You've tried the medications. You've managed the side effects. And you're still waiting to feel like yourself again.
Maybe it was the weight gain. The emotional numbness. The fatigue that made even small tasks feel impossible. Maybe the first antidepressant helped a little, the second one didn't, and by the third you started wondering if anything was going to work.
If you're a parent reading this, maybe you've watched your teenager struggle through the same cycle — medication adjustments, therapy appointments, missed school days — and you're exhausted too.
That exhaustion — the one that comes from treatment after treatment that doesn't deliver — is real. And it's not your fault.
At Amavi Integrative Mental Health, we want you to know something: you're not out of options. TMS works differently. It doesn't enter your bloodstream. It doesn't cause the side effects you've been enduring. It targets the part of your brain that regulates mood — directly, gently, and while you're fully awake.
A depression treatment that works with your brain, not against your body.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation — TMS — uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the areas of your brain that regulate mood. Think of it like physical therapy for the parts of your brain that depression has quieted down.
Unlike oral antidepressants, TMS doesn't circulate through your bloodstream. That means no weight gain. No sexual side effects. No fatigue. No emotional blunting. You stay clear-headed throughout.
Each session is simple, predictable, and designed around your comfort.
You sit, awake and alert
You settle into a comfortable chair. No sedation, no anesthesia — you're fully present the entire time.
Precise, targeted stimulation
A magnetic coil is positioned gently on your head. You'll hear a clicking sound and feel a light tapping sensation on your scalp.
Back to your day, same day
Each session lasts about 20 minutes. When it's over, you drive yourself home or back to work. No downtime.
Integrative care. Flexible protocols. A team that treats the whole person.
You're treated by an integrative clinical team, not a TMS technician.
At Amavi, TMS is part of a comprehensive treatment plan — not a standalone procedure. Your care team includes psychiatrists, therapists, and specialists who coordinate across every service you need, from medication management to psychotherapy to ketamine-assisted therapy. You're not starting over with a new provider. You're adding a powerful tool to an existing relationship.
Standard, accelerated, or off-label — your treatment fits your life.
Most TMS centers offer only one protocol. Amavi offers multiple: traditional daily TMS over a 6-week course, accelerated/One-D protocols that compress treatment into a condensed timeline, and off-label applications for conditions beyond depression when clinically appropriate. Your psychiatrist recommends the right path based on your diagnosis, your schedule, and your goals.
Adolescents and adults are both welcome here.
Depression doesn't only affect adults. TMS is FDA-cleared for adolescents and adults with depression. Families are part of the healing process at Amavi, and our team is experienced in supporting younger patients through treatment.
Comprehensive care under one roof.
Alongside TMS, Amavi offers medication management, psychotherapy, ketamine-assisted psychotherapy, neuropsychological testing, and geriatric psychiatry. Whether TMS is your primary treatment or one part of a broader plan, your care is coordinated by a single team that knows your full story.
We're a trusted Colorado practice, not a corporate chain.
Amavi is an established integrative mental health practice serving Westminster and the surrounding Colorado community. Patients come to us because we combine evidence-based innovation with genuine, long-term relationships — not high-volume protocols.
Real clinicians. Real expertise. Right here in Westminster.

Not sure where you fall? That's exactly what your consultation is for. Our team reviews your history and tells you honestly whether TMS makes sense — no pressure either way.
Amavi's AMPA TMS system is FDA-cleared for these indications. During your consultation, your psychiatrist will confirm whether TMS is clinically appropriate for you.
From your first question to your first session — here's exactly what happens.
01
Your consultation
You'll meet with an Amavi psychiatrist to review your history, your previous treatments, and your goals. We confirm whether TMS is clinically appropriate and answer every question you have.
02
Insurance verification
Our team handles the paperwork. We verify your benefits and walk you through exactly what your coverage looks like before anything begins — no surprise bills.
03
Your first session (mapping)
Your clinician maps the precise location and strength of stimulation for your brain. This first visit takes a little longer and sets up every session that follows.
04
Your treatment course
Standard TMS runs about 20 minutes per session, five days a week, for roughly six weeks. Accelerated protocols compress that timeline. Your psychiatrist recommends the right path.
05
Ongoing support
Your progress is tracked throughout, and your broader Amavi care team stays involved — therapy, medication management, and follow-up all coordinated in one place.
