MeRT: A Non-invasive, Drug-free, Powerful Tool for Mental Health
MeRT can effectively treat Depression, PTSD, Anxiety, and more… even when other treatments haven’t worked.
We can also use MeRT to optimize your brain for better mental performance.
Mental Health Treatment
Your Mental Health is Our Priority
Mental health isn’t just important — it’s everything. When you take care of your mental health, you can take care of all aspects of your life. Yet, sometimes, dealing with depression, anxiety, or other issues can be a struggle. You may have tried many things, like medications and counseling, but the symptoms remain. Or maybe they go away for a while and then return.
We know how hard that can be. And we have a new solution: MeRT®. This treatment is EEG-guided TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation), customized to your unique brain function. Using magnetic fields similar to those in an MRI, we focus on areas of the brain that are out of sync with the rest of the brain and gently guide them back into synchronization.
By doing this, we can improve your brain function and reduce your symptoms. And we can do it without medications (and their potentially dangerous side effects) or invasive surgical procedures.

Studies Show Results from TMS for Mental Health Treatment
MeRT is a highly customized form of TMS; we tailor your treatment based on your precise brain scans. This precision and customization make MeRT even more effective than standard TMS treatment. TMS is FDA-approved to treat major depressive disorder, and studies show its effectiveness in treating many mental health issues. See many research studies here.
- Major Depressive Disorder (MDD): TMS is highly effective for treating depression, particularly for those who haven’t responded well to antidepressants. Read more…
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): Both MeRT and TMS have been studied as potential treatments for PTSD, especially for individuals who haven’t responded to standard therapies. And MeRT has achieved some excellent results. Read more…
- Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD): Studies have examined the potential benefits of TMS in reducing symptoms of anxiety disorders, including GAD. Read more…
- Bipolar Disorder: TMS has shown effectiveness in managing symptoms of bipolar disorder, specifically during periods of depression.
- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD): TMS has been investigated as a potential solution for OCD, especially when standard treatments prove ineffective. Based on these studies, TMS is FDA-approved to treat OCD.
- Substance Abuse/Dependence: TMS may help decrease cravings and encourage abstinence in individuals with alcohol and cocaine addiction, according to certain studies.
- Brain Optimization: MeRT can also be used to improve the performance of your brain activity, to optimize brain function when you feel things may have slowed down or gotten a bit foggy.
Mental Health Symptoms
What Are Some Indicators of Declining Mental Health?
- Persistent sadness or depression
- Excessive worry or fear
- Rapid mood swings
- Increased irritability or anger
- Feeling overwhelmed
- Difficulty concentrating or remembering things
- Frequent negative thoughts
- Trouble making decisions
- Withdrawing from social activities
- Changes in sleep (insomnia or oversleeping)
- Changes in eating habits (loss of appetite or overeating)
- Increased use of alcohol or drugs
- Avoiding responsibilities
- Problems in relationships
- Avoiding social interactions
- Losing interest in activities once enjoyed
- Difficulty performing daily tasks
- Feeling emotionally numb or detached
These symptoms—even just a few of them—can dramatically affect your daily life. Many of our patients have seen a significant improvement in their symptoms after MeRT treatment, which can mean a greatly improved quality of life.
An aberrancy or dysfunction of the brain actually requires energy for the brain to kind of realign itself. And when you’re using that extra energy, it fatigues the brain. It makes the brain not operate optimally. It makes you confused, and it makes you tired. And, it makes you lack understanding. It’s very similar to nutrition: If you don’t have the right nutrition, the balance just isn’t there. We’re really seeking to balance the function of the brain.”

The 4 Steps of MeRT Treatment for Mental Health Conditions
The MeRT treatment process involves four specific steps, as shown below.
1. Evaluation
We perform a quantitative electroencephalogram (q-EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG). These tests measure brain wave frequencies, heart rate, and brain-heart coherence.
Once done, our scientific and clinical teams will carefully analyze the results and determine the current state and functioning of the brain.
2. Analysis & Protocol
We use a patented, scientific approach with the neurophysiological data gathered through testing to develop a highly customized treatment plan, which is aimed at encouraging healthy brain communication and function for each individual patient.
3. Delivery of MeRT Treatment
We deliver the MeRT protocol using TMS. You simply sit in a comfortable chair while a trained technician carefully positions a simple device on your head. This device produces a magnetic field to induce mild electrical currents in the targeted regions of the brain. There is no pain and no electrical currents, just a slight sensation.
4. Progress Evaluation
We will perform an additional EEG and EKG after about a week of treatment, allowing us to assess progress and make any needed modifications. In this way, we are always taking the best and most exacting approach based on the current neurological state.

When many patients come to see us, they have lost hope, as they don’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. It’s rewarding as a practitioner to help so many people realize a much better “normal” and improved quality of life.
We offer a free phone consultation if you have questions or would like to discuss our treatment protocols.
Our New Patient Coordinator will listen and explain. She can answer most questions and discuss our protocols, scheduling, fees, and other information. She is happy to assist you in any way she can.
Please call us to learn more about how our clinic and Dr. Miller can help you achieve your health goals and to schedule an initial screening to determine whether MeRT may be an option.
