Ashley's journey in psychiatry began at Harvard Medical School, 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 Ashley approaches TMS treatment today. Over a career spanning more than 27 years, Dr. Ashley Lee, MD has developed deep expertise in the nuances of neuromodulation therapy. At Billings TMS 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. 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 Billings TMS Center includes specialized expertise in OCD, Bipolar, Tinnitus. 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 Billings TMS Center, Ashley works with CloudTMS, BrainsWay, 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. Ashley stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Ashley is known among patients at Billings TMS 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. If you're considering TMS therapy in Billings, Montana, Dr. Ashley Lee, MD and the team at Billings TMS Center offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you.

Elizabeth's clinical focus at Billings TMS Center includes specialized expertise in PTSD, Chronic Pain, Tinnitus. 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 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.
