Dr. Sarah Jackson, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Sarah Jackson, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Dr. Jackson Private Practice in Columbus, Georgia, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for OCD, Bipolar, Depression. Sarah is dedicated to providing patients in the Muscogee County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Sarah's journey in psychiatry began at UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, where training in both the science and art of mental health care shaped a distinctive clinical perspective. The program's emphasis on translational neuroscience — bridging laboratory research with bedside care — continues to influence how Sarah approaches TMS treatment today. Over a career spanning more than 19 years, Dr. Sarah Jackson, MD has developed deep expertise in the nuances of neuromodulation therapy. At Dr. Jackson Private Practice, this experience manifests in meticulous attention to treatment parameters, an ability to set realistic expectations with patients, and the clinical skill to achieve consistently strong outcomes even in complex, treatment-resistant presentations. Sarah takes a precision-medicine approach to TMS therapy, recognizing that the brain's response to magnetic stimulation varies significantly from person to person. By combining thorough diagnostic assessment with careful protocol selection, patients receive targeted treatment designed for their specific condition and neuroanatomy. Sarah's clinical focus at Dr. Jackson Private Practice includes specialized expertise in OCD, Bipolar, Depression. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder requires a specialized Deep TMS approach, targeting the anterior cingulate cortex and medial prefrontal cortex — brain structures implicated in the repetitive thought-action cycles that define OCD. The FDA-cleared protocol uses BrainsWay's H7 coil to reach these deeper brain regions, offering significant symptom reduction for patients who have not responded adequately to SSRIs or cognitive-behavioral therapy. 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 Dr. Jackson Private Practice, Sarah works with NeuroStar, MagVenture — 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. Sarah stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Sarah is known among patients at Dr. Jackson Private Practice for taking the time to thoroughly explain the TMS process, set realistic expectations, and create an environment where patients feel comfortable and informed. This approach to patient communication contributes to higher treatment completion rates and better clinical outcomes. If you're considering TMS therapy in Columbus, Georgia, Dr. Sarah Jackson, MD and the team at Dr. Jackson Private Practice offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward a medication-free path to recovery.

Dr. Emily Wong, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Emily Wong, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Columbus TMS Center in Columbus, Georgia, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for Anxiety, Depression, Tinnitus. Emily is dedicated to providing patients in the Muscogee County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Emily 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 21 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Emily Wong, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Columbus TMS Center 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. Emily 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. Emily's clinical focus at Columbus TMS Center includes specialized expertise in Anxiety, Depression, Tinnitus. TMS therapy for anxiety targets specific prefrontal cortex regions involved in emotional regulation and threat processing. By modulating activity in these circuits, TMS can help reduce excessive worry, physical tension, and the hypervigilance that characterizes anxiety disorders. Emerging research supports both standard and accelerated TMS protocols for generalized anxiety, with many patients experiencing relief that complements or replaces medication-based approaches. 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. At Columbus TMS Center, Emily works with MagVenture, Nexstim — 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. Emily stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate.
