Dr. Jessica Jackson, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Jessica Jackson, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Augusta Mental Health & TMS in Augusta, Georgia, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for Chronic Pain, Bipolar, Tinnitus. Jessica is dedicated to providing patients in the Richmond County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Jessica completed medical training at Harvard Medical School, one of the nation's leading programs in psychiatry and neuroscience. This rigorous academic foundation provided deep expertise in neuroanatomy, psychopharmacology, and the biological mechanisms underlying mood disorders — knowledge that directly informs the precision of TMS treatment delivery. With over 27 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Jessica Jackson, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Augusta Mental Health & TMS and previous clinical appointments. This extensive hands-on experience translates into refined clinical judgment — the ability to recognize subtle treatment responses, adjust protocols in real time, and guide patients through the full course of therapy with confidence. Jessica believes that effective TMS treatment requires more than just delivering magnetic pulses — it demands a deep understanding of each patient's unique neurological profile, psychiatric history, and personal treatment goals. This philosophy drives a highly individualized approach to care, where every treatment plan is carefully calibrated to maximize therapeutic outcomes. Jessica's clinical focus at Augusta Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in Chronic Pain, Bipolar, Tinnitus. TMS for chronic pain conditions targets the motor cortex and pain-processing regions of the brain. By modulating these neural pathways, TMS can reduce the perceived intensity of chronic pain and break the pain-depression cycle that often compounds suffering. Research has shown particular promise for fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraine prevention. Managing the depressive phase of bipolar disorder with TMS requires careful clinical expertise. Unlike antidepressants, which carry a risk of triggering manic episodes, TMS provides targeted mood improvement without systemic pharmacological effects. This makes it particularly valuable for bipolar patients who need relief from depression but cannot tolerate traditional antidepressant medications. At Augusta Mental Health & TMS, Jessica works with Nexstim, CloudTMS — giving patients access to multiple FDA-cleared TMS platforms. This multi-device capability allows for protocol selection tailored to each patient's specific diagnosis and treatment targets. Jessica stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Augusta Mental Health & TMS describe Jessica as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Jessica takes time to understand not just the clinical diagnosis, but the personal impact of the condition on daily life. This patient-centered approach continues throughout the full course of TMS treatment, with regular check-ins to monitor progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed. To schedule a consultation with Dr. Jessica Jackson, MD at Augusta Mental Health & TMS, contact the clinic directly.

By combining thorough diagnostic assessment with careful protocol selection, patients receive targeted treatment designed for their specific condition and neuroanatomy. Ashley's clinical focus at Augusta Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in Depression, Tinnitus, Bipolar. In treating depression with TMS, the focus is on stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region consistently found to be underactive in patients with major depressive disorder. By restoring normal activity in this region, TMS helps re-engage the neural circuits responsible for mood regulation, motivation, and cognitive function. Clinical trials demonstrate remission rates of 50-60% in treatment-resistant cases. Managing the depressive phase of bipolar disorder with TMS requires careful clinical expertise.
