North Country Behavioral Medicine provides psychiatric services to patients of all ages. We utilize multiple treatment modalities including specific psychotherapies, medication management and Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS). Specific psychotherapies include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psycho-dynamic Psychotherapy, and Eclectic Psychotherapies. Telehealth services are also available. We also offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) for patients suffering from depression that has failed to respond to medications.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a clinically proven and FDA-cleared treatment for depression and OCD. TMS works by sending short magnetic pulses to target the affected area of the brain – stimulating and activating neural pathways so that the inactive signals begin firing and working again.
Non invasive and non systemic. The only side effect is the possible minor irritation of the scalp.
A typical treatment course consists of 5 treatments per week over a
6-7 week period.
Treatments typically lasts between 3 minutes - 19 minutes. Some variation depends on your diagnosis.
You will be fully awake and alert. You can read or watch TV and return to work after your treatment with no restrictions.
North Country Behavioral Medicines offers telehealth visits which allow our patients to meet with their provider or therapist by computer, phone, or tablet. For those who cannot do video appointments most insurance companies will allow you to have your appointment by phone.
North Country Behavioral Medicines also offers medication management services. Having to take multiple medications can be confusing for some patients. We can ensure your safety and well-being by monitoring your medications.
