Rebalance Mood Circuits with EXOMIND†
Individual brain mapping and adaptive stimulation aimed at lifting motivation and day-to-day functioning.
Major depressive disorder can present with persistent low mood, loss of interest, slowed thinking, sleep changes, and reduced energy. EXOMIND uses individualized mapping and precise, noninvasive stimulation with the goal of nudging mood-regulating networks toward a more stable, energized baseline.
EXOMIND at a Glance
Personalized targeting informed by your symptoms, history, sleep, and physiologic profile
Awake, noninvasive, drug-free sessions; no anesthesia or recovery downtime
Typical course: a series of brief weekday sessions over several weeks with adaptive tuning
We may track outcomes such as mood/interest ratings, sleep efficiency, energy, and cognitive speed
Who It May Help
- Persistent low mood and anhedonia
- Low energy, slowed thinking, and reduced motivation
- Sleep changes (early awakening, insomnia, or hypersomnia)
- Partial or waning response to prior treatments or preference to avoid medication
How EXOMIND Works
Following a focused intake and mapping session, EXOMIND delivers patterned magnetic pulses to cortical hubs involved in mood regulation and cognitive control. Parameters are adjusted across visits to encourage healthier network connectivity and a more resilient day-to-day baseline.
What to Expect
You remain awake and seated during each visit. A tapping sensation on the scalp is common; mild, brief sensitivity or headache can occur and typically resolves quickly. Early changes may include steadier sleep and small lifts in energy and engagement as sessions progress.
Candidacy & Safety
We screen for standard neuromodulation considerations (e.g., certain metal implants, seizure history). EXOMIND is generally well tolerated. If you use medications or psychotherapy, we can coordinate care; changes are not required to begin unless advised for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions are typical for MDD?
Courses commonly involve brief weekday sessions over several weeks. The exact number and schedule are personalized after your mapping and consultation, and may include optional booster sessions if benefits wane.
2When might I notice change?
Some people first notice steadier sleep and small increases in energy or engagement within the first few weeks. Mood improvements often build across the series and may consolidate in the weeks that follow.
3Can EXOMIND be combined with my current treatment?
Yes. EXOMIND is non-pharmacologic and can be coordinated with existing medications and psychotherapy. Changes to medication are not required to begin unless advised for safety.
4What side effects are most common?
Mild scalp discomfort or headache can occur and typically resolves on its own or with simple measures. We review safety and comfort strategies during consent.
5How do you select brain targets?
We use an intake and mapping process that considers your symptoms, sleep/circadian patterns, and physiologic markers. Targets and parameters are then adjusted session-by-session.
6What if I don’t feel progress?
We reassess targets and parameters, review sleep and daily structure, and adjust pacing. If a plateau persists, we’ll discuss next steps, including pauses, alternative strategies, or referrals.
7Can I work or drive after sessions?
Most people resume normal activities immediately. If you experience a headache or unusual fatigue, brief rest is recommended before driving.
8How are payments handled?
EXOMIND Santa Monica is a direct-pay practice. We can provide itemized receipts for potential out-of-network reimbursement. We review costs and options before you begin.
