Michael is dedicated to providing patients in the Jackson County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Michael's journey in psychiatry began at Mayo Clinic Alix 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 Michael approaches TMS treatment today. Over a career spanning more than 18 years, Dr. Michael Smith, MD has developed deep expertise in the nuances of neuromodulation therapy. At Kansas City Depression Treatment Center, 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. Michael 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. Michael's clinical focus at Kansas City Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in OCD, Chronic Pain, PTSD. 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 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. At Kansas City Depression Treatment Center, Michael works with Magstim, CloudTMS, NeuroStar — 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. Michael stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Michael is known among patients at Kansas City Depression Treatment Center 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.

Dr. Lisa Jackson, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Kansas City Depression Treatment Center in Kansas City, Missouri, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar. Lisa is dedicated to providing patients in the Jackson 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 Harvard Medical School, Lisa 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. Lisa Jackson, MD brings 32+ years of psychiatric practice to Kansas City Depression Treatment Center, 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. Lisa 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. Lisa's clinical focus at Kansas City Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in PTSD, Anxiety, Bipolar. TMS for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder works by rebalancing the hyperactive threat-detection circuits in the brain. Stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown promise in reducing intrusive memories, emotional numbness, and hyperarousal symptoms. For patients whose trauma symptoms have not responded to therapy or medication alone, TMS offers a targeted neurobiological intervention. 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 Kansas City Depression Treatment Center, Lisa works with Magstim, CloudTMS, NeuroStar — 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. Lisa stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Lisa is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention. From the initial consultation through the final maintenance session, Lisa ensures each patient understands their treatment plan, knows what to expect, and feels supported throughout their recovery journey at Kansas City Depression Treatment Center.

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.

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. 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.
