, and surrounding areas for a treatment experience that is clinically grounded, discreet, and overseen by a board‑certified psychiatrist.

TMS is an FDA‑cleared, non‑invasive treatment for depression and OCD, and an evidence‑based option for patients whose symptoms have not improved with medication or therapy alone.

• Quiet, private, and designed for patient comfort

• Centrally located between major San Diego neighborhoods

• Easily accessible from the 5 and 163 freeways

Patients often schedule sessions before work, after work, or during lunch breaks due to the convenience of the location.

 

What TMS Treats

TMS is an evidence‑based treatment for:

• Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)

• Treatment‑resistant depression

• Obsessive‑Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

• Anxiety symptoms that accompany depression

• Cognitive symptoms such as low motivation, poor focus, and emotional blunting

TMS is non‑medication, non‑sedating, and does not require anesthesia.

 

What TMS Sessions Feel Like

TMS sessions in our Bankers Hill office are comfortable and straightforward:

• You sit in a treatment chair

• A small magnetic coil rests lightly against your scalp

• You feel tapping sensations during the pulses

• You remain awake and alert

There is no downtime, no sedation, and no disruption to your routine.
