“Chemo Brain” (Cancer-Related Cognitive Impairment) Support†
When thinking feels slower after treatment, we help your brain re-sync.
After chemotherapy or cancer treatment, a lot of people notice they're not as sharp as they used to be. You might have trouble remembering things, finding the right words, or concentrating on tasks—even though your scans are clear. EXOMIND uses a personalized brain map to deliver gentle, medication-free stimulation to the areas of your brain responsible for memory, attention, and focus, helping you think more clearly and feel more like yourself again.
Why People Choose EXOMIND
Noninvasive and medication-free — fully awake, no anesthesia, and generally well-tolerated.
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
- Persistent brain fog or slowed processing after chemotherapy
- Short-term memory slips and word-finding pauses
- Difficulty concentrating, planning, or switching between tasks
- You want help with augmenting or weaning off medications as appropriate.
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 attention, working memory, and executive function. When the session ends, you simply continue onwards with your day. Early changes are often subtle but meaningful: steadier focus for everyday tasks, smoother word-finding, and less cognitive fatigue. Across the series, those quiet shifts tend to accumulate — restoring clarity and 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.
Before Your First Visit
- ✓Tell us what your days actually feel like — memory, attention, energy, word-finding
- ✓Share anything you’ve already tried (therapy, meds, sleep, exercise, nutrition changes)
- ✓Name 1–2 real goals, like “I want to get through work blocks without crashing” or “I want fewer word-finding pauses”
- ✓Bring questions — comfort, pace, cost, anything
Important
Every brain responds differently — some see meaningful change, some gradual improvement, and for others it may not be the right fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions do people usually get?
For cancer-related cognitive impairment (“chemo brain”), 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 bit less cognitive fatigue, steadier attention, or smoother word-finding. Gains 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.
You’re not broken. Your brain is tired.
