Dr. Ashley Moore, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS in Gulfport, Mississippi, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for OCD, Anxiety, Bipolar. Ashley is dedicated to providing patients in the Harrison County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Ashley completed medical training at Baylor College of Medicine, 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 34 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Ashley Moore, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Gulfport 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. Ashley 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. Ashley's clinical focus at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in OCD, Anxiety, Bipolar. 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. 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. At Gulfport Mental Health & TMS, Ashley works with CloudTMS, 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. Ashley stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS describe Ashley as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Ashley 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. Ashley Moore, MD at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS, contact the clinic directly. Ashley welcomes patients from throughout Gulfport, Mississippi, and the surrounding communities who are ready to explore whether TMS therapy may be the right next step in their mental health treatment journey.

Robert is dedicated to providing patients in the Harrison County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. After earning a medical degree from Johns Hopkins, Robert pursued specialized training in psychiatry with a focus on interventional and neuromodulation techniques. This academic background, combined with extensive clinical rotations in treatment-resistant cases, built the foundation for a career dedicated to advancing brain stimulation therapy. Dr. Robert Wong, MD brings 33+ years of psychiatric practice to Gulfport Mental Health & TMS, with a significant portion of that career focused specifically on brain stimulation therapies. This depth of experience means patients benefit from a clinician who has navigated every common scenario in TMS treatment — from optimizing coil placement to managing treatment-resistant cases that require creative protocol adjustments. Robert 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. Robert's clinical focus at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in Tinnitus, Bipolar, Depression. 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. 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 Gulfport Mental Health & TMS, Robert works with CloudTMS, 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. Robert stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Robert is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention. From the initial consultation through the final maintenance session, Robert ensures each patient understands their treatment plan, knows what to expect, and feels supported throughout their recovery journey at Gulfport Mental Health & TMS.
