Dr. Sarah Taylor, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Kearney TMS Center in Kearney, Nebraska, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for Bipolar, Anxiety, Tinnitus. Sarah is dedicated to providing patients in the Buffalo County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Sarah completed medical training at Mayo Clinic Alix School 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 26 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Sarah Taylor, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Kearney 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. Sarah 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. Sarah's clinical focus at Kearney TMS Center includes specialized expertise in Bipolar, Anxiety, Tinnitus. 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. 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 Kearney TMS Center, 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. Patients at Kearney TMS Center describe Sarah as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Sarah 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. Sarah Taylor, MD at Kearney TMS Center, contact the clinic directly. Sarah welcomes patients from throughout Kearney, Nebraska, and the surrounding communities who are ready to explore whether TMS therapy may be the right next step in their mental health treatment journey.

Daniel is dedicated to providing patients in the Buffalo 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 Columbia University, Daniel 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. Daniel Garcia, MD brings 18+ years of psychiatric practice to Kearney 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. Daniel 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. Daniel's clinical focus at Kearney Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in OCD, Depression, Chronic Pain. 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. 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 Kearney Mental Health & TMS, Daniel works with MagVenture, BrainsWay — 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. Daniel stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Daniel is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention. From the initial consultation through the final maintenance session, Daniel ensures each patient understands their treatment plan, knows what to expect, and feels supported throughout their recovery journey at Kearney Mental Health & TMS.
