Springs Health adds Exomind TMS therapy for stress and depression. Dr. Ojimba says non-invasive options appeal to patients avoiding medication side effects. Treatment requires no downtime.
Springs Health, a mental wellness clinic in Columbia, Maryland, has added Exomind, a non-invasive brain stimulation treatment using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The clinic is targeting patients with stress, anxiety, burnout, and cognitive performance issues who want an alternative to medication.
TMS delivers magnetic pulses to brain regions involved in mood and cognition. The FDA cleared it for major depressive disorder years ago. Adoption in outpatient clinics has been uneven, limited by cost and insurance hurdles. Exomind is a branded version of the same mechanism.
The treatment offers a contrast to medication-based approaches. Patients can return to normal activities immediately after a session. No needles, no anesthesia, no recovery time. Medication can take weeks to show effect and often causes side effects like weight gain or sexual dysfunction.
Springs Health already offered psychiatric care and therapy. Exomind fills a gap for patients who have not responded to first-line treatments or who want to avoid drugs entirely. The clinic becomes a one-stop shop for technology-driven mental health in the local market.
A standard TMS course runs 20 to 30 sessions, typically five days a week for four to six weeks. Out-of-pocket costs can reach several thousand dollars. Insurance coverage has expanded in recent years. Many plans still require prior authorization and proof that patients tried at least two medications first.
The Columbia market includes other TMS providers like Greenbrook TMS and NeuroStar. Springs Health differentiates through personalized treatment planning and its existing patient base.
The addition of Exomind reflects Springs Health's broader move toward integrating advanced therapies with individualized care. For someone evaluating options, the key question is whether the clinic's protocol matches the evidence base. Standard TMS uses specific frequency and targeting. Springs Health did not release details on the exact device or parameters it will use.
