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.

Proven Results

About 75% of patients who complete a full course of TMS experience a significant improvement in their symptoms. Nearly half achieve full remission, meaning their depression symptoms disappear entirely.

Convenient and Flexible

TMS sessions take about 20 minutes, and you can drive yourself to and from appointments. Most treatment plans, which are typically covered by insurance, last 6 to 8 weeks.

Covered by Insurance

TMS is covered by all major insurance providers for patients with treatment-resistant depression. If you’ve tried multiple antidepressants and therapy without success, there’s a strong chance your plan includes coverage.

Meet Dr. Ruchira Densert

Dr. Densert

Dr. Ruchira Densert is a board-certified psychiatrist with over 23 years of clinical experience and specialized training in advanced psychiatric care. She provides evidence-based, personalized treatment plans tailored to each individual’s needs.

“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.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“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. 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.”
