“I would recommend Cal TMS Oceanside to anyone. About two months ago, I completed 36 treatments of TMS for persistent severe depression. I had previously tried multiple antidepressants and counseling over the span of 17 years. I was hopeless, felt like I was getting worse, and was experiencing some unwanted side effects from my mental health medications, so I decided to give TMS a try. Chelsea and Supreenia were a joy to see every day, and I ended up looking forward to going in for a treatment. Since completing the treatment, I no longer struggle with daily suicidal thoughts, and I have been able to wean down to the lowest dose of medicine that I have been on in over 15 years and still feel like a functioning human. I look forward to being able to wean off my meds completely with the comfort of knowing I can complete another treatment if I experience a relapse. Thanks for everything!”
“My experience with CalTMS was amazing from the first call. The staff are all super helpful, kind, and were a pleasure to work with! From the appointment timing to the positioning during treatments, they always went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable during treatments. After battling depression for so long, I was desperate to feel some glimmer of hope again, and TMS proved very beneficial for me. After a few sessions, I felt so much less anxiety, and after a month, I could tell I was getting my old self back. By the end of my treatments, I was no longer crying at visits but making jokes and laughing again. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity to have such an amazing team to help me get back to being me. Thank you so very much!”
“This treatment has improved my quality of life in ways I didn’t think it would have! I didn’t have any set expectations starting the treatment, and before I knew it, I was noticing small changes in my life for the better. I am able to think more clearly and have better habits to get my life back in control. I was nervous coming in because TMS isn’t something common. I was also afraid it was going to hurt. But the staff made me feel comfortable and assured me that it wasn’t as scary as I made it seem. They made sure to get my feedback at every step of the way to make sure I was getting the most out of everything.”

It’s not you, it’s the brain.
Depression is often linked to reduced activity in a specific brain region known as the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, which is located in the front-left part of the brain. This area plays a key role in mood regulation, decision-making, and attention.
When the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex functions properly, it helps activate other regions of the brain, leading to a more balanced mood, improved focus, and stronger working memory.

“I work with military families because I understand the cost of service—not only to the individual in uniform, but to the entire family. After more than 26 years of active-duty service in the U.S. Navy, I have seen firsthand how deployments, relocations, and sustained operational stress shape emotional health, relationships, and family dynamics.
Military spouses often carry invisible burdens: frequent moves, career disruptions, prolonged separations, and the responsibility of holding everything together while their partner serves. Children grow up navigating change, uncertainty, and absence in ways that are rarely acknowledged. These experiences matter, and they deserve thoughtful, informed care.
I chose to devote my career to military families because they deserve a psychiatrist who truly understands their world—the structure, the expectations, the sacrifices, and the resilience. My goal is to provide a space where service members and their loved ones feel seen, respected, and supported, and where care is grounded in both clinical excellence and lived experience.”
