When food feels stressful, we help your nervous system steady.†
A gentle, noninvasive TMS treatment tailored to you — crafted to steady mood, lift energy, and bring you back to yourself, all without sedation or downtime.
Restrictive eating can feel like life on high alert — pre-meal anxiety, rules that keep tightening, body-focused thoughts that crowd out everything else, and exhaustion from trying to keep control. Sleep, focus, and daily rhythms often suffer. EXOMIND targets the brain networks that help regulate anxiety, cognitive control, and stress responses. Using your individual brain map, it delivers gentle, drug-free stimulation designed to shift the system out of overdrive and back toward balance, flexibility, and steadier day-to-day functioning.
Why People Choose EXOMIND

Care is tailored to your mood, energy, sleep, and daily goals
Brief daytime sessions, typically over a few weeks
Designed to work alongside your existing care, not replace it
Who It May Help
- Intrusive body-focused thoughts and pre-meal anxiety that make eating feel stressful or difficult
- Rigid rules around food or movement; compulsive checking or excessive exercise patterns
- Sleep, focus, or energy disrupted by ongoing restriction and worry
- You want support with augmenting or weaning off medications.
What Sessions Feel Like
You recline comfortably, fully awake and at ease — no anesthesia, no recovery time. A refined tapping is delivered over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region involved in cognitive control, anxiety regulation, and decision-making. When the session ends, you simply continue onwards with your day. Early changes are often subtle but meaningful: less pre-meal spike, fewer repetitive checks, and a bit more room between urge and action. Across the series, those quiet shifts tend to accumulate — restoring steadiness, clarity, and forward momentum in a way that feels natural rather than forced.
Safety & Candidacy
Before treatment begins, your health history is carefully reviewed to ensure this approach is appropriate for you. Some people notice mild scalp tenderness or a brief headache at first — typically short-lived and self-resolving. If you are already in therapy, on medication, or under the care of another specialist, you may continue those supports unless there is a specific safety reason to modify them.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions do people usually get?
For anorexia, we typically begin with a 6-session package and then individualize the plan based on your goals and response. Some people choose occasional boosters over time if symptoms begin to creep back.
2How fast will I feel anything?
For some, the first changes are small: a little less pre-meal anxiety, fewer repetitive checks, or a bit more ease sticking with a nourishment plan. Calm and clarity often build more steadily over time.
3Do I have to change my medications or stop therapy?
No. EXOMIND is designed to complement existing care, not replace it. Whether it eventually augments or allows adjustment of other therapies is determined individually. Changes are only made when medically appropriate and discussed with you in advance.
4Will I be okay to drive or work after a session?
Most people go right back to normal life. If you feel briefly tired or headachy, resting for a short period is usually enough.
5How do you know where to target?
EXOMIND maps the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) within minutes — painless and individualized to your anatomy. From that map, treatment is delivered using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation with precise, targeted therapeutics tailored to your brain.
6How do payments work?
EXOMIND Santa Monica operates as a direct-pay practice. Fees and options are reviewed with you in advance, so every decision is transparent and nothing is unexpected.
