One-Day TMS Treatment
How One Day TMS Works
Each of the 20 sessions uses intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS), a brief, focused form of TMS. Each session takes approximately 3 minutes, followed by a 30-minute rest period. The full treatment day runs approximately 10 hours.
Before treatment begins, the physician performs initial TMS mapping to personalize stimulation settings to you. A medication protocol is also prescribed for the day of treatment to support neuroplasticity. You'll have a dedicated private space throughout the day to rest, work, read, or simply decompress between sessions. Refreshments and snacks are provided, and patients can bring their own food or choose from a curated selection of local restaurant options for lunch.
What Is One Day TMS?
ONE-D (Optimized, Neuroplasticity-Enhanced Depression Treatment) is an accelerated TMS protocol that delivers a full therapeutic course, 20 sessions, in a single 10-hour day. It's designed for patients who can't commit to weeks of daily visits: people managing demanding schedules, those traveling from out of area, or anyone who simply wants an efficient, clinically supervised path to treatment. Like standard TMS, ONE-D is non-invasive and does not require anaesthesia. Unlike standard TMS, everything is completed in one appointment - under direct physician oversight throughout. ONE-D is currently considered an investigational accelerated TMS protocol; while built on established iTBS technology and the growing body of accelerated TMS research, single-day formats remain an active area of clinical study.

Built for Patients Travelling
ONE-D is particularly well-suited to patients travelling from outside the local area. A single treatment trip means just one visit to plan around, no need to arrange extended accommodation or multiple journeys.
Throughout your treatment day, Elevium provides:
- A private, comfortable space to rest or work between sessions
- Refreshments and snacks throughout the day
- A curated lunch menu from local restaurants
Is ONE-D Right for You?
Who might be a candidate for ONE-D?
ONE-D is generally suited to adults with treatment-resistant depression who need a time-condensed alternative to standard TMS — people whose work, family, caregiving, or travel commitments make daily appointments over six to eight weeks difficult, and patients travelling to Elevium from outside the local area who want to complete treatment in a single trip.
Every patient is screened by a board-certified psychiatrist before treatment. Your physician will review your medical history, current medications, and any contraindications at your evaluation appointment to confirm clinical fit.
ONE-D is offered as a self-pay program.
I believe that true healing begins when we explore beyond symptoms. I’m passionate about integrating transformative, evidence-based therapies to help people reclaim clarity, connection, and control in their lives.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TMS?
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive therapy that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It is FDA-approved for depression, OCD, and anxiety associated with depression.
How long does a TMS session take?
A typical TMS session lasts about 20 minutes. Sessions are done daily, five days a week, over several weeks depending on the treatment plan.
How many sessions do I need?
For depression, a standard course includes 36 sessions over 6 to 8 weeks. For OCD, 29 sessions are typically required. We also offer accelerated protocols (e.g., 50 sessions over 5 days) for eligible clients.
Is TMS painful?
TMS is not painful, but some people feel a tapping sensation or scalp tingling during treatment. Most clients adjust quickly and report minimal discomfort.
Can I drive home after treatment?
Yes. TMS does not affect cognition or alertness, so you can resume normal activities - including driving - immediately after your session.
Who is eligible for TMS?
TMS is generally recommended for individuals who haven’t responded well to antidepressants or other treatments. Before starting, our clinicians perform a thorough screening to confirm eligibility and ensure safety. Take the Quiz
