Thrive Integrative Psychiatry and TMS

“Before coming to Thrive Integrative Psychiatry, I was struggling with deep hopelessness. After surviving and overcoming breast cancer, I expected to feel grateful and happy, but instead I found myself in a constant internal battle. Part of me kept saying, “You should be happy—you survived cancer,” yet that wasn't how I felt. Adjusting to life after cancer was much harder than I anticipated, and I found myself struggling with depression, anxiety, and a loss of connection to my daily life. Starting TMS gave me something I desperately needed: momentum. Coming in for treatment each day helped me establish a consistent routine and begin showing up for myself again. Little by little, I started doing things that had been pushed aside, including self-care. As treatment progressed, it felt as though my brain had reset. Things that once felt overwhelming became manageable, and I began to experience life differently. Today, I am able to identify my emotions, feel them, and move forward without becoming stuck in them. I am no longer crippled by anxiety. Instead of watching life pass by, I actively participate in it. One of the most meaningful changes has been being able to return to work and re-engage with the responsibilities and activities that give my life purpose. Being present and mindful in my daily life is something I now appreciate deeply because before TMS, it felt out of reach. TMS helped me reclaim my life after cancer. It gave me the ability to move beyond simply surviving and start truly living again. I would absolutely recommend TMS to anyone who is struggling. The team at Thrive made me feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for throughout the entire process. Their commitment to helping others is evident in everything they do. Today, I feel hopeful, engaged in my life, and most importantly, validated.”

“Psychiatrist Christina Cowgill has been a fantastic provider. I appreciate the integrative approach that she takes to treatment, and have had a very positive experience under her care. She has helped me make many positive changes to my life in a short time, and I'm excited to continue seeing her. Traci has always been helpful, kind, and timely with managing medications, appointments, and other necessary communication, and has made the process of scheduling stress-free. I hope to continue using the services at Thrive for many years to come.”

“It’s hard to put into words how different I feel after completing TMS. I did not realize how much my whole body was “off” and now it’s like my whole body and brain has come to life again, it’s hard to explain. I took a chance on this because I wanted to avoid medication at all cost as I am still nursing my baby. I had no idea what to expect from treatment but I can definitely say I was out of whack and now… now I am not any more. I am getting through my days easier, with ease and calm, and my anxiety, still always there but now it’s not as loud. TMS has created this space between stressful events or occurrences in my relationship, where I feel better prepared to respond to my husband. I still have the same thoughts, but I actually have the ability now to take things as they come and not let it hold me back.”

“Six months ago I was in a very bad place and I'd never heard of Thrive or even TMS technology. The depression I've struggled with for years is now in remission, I feel great, and to say that I "got my life back" sounds like a cliche, but it's true. Thrive was a game-changer, I really can't recommend this clinic, the wonderful people there, or the technology they use highly enough.”
