“I came to Synergy Strive for TMS therapy and am so glad I did. From the very beginning, the process was handled with real professionalism — everything was well-explained, the appointments ran smoothly, and I always felt like I was in good hands. Allie was especially wonderful: warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in how I was doing each session. That kind of personal care made a big difference. Post-TMS, I’m feeling noticeably better and am really encouraged by the progress I’ve made. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Synergy Strive to anyone considering TMS — both the quality of care and the people delivering it are excellent. -2026 Susan”
“Before undergoing TMS treatments my OCD, my anxiety and my anger had pretty much taken control of my everyday life. It was hard for me to stop or function without having a day where either of those emotions would consume most of my thoughts since my first session I was skeptical these treatments would work for me. But as time went on and the team at Columbia TMS encouraged me to follow through. I began to see more than just a little transformation in my everyday life which has helped me become a better person strive to think clear and move forward without the emotional entanglements. If I can give anyone else who’s going through similar situations advice it would be to just trust the process give it a try and don’t give up before your treatment is through. -2026 Tarik”
“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.” -2026 Nina

“I suffer from major depressive disorder, chronic pain, childhood trauma and PTSD. I’ve tried literally dozens of medications, countless therapists and different types of therapies, even resorted to ECT treatment because I just couldn’t find any reason to want to live. After so many years of failed treatments and zero success I finally tried TMS because why not. I thought it was too good to be true that around 80% of patients who finish a full round of treatments has at least a 50% reduction in depressive symptoms but what did I have to lose. Even at treatment 30 out of 36 I thought it wasn’t working and it would be another failed treatment. I felt frustrated but kept at it because they kept telling me not to give up and that we should try adding an extra ten sessions which some patients need…. I listened and I did 46 treatments. Staying consistent was hard but doing TMS is the best decision I’ve ever made! I didn’t walk out after session 46 knowing I was fixed. It’s when life got hard and when suicidal ideation normally would have crept in when I realized things had changed. Life kept being hard but my brain had changed. I was able to slow down and work through things and not panic. The things I’d learned in therapy were finally clicking and everything just seemed easier to handle. I can’t fully explain it but I’ll scream from the roof tops that if you can …. DO IT!!!! It’s the one thing that has changed my life the most. Therapy is so important but this made that easier to do too. My brain literally changed! Just do it! And the staff are all super amazing. I visited both the Columbia and Towson location. Both are full of caring, wonderful people but Towson made me feel like that was home. I won’t lie, those 3-5x/ week treatments can be a little brutal … especially if you’re doubting the results but the team that works in the Towson office made it like I was just hanging out with friends! I started to get excited to go in and talk to them. I kinda miss them now that it’s over. I would recommend this treatment and this center to anyone and everyone who wants to fight to get better. Best decision I ever made!!!!” -2026 Heather
