Get relief from symptoms like disrupted sleep, panic attacks, irritability, hypervigilance, difficulties concentrating, sexual dysfunction, and more. Our protocols include Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) , ketamine infusions, the dual sympathetic reset – an advanced stellate ganglion block (SGB), and more.

How much is TMS out of pocket? Does TMS therapy hurt? While there may be some minor discomfort at the treatment site (where the device touches your head), it generally subsides within the first week or treatment. There is no sedation, or impact on your alertness. You can read, watch TV, or talk with your treatment coordinator during your session, and you can drive home immediately after treatment.

Each TMS session lasts about 20 minutes. Since TMS does not require anesthesia, patients can return to daily life, work, etc. immediately following a session.

The recommended treatment course for TMS is five days a week for 36 treatments continuously. However, our providers will work with you to accommodate your schedule without compromising the outcome of the treatment.

During a TMS treatment session, you will sit on a reclined and comfortable chair. You will be required to stay awake, and you can read, watch videos, or simply relax.

We don’t recommend the use of cell phones during the TMS therapy. However, an iPad may be provided during treatment for entertainment or other purposes.

Dr. Eugene Lipov

I’m the Chief Medical Officer at Stella Center. For over fifteen years, my goal has been to help people experiencing mental health challenges find relief. As an anesthesiologist, I discovered the use of stellate ganglion block (SGB) for treating PTSD, eventually perfecting the protocol into the dual sympathetic reset (DSR), an advanced stellate ganglion block (SGB). Symptoms we treat include disrupted sleep, panic attacks, irritability, hypervigilance, difficulties concentrating, depression, sexual dysfunction, and more.

We offer innovative treatments and therapies like TMS therapy, dual sympathetic reset, ketamine infusion therapy, and integration therapy. We approach mental health challenges as injuries rather than disorders. Our treatments aim to heal the injury, not just manage the symptoms. Our protocols are fast, effective, and powerful, allowing people to feel better.
Our protocols are brief, effective, and powerful, allowing people to feel better faster and maintain long-lasting gains. Stella Center’s board-certified providers and field-leading experts have treated over 8,000 people across 20 locations.

Dr. Karen DeCocker

I’m the Director of Advanced Practice Providers at Stella Center and oversee our assessment team. I became a nurse practitioner in 2007 after 10 years of hospital nursing experience. We specialize in identifying innovative treatments & therapies that can help relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD & TBI. After completing a virtual assessment together that accounts for medical, biological, psychological & social factors, I provide individualized treatment recommendations across our protocols: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, the dual sympathetic reset (an advanced stellate ganglion block), ketamine infusions, integration therapy, and more.

Our priority is your outcome. It starts with an assessment with me to identify what treatments can decrease your symptoms. For some, it’s DSR SGB injections to calm the fight-or-flight response. For others, it’s ketamine infusions & integrations to rebuild neuron pathways & create healthy habits. I hope to be your expert guide in healing.
