Targeted OCD Deep TMS™ (H7-Coil) in Atlanta & Decatur
When high-dose SSRIs and Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP) therapy leave intrusive thoughts or compulsions unresolved, BrainsWay Deep TMS™ with the patented H7-Coil is the first non-invasive medical device FDA-cleared to directly stimulate the deep anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC).
✓ 57.9% Full Clinical Response
Real-world multicenter studies show 57.9% of OCD patients achieve full Y-BOCS clinical response and over 70% reach first milestone improvement after 29 sessions.
✓ Direct ACC & mPFC Targeting
Unlike shallow depression coils, the cushioned BrainsWay H7-Coil reaches ~3 cm deep into the midline cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) loop that drives OCD.
✓ Seamless ERP Therapist Alliance
We coordinate directly with your OCD/ERP psychologist or therapist across Atlanta and Decatur—enhancing neuroplasticity so ERP exercises stick.
How the BrainsWay H7-Coil Calms Hyperactive OCD Loops
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is driven by hyper-connectivity in deep midline brain structures—specifically the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)—which standard figure-8 TMS coils cannot effectively reach.
Comprehensive Diagnostic & Y-BOCS Assessment
Board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Gideon Matzkin, MD, ABPN conducts a thorough diagnostic evaluation, reviews your medication and ERP history, and maps your individualized cortical motor threshold and symptom profile.
Targeted Circuit Engagement
Just before each 18-minute H7-Coil session, our clinical team guides a brief, gentle, individualized 3-to-5-minute activation of your specific OCD circuit so the magnetic pulses modulate the exact neural pathway while it is active.
20 Hz Deep Midline Neuromodulation
You relax in our sunlit Decatur suite for an 18-minute non-invasive treatment session. There is zero sedation, zero weight gain, and zero systemic medication side effects—you drive yourself immediately back to work or home.

OCD Deep TMS™ Frequently Asked Questions
Unlike standard figure-8 TMS coils made for depression (which stimulate only the shallow dorsolateral prefrontal cortex), the patented BrainsWay H7-Coil is specifically engineered and FDA-cleared to reach deeper midline structures—the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC)—where obsessive-compulsive loops originate.
Yes. Deep TMS enhances neuroplasticity in the cortico-striato-thalamo-cortical (CSTC) circuitry, making Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy significantly easier to engage in. We collaborate directly with your existing OCD/ERP therapist throughout your treatment course.
Many major insurers—including Aetna, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield (BCBS), Cigna/Evernorth, Optum/UnitedHealthcare, TRICARE East, and Medicare—cover BrainsWay Deep TMS when medical necessity criteria are met. Our Decatur prior authorization team verifies your exact OCD and comorbid depression benefits before you start.
