At BrainBody TMS PLLC, our mission is to support children (ages 12+) and adults on their journey to mental and physical wellness through comprehensive, evidence-based care. We focus on sustainable healing integrating medication, TMS, and lifestyle approaches to help individuals achieve lasting mental and physical wellness.
At BrainBody, we believe meaningful healing happens through connection — between the brain and body, and between patient and provider. Our approach is collaborative, personalized, and rooted in the understanding that mental health is an ongoing journey, not a one-time intervention. We provide personalized treatment plans that integrate medication management, therapy, coaching, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Our collaborative approach includes communication with outside providers to ensure coordinated, whole-person care.
Services are available in person at our Skokie office or via telehealth, offering flexibility and comfort for each individual’s needs. Our services include comprehensive treatment planning, medication management, and TMS therapy when appropriate. We combine lifestyle and wellness strategies that support whole-person healing. Working collaboratively with each patient to create a personalized plan, track progress over time, and maintain results through ongoing partnership and maintenance care.
