Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy truly makes a difference for people with persistent depression.

That’s why from now through January 2026, AwakeningsKC TMS & Psychiatry is introducing our “First Visit Support Program,” a special initiative designed to make starting TMS therapy simpler and more accessible than ever. It might even eliminate out-of-pocket costs for your first session!

If past treatments for depression and other mental health disorders haven’t worked, TMS can be your path to a happier, healthier life. Reach out to our team today via the link to learn more about this exciting new program: https://tinyurl.com/2znjz347.

When it comes to mental health, even the smallest decision can open the door to healing, stability and hope. That decision might be asking about new treatment options, setting a boundary, or choosing to prioritize your needs. Progress doesn’t happen at once; it starts with one intentional step forward. You don’t need to have everything figured out to start.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive treatment option that may help individuals who haven’t found relief through traditional approaches. At AwakeningsKC, we offer TMS as part of our commitment to personalized, evidence-based care.

We’re here to support you and help make that first step feel possible. When you’re ready, reach out to learn more about TMS and how we can help. Head to the link to contact us: https://hubs.la/Q03YD5Cc0.

Fun as the holidays can be, they’re also a difficult time for many. But they don’t have to be. Here are five tips to help YOU maintain your mental health over the holidays:

1. Manage Your Expectations: Sometimes, what we expect isn’t what actually happens. You can feel different things over the holidays and that’s OK.
2. Be Kind to Yourself: The holidays are often stressful. If you feel like you’re overwhelmed, take a break and engage in a little self-care.
3. Have a Plan: If things start to feel a little extra, create a plan to fall back on. Reaching out to a friend or doing something you enjoy can work wonders if you’re feeling stressed.
4. Focus on Good Memories: If you’ve lost people close to you, the holidays can be hard. Try to recall fond memories of your loved ones.
5. Ask for Help: If you feel like there’s nowhere else to turn, you can always reach out for professional help. There’s no shame in it, and it could potentially mean finding a new perspective.

AwakeningsKC provides expert outpatient help for depression, anxiety and more. We provide transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy, ketamine infusion therapy, and more. We’ll be your partners as you build a happier life.

Happy Thanksgiving! This week of gratitude also kicks off the holiday season.

But what happens when the most wonderful time of the year…isn’t?

For a lot of us, the holiday season can be the time of the year when we really struggle. We miss the people we’ve lost, we worry if we’re going to let our friends and family down, and the hustle and bustle of the season only seems to stress us out.

Here’s some tips to make this time of the year a little easier:
✔️ Listen to your body. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s okay to step away for a bit.
✔️ If you’re uncomfortable with something, you don’t have to participate.
✔️ Make sure you practice self-care – take a break now and then.

There is NO shame in feeling like this time of the year seems less than magical. If you need some extra support, reach out to AwakeningsKC. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a groundbreaking and effective way to treat anxiety and depression, especially if they aren’t responding to your usual treatment.

Happy holidays from AwakeningsKC, and remember: you’re not alone. Click on the following link to learn more: https://hubs.la/Q03QS38Q0

Everybody feels a little down or nervous from time to time. But depression and anxiety are different: they last.

They’re also connected. An episode of major depressive disorder can also make you feel incredibly anxious: When’s it going to end? An anxiety disorder (especially an anxiety attack) can make you feel depressed because it’s just so exhausting.

Worst of all, what happens when traditional depression and anxiety treatment don’t seem to work?

At AwakeningsKC, we know how awful treatment-resistant depression and anxiety can be. It’s why we make use of TMS, or transcranial magnetic stimulation. This effective treatment can help where other treatments can’t.

If anxiety and depression feel like they’re running your life, we’ll help you get back in control. Reach out to us via the following link: https://hubs.la/Q03QRS9z0

It’s Movember: November’s the month where men grow mustaches to raise money for – and call attention to – men’s health, including testicular cancer, prostate cancer and mental health.

Even the strongest men struggle. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), one in 10 men struggles with depression and anxiety…but more than half of those men never seek treatment.

Mental health is as important as physical health, but cultural assumptions, stigma and more act as roadblocks stopping men from taking care of themselves. AwakeningsKC provides effective outpatient treatment in a safe and confidential setting. We specialize in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a safe and effective way to treat depression, anxiety and more.

This Movember can be an early hopeful start for a bright 2026. Learn why by clicking the following link: https://hubs.la/Q03RYfvP0

We offer effective ways to combat stress, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an evidence-based way to treat depression, anxiety and other disorders that haven’t responded to traditional forms of treatment.

For some, the traditional methods for treating depression work.

For others, their symptoms need a little extra support. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive way to treat the symptoms of depression and other disorders. TMS uses precise electromagnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain affected by depression.

Painless and with nearly no downtime afterwards, TMS is proven, effective and easy. Our team at AwakeningsKC will help you through the entire process, from answering your questions about insurance to your first TMS session.
