Why It Matters

When Everyday Stress Makes You Look Into TMS Therapy

Feeling Stuck Is More Common Than You Think

Some weeks the weight never quite lifts. You sleep but do not feel rested, small worries loop at night, and the afternoon snack becomes a daily habit you cannot shake. You keep showing up for work and family, yet it takes more effort than it used to. Maybe you already see a counselor or take medication, or maybe you are simply looking for something drug-free to add to the healthy habits you already have.
TMS therapy with Exomind offers a gentle, technology-assisted form of wellness support. Focused magnetic pulses reach areas of the brain linked to mood, stress response and self-regulation while you sit awake and relaxed. There are no needles, no medication and no recovery time. Exomind complements, and never replaces, care from a licensed mental health professional or physician, and experiences vary from person to person.

Understanding Exomind

What Is TMS Therapy with Exomind?

How Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Works

TMS therapy stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation, which sends gentle magnetic pulses through the scalp to targeted brain regions. Exomind by BTL is an FDA cleared TMS system for depression that also supports stress relief, sleep and appetite regulation. The National Institute of Mental Health explains brain stimulation in general terms.

You sit upright and awake while an applicator rests against your head and delivers pulses that feel like light tapping. There is no medication or sedation, and support tends to build gradually across a series.

Who Should Wait or Avoid Exomind

  • Anyone with metal in or near the head, such as plates, clips, shrapnel or cochlear implants

Your Visit

What Happens During an Exomind Session

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Consultation

    Dr. Chapman listens to your goals and reviews your health history, medications and implants.

  2. Screening

  3. Positioning

    You sit back comfortably while the Exomind applicator is placed gently against your head.

  4. Session

    We talk about how you feel and plan the rest of your series before you head home.

Exomind Side Effects, Safety and Limits

What to Know Before You Start

Common, Mild Effects

Most clients go straight back to their day. Effects people report with transcranial magnetic stimulation are usually mild and short lived: a tapping or tingling feeling on the scalp during the session, mild scalp tenderness, a light headache or brief lightheadedness. These typically settle within a few hours.

Screening and Rare Risks

Magnetic stimulation is not right for everyone. Published safety guidance identifies seizures as the most serious, rare risk, which is why we screen for seizure history, metal in or near the head, pacemakers, implanted defibrillators or neurostimulators, and pregnancy before your first session. Most published research studies TMS protocols for depression; Exomind-specific evidence is newer and smaller, so we describe results carefully.

Important Wellness Disclaimer

Exomind is FDA cleared to treat depression in adults and as an adjunct for OCD. Support for anxiety, sleep and appetite is offered as a wellness adjunct and is not a cleared indication. Exomind does not replace care from a licensed mental health professional or physician. Do not stop or change any medication without talking to your prescriber. Results vary. If you are in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.

Frequently Asked Questions About TMS Therapy with Exomind

Is Exomind a treatment for anxiety and depression?
Yes for depression. Exomind is a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) system that is FDA cleared to treat depression in adults, and it was recently cleared as an adjunct treatment for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). For anxiety, Exomind is not a stand-alone treatment. It is cleared to reduce anxiety symptoms in adults being treated for depression, and we offer it as an adjunct that supports a calmer response to everyday stress and worry. Exomind works alongside care from your physician or licensed mental health professional, not in place of it. If you are in crisis or thinking about self-harm, call or text 988 or call 911 right away.
Can Exomind help with OCD?
Yes, as part of a treatment plan. In 2026 the FDA cleared Exomind as an adjunct for the treatment of adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder, meaning it is used alongside therapy or medication rather than instead of them. If you or a family member lives with OCD in Franklin or Williamson County, talk with your mental health provider and then call us to discuss whether a series fits your plan.
How much does TMS therapy with Exomind cost in Franklin?
Pricing is personalized and quoted at your consultation, based mainly on how many sessions your series includes. You receive a written plan with your total before you commit. Exomind is a self-pay service, HSA funds are accepted, and patient financing through Cherry is coming soon, so ask about payment options when you call (615) 628-7419.
How long does an Exomind session take?
Each Exomind session takes about 20-30 minutes. You stay seated and awake, and there is no sedation or recovery time, so most clients fit a visit into a lunch break or on the way home. Your first visit runs a little longer because it includes a consultation and safety screening before any stimulation begins.
Does Exomind TMS therapy hurt?
Most people do not find it painful. The magnetic pulses feel like a light, rhythmic tapping on the scalp, and some clients notice mild tingling or scalp tenderness. A brief, mild headache can occur and usually fades within a few hours. Tell us during the session if anything feels uncomfortable and we can pause and check in.
When might I notice a difference?
It varies from person to person. Many clients describe gradual changes partway through a series, such as more settled sleep or feeling less weighed down, while others notice little. Some clients also report improvements in focus. We check in regularly so you can share how you feel, and we never promise a specific outcome.
How many Exomind sessions will I need?
Exomind is delivered as a series rather than a single visit, and your session count is planned at your consultation based on your goals and schedule. Sessions are usually spaced across several weeks. After a series, some clients choose occasional maintenance visits, which we discuss together rather than building into a fixed package.
How is Exomind different from clinical rTMS?
Exomind is an FDA cleared TMS system, so the technology is the same family as the rTMS used in psychiatry practices. The difference is setting and protocol: here sessions are shorter, self-pay and led by Dr. Chapman with screening before every series. If you have a diagnosed psychiatric condition, keep your psychiatrist or physician involved.
Can I keep taking my medication during Exomind sessions?
Yes, and please do not stop or change any medication without talking to your prescriber first. Exomind is designed to sit alongside your existing care, not replace it. Bring a list of your current medications to your consultation so we can review your health history and screen you properly before your first session.
Who is a good candidate for TMS therapy with Exomind?
Adults 18 and older in generally good health who want drug-free support for mood, stress, sleep or cravings are often good candidates. People with metal in or near the head, implanted devices such as pacemakers, a seizure history or a current pregnancy should not have Exomind. We confirm your fit during a screening consultation.
