When your head feels tight and days blur, we help your brain ease the squeeze.†
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.
Tension-type headaches often feel like a steady, band-like pressure across the forehead or the back of the head and neck. Stress, screens, poor posture, and short or disrupted sleep can tighten everything further — leaving you foggy, irritable, and behind before the day begins. EXOMIND targets networks involved in sleep-wake regulation, attention, and top-down pain modulation. Using your individual brain map, it delivers gentle, drug-free stimulation designed to quiet hyperactive pain processing, deepen rest, and support clearer, more comfortable days.
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
- Frequent or chronic tension-type headaches (band-like pressure, tightness)
- Headaches that worsen with stress, screen time, or poor sleep
- Neck/shoulder tension, scalp tenderness, and midday brain fog
- 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, regulation of arousal, and top-down pain modulation. When the session ends, you simply continue onwards with your day. Early changes are often subtle but meaningful: fewer headache days, less background pressure, more restorative nights, and steadier daytime energy. Across the series, those quiet shifts tend to accumulate — restoring clarity, momentum, and comfort 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 headache pattern — timing, triggers, duration, and severity
- ✓Share anything you’ve tried (sleep changes, posture/ergonomics, PT, meds/supplements)
- ✓Name 1–2 real goals, like “Cut weekly headache days in half” or “Reduce midday pressure”
- ✓Bring questions — comfort, pace, cost, anything

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 tension-type headaches, 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: slightly deeper sleep, steadier daytime energy, fewer or less intense headaches. 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.
