Dr. Elizabeth Wong, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Dr. Elizabeth Wong, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Newark Mental Health & TMS in Newark, New Jersey, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain. Elizabeth is dedicated to providing patients in the Essex County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Elizabeth completed medical training at Stanford 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 13 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Elizabeth Wong, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Newark 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. Elizabeth 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. Elizabeth's clinical focus at Newark Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain. 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. 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 Newark Mental Health & TMS, Elizabeth works with Nexstim, MagVenture, 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. Elizabeth stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Newark Mental Health & TMS describe Elizabeth as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Elizabeth 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. Elizabeth Wong, MD at Newark Mental Health & TMS, contact the clinic directly. Elizabeth welcomes patients from throughout Newark, New Jersey, and the surrounding communities who are ready to explore whether TMS therapy may be the right next step in their mental health treatment journey.
