An Advanced Way to Treat Depression

NeuroStar delivers our advanced and unique form of TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), a non-invasive therapy that uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that are underactive in people suffering from depression.

"We can choose to wallow and stay in our own blank mindset of mediocracy or we can pull ourselves up out of our tide of emotional turbulence and face the pain and road blocks of frustrations to see the reward of amazing self determination while inner battling resilience focusing on our intrinsic HOPE for change."

Testimonials

"I have been seeing Steven M Gordon since 2015. I have been to probably every therapist in the state of Maryland trying to find the one who seemed like they really cared about me and knew what I was trying to communicate with them. I finally found that in Steve! He is knowledgeable and attentive and makes me feel like a person and not just a patient. I moved out of state and tried to find someone who was even slightly comparable to him and just never could. Steve and I now have phone call sessions and I couldn't be more appreciative and am happy I get to continue working with him after all this time. I would refer him to any one! He is truly one of the nicest and most professional people I have yet to meet." - Summer S

Testimonials

"I can't thank you enough for bringing TMS to your practice. Before my TMS treatments I was just existing. Life was dull and gray. I was just moving through life. As I started the treatments I noticed that the grayness of the world started to lift. I didn't trust it at first, but as the treatment continued I felt so much better, more alive than I've felt in many years. Now I'm finished the treatments and I continue to feel like life has purpose, meaning and joy." - Beth G

Testimonials

"Starting around August of 2023 in an effort to get off medication due to a new upcoming career change Mr. Steve Gordon recommended this new treatment called “TMS”. While I have never heard of it and was very skeptical, I trusted Steve as I have been seeing him since I was a kid.

At first I was still skeptical if this was going to do anything, it seemed too good to be true.  It was about week 4 into the treatments that I noticed a weight started to lift off my chest, I wasn’t as anxious and started to have more energy."-Tyler D

Testimonials

"Getting closer to the end of the treatments I started to feel brand new, I didn’t worry about the little things in life and was able to focus on the bigger picture and find who I really was, sadness didn’t seem relevant anymore.

The hardest part was saying goodbye to the Columbia team that was there for me every day and every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend this treatment for anyone who suffers from major depression or anxiety."- Tyler D

Testimonials

"Transcranial magnetic stimulation has changed my life. I believe TMS has brought big changes to the mental health world. After being on several different medications for depression and anxiety I have been lucky enough to find something that has worked. TMS with Synergy Strive didn’t give me ANY side effects and the process didn’t  take long.
I went daily for a few weeks, maybe a total 20 mins a day. At first I was skeptical for the few daily visits. But the long term gains far surpass the short term loss. 1000%! I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
I find myself more calm with the ability to take in new information clearly. My response to people or situations that would’ve normally set me over the edge has changed for the better.  I’m more pleasant to be around and open to new ideas and experiences.
Final thought- I feel great. I highly recommend this to anyone."
Nina

“...it wasn't until my final treatments that I started to notice a profound change in my mood and personality. I encourage anyone who has reservations about the effectiveness of TMS or questions the legitimacy of TMS therapy to remain patient and trust the process. It truly is life-altering!” G.J.

Testimonials

“TMS came at a time when I needed it most. I was destitute, devoid of motivation and drive. The pulses...weren’t painful. 36 treatments came and went faster than I expected and, as it stands, I feel good…I feel confident and in control... the light, is radiating again. I have the motivation and drive to improve my station… Eager to see the beauty in life again.” B.G.

Testimonials

"Just concluded my final session with TMS with Synergy Strive. The ongoing results are amazing with my days having gotten overall easier to work through with my daily routines seeming more simple and grounding rather than ongoing tasks. The staff were all amazing people to be around and they were there to support and guide the whole way. I felt very trusting in their practices and got to leave with coffee and a snack after each session too... so who doesn’t love that!"
