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!!!!

I never heard of TMS before my doctor suggested it. I spoke with another company before Synergy Strive and I'm so happy I went with Synergy Strive! Everyone on the team is beyond amazing. They walked me through everything and what to expect.
TMS went way beyond what I expected. It cleared up my depression (I'm 4 months post treatment) and it even built new neuro-pathways to help with my residual TBI symptoms.
I now tell everyone about TMS. Synergy strive is where to go.

I'm glad I was able to start and complete my TMS treatments with Synergy Strive (Towson). It was a painless process, the treatment administrators were very kind and informative. They also checked in frequently along the process. They were quite thorough. I had about 34 treatments in total and I will say, the after TMS naps had to be the best naps I've ever had. I'm also seeing a lot of benefits from improved sleep to more enjoyment from daily activities. I've gotten my energy back and I'm so glad! I highly recommend them.

I completed TMS treatment with Synergy Strive Towson almost a year ago, but I am still thankful for them even today. The team & TMS technicians were so kind, caring, and informative. They made me feel comfortable and cared for during the entire process. It was more affordable than expected, and they worked with me and my insurance. TMS treatment has brought me full remission from my depression. I am beyond happy I tried TMS, and worked with Synergy Strive. In such a dark time, they provided me a light. It was a pleasure to work with them, and I encourage anyone considering it to give it a try.

I have been coming to the practice for over 10 years. They have helped educate me and treat me for and about my condition. This place has taught me how to give myself my life back, and without their support I wouldn’t be where I am today. Now I attend for my own well-being but also for professional development. Thank you all for all you do and sticking with me through it all.
“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
