When your system stays on high alert, we help it settle.†
A gentle, noninvasive TMS treatment tailored to you — crafted to quiet threat reactivity, ease intrusive stress responses, and support restorative sleep, all without sedation or downtime.
After trauma, the brain can stay locked in protection mode — jumpy startle, racing thoughts, vivid nightmares, and days that feel tense even when nothing is wrong. It’s exhausting, and it can crowd out the parts of life you care about most. EXOMIND targets networks involved in attention, top-down regulation, and autonomic balance. Using your individual brain map, it delivers gentle, drug-free stimulation designed to quiet threat signaling, support executive control, and help your nervous system shift from constant vigilance toward steadier, more flexible functioning.
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
- Hypervigilance, easy startle, or feeling constantly “on edge”
- Intrusive memories, nightmares, or stress spikes
- Sleep disruption and morning exhaustion
- Irritability, emotional numbing, or difficulty concentrating
- You want treatment that may complement, not replace, your current routine.
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, emotion regulation, and top-down modulation of threat responses. When the session ends, you simply continue onwards with your day. Early changes are often subtle but meaningful: fewer sudden surges, easier sleep, and a calmer baseline. Across the series, those quiet shifts tend to accumulate — restoring clarity, momentum, and confidence 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
- ✓Describe your triggers, sleep, focus, and energy — what days actually feel like
- ✓Share anything you’ve already tried (therapy, meds, coping tools, routines)
- ✓Name 1–2 real goals, like “Fewer nightmares” or “Calmer baseline at work”
- ✓Bring questions — comfort, pace, cost, anything

Frequently Asked Questions
1How many sessions do people usually get?
For PTSD, 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: fewer sudden surges, a touch more focus, or sleep that feels slightly easier. Improvements 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.
