"Psychiatry Northwest is constantly in search of the latest innovations in TMS healing, committed to providing the best-in-class treatment to our patients," said Dr. Jesse McClelland, Medical Director of Psychiatry Northwest. "A constant struggle for those suffering from OCD is difficulty tolerating medications and treatment resistance. The prospect of treating OCD non-invasively, without requiring hospitalization or anesthesia and with minimal systemic side effects is revolutionary. BrainsWay's OCD treatment will no doubt advance the way we treat OCD in the United States. We are proud that we are now able to provide advanced Deep TMS treatment to both OCD and depression patients."

The facility will also offer affordable self-pay OCD packages, including discounts on the first 100 TMS patient packages (29 treatments) purchased.

BrainsWay's Deep TMS technology sends magnetic pulses into deep structures of the anterior cingulate cortex, the region of the brain that is known to be involved in OCD.
