Discover how TMS therapy at Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture offers a transformative, non-invasive path for those struggling with treatment-resistant depression in South Miami.

Living with depression can feel like navigating a storm that never seems to pass. For many, traditional medication or talk therapy provides relief, but for others, these avenues are simply not enough. At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture, located in the heart of South Miami, we believe that everyone deserves a life defined by wellness, not symptoms. That is why we are proud to offer TMS therapy as a breakthrough option for those seeking effective depression treatment.

Section: What is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS therapy, is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. Unlike traditional treatments that rely on systemic medication, TMS specifically targets the regions of the brain known to be underactive in individuals suffering from depression. It is a painless, outpatient procedure that allows patients to return to their daily routines immediately after their session, making it a convenient choice for busy professionals and families in the Miami area.

Section: Why Consider TMS for Treatment-Resistant Depression?

Treatment-resistant depression occurs when standard antidepressants fail to yield the desired results. This can be incredibly isolating, but TMS therapy offers a new horizon. Because it is drug-free, it avoids many of the common side effects associated with pharmaceutical antidepressants, such as weight gain, fatigue, or brain fog. Many of our patients find that TMS helps them regain their emotional equilibrium, allowing them to engage more deeply with their lives and loved ones.

Section: A Holistic Approach to Mental Health in South Miami

At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture, we understand that mental health is multifaceted. Dr. Mariela Padro, our board-certified psychiatrist, works hand-in-hand with Rafael Padro, our Doctor of Oriental Medicine, to ensure a truly integrative healing plan. While TMS therapy serves as a powerful tool for neurological recalibration, we often combine it with other modalities for comprehensive wellness. Whether you need acupuncture for stress reduction, BHRT for hormonal balancing, or peptide therapy for physiological optimization, our clinic provides a tailored, holistic experience.

Section: Our Commitment to Your Wellbeing

We recognize that the journey to mental wellness is personal. Whether you prefer in-person visits at our South Miami clinic or the convenience of our telehealth services, our team is dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care. We view mental health as a partnership. By combining advanced technology like TMS with ancient healing practices like acupuncture, we address the root causes of distress rather than just masking the symptoms. If you are struggling to find the right path forward, you are not alone.

What to Expect

What Happens During Your First Visit

We know starting therapy or psychiatry can feel intimidating. Here's exactly what to expect — no surprises, no pressure.

Step 1: Schedule Your Visit

2 minutes

Call 305-456-1014 or book online. Our team verifies your insurance and finds a time that works for you — often same-week.

Step 2: Intake Questionnaire

10 minutes

Before your visit, you'll complete a brief intake form covering your symptoms, history, medications, and goals. This helps us prepare for your appointment.

Step 3: Comprehensive Evaluation

60 minutes

Your provider conducts a thorough evaluation — not a rushed 15-minute check. We explore your mental health history, lifestyle, hormones, sleep, and physical health to identify root causes.

Step 4: Personalized Treatment Plan

Same visit

Together, you and your provider build a personalized plan — which may include therapy, medication, TMS, acupuncture, BHRT, or lifestyle changes. No two plans are alike.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Ongoing Care

Ongoing

We schedule follow-ups to track your progress and adjust your plan. Most patients begin noticing improvement within 2-4 weeks of starting treatment.
