Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Support†
When thinking and focus feel different after a head injury, we help your brain re-engage.
After a head injury, you might notice your thinking is slower, you have brain fog, headaches, and sensitivity to light or noise. It's hard to concentrate or stay on task, even long after the injury happened. EXOMIND uses a personalized brain map to deliver gentle, medication-free stimulation to areas of your brain responsible for attention, memory, and focus. The goal is to help you think more clearly, remember things better, stay focused on tasks, and reduce that mental exhaustion that builds up so quickly.
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 concussion/TBI
- Difficulty concentrating, planning, or switching between tasks
- Mental fatigue that builds quickly with cognitive effort
- You want help 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, headaches
- ✓Share anything you’ve already tried (therapy, meds, vestibular/vision rehab, lifestyle 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 traumatic brain injury (TBI), 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.
