Dr. Maria Wilson, MD - TMS psychiatrist in Burlington
Verified #1 in Burlington

Dr. Maria Wilson, MD

Board-Certified Psychiatrist

Stanford Medicine 33+ years 4.9 (50 reviews)

Dr. Maria Wilson, MD is a Board-Certified Psychiatrist at Burlington Depression Treatment Center in Burlington, Vermont, specializing in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy for Bipolar, Chronic Pain, PTSD. Maria is dedicated to providing patients in the Chittenden County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. Maria 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 33 years of dedicated practice in psychiatry and neuromodulation, Dr. Maria Wilson, MD has treated hundreds of patients using TMS therapy at Burlington Depression Treatment 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. For Maria, the practice of interventional psychiatry is fundamentally about restoring hope. Many patients arrive at Burlington Depression Treatment Center after years of unsuccessful medication trials, and Maria is committed to offering them a scientifically validated path forward through personalized TMS protocols grounded in the latest clinical evidence. Maria's clinical focus at Burlington Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in Bipolar, Chronic Pain, PTSD. 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 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 Burlington Depression Treatment Center, Maria works with CloudTMS, Magstim, 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. Maria stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. Patients at Burlington Depression Treatment Center describe Maria as thorough, compassionate, and genuinely invested in their recovery. The treatment experience begins with a comprehensive initial evaluation, during which Maria 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. If you're considering TMS therapy in Burlington, Vermont, Dr. Maria Wilson, MD and the team at Burlington Depression Treatment Center offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward a medication-free path to recovery.

Jessica is dedicated to providing patients in the Chittenden 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 UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine, Jessica 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. Jessica Brown, MD brings 17+ years of psychiatric practice to Burlington 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. Jessica 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. Jessica's clinical focus at Burlington Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in Chronic Pain, Depression, Anxiety. 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. 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 Burlington Depression Treatment Center, Jessica works with CloudTMS, Magstim, 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. Jessica stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Jessica is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention. From the initial consultation through the final maintenance session, Jessica ensures each patient understands their treatment plan, knows what to expect, and feels supported throughout their recovery journey at Burlington Depression Treatment Center. If you're considering TMS therapy in Burlington, Vermont, Dr. Jessica Brown, MD and the team at Burlington Depression Treatment Center offer comprehensive evaluations to determine whether this treatment approach is right for you. Reach out to schedule an initial consultation and take the first step toward a medication-free path to recovery.

Alan's clinical focus at Burlington Depression Treatment Center includes specialized expertise in Depression, OCD, PTSD. 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.

Clinical trials demonstrate remission rates of 50-60% in treatment-resistant cases. 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. At Burlington Depression Treatment Center, Alan works with CloudTMS, Magstim, MagVenture — giving patients access to multiple FDA-cleared TMS platforms.
