NeuroStar® Provider

TMS Therapy in South Miami, FL

FDA-cleared Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for depression and other mental health conditions — a non-invasive, drug-free treatment option.

What Is TMS Therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses precisely targeted pulsed magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the areas of the brain responsible for mood regulation and depression. At Mind & Soul Therapy & Acupuncture in South Miami, Florida, we offer NeuroStar® Advanced TMS Therapy — a well-studied TMS system supported by clinical research.

TMS is primarily used for patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) who have not responded adequately to antidepressant medication. Unlike medications, TMS targets the brain directly without affecting the entire body, and is generally not associated with systemic medication side effects such as weight gain, sexual dysfunction, or sedation.

Our TMS program in South Miami is overseen by Mariela Padro, MD, a board-certified psychiatrist with extensive experience in integrative mental health care.

TMS treatment is delivered in person at our South Miami office. Psychiatric consultation and follow-up may be available by telehealth when clinically appropriate.

Conditions Treated with TMS

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD)
Treatment-resistant depression
