A WARM WELCOME
TO HEALING MINDS
If you are experiencing problems with your mental health, everyday can feel like a struggle, relating to the outside world can be an overwhelming challenge, and treatment can seem never-ending. If you believe your day-to-day functioning has been compromised by your mental or behavioural health and you're feeling stuck, we are here to help.
Healing Minds is a private mental health clinic. Our focus is to help and support those who are suffering from depression, mood disorders, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, or coping with life stressors. If you choose to take this step with us, we envision your road to recovery to be achieved by providing the most effective treatment for you with the longest lasting effects, be that medication, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), or psychotherapy (talk therapy).
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the safest and best possible treatment option for those who do not respond to medications, cannot tolerate their side-effects, or simply prefer an alternative to medication. We are the TMS pioneers in New Zealand.

THE FIRST TO BRING YOU Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation THERAPY IN NZ
TMS is a non-invasive technique for modulating the brain, helping it going back to function in a healthy way. It is used to improve symptoms of depression and other psychiatric and neurological problems, by stimulating healthy communication between the nerve cells. This treatment should be especially considered if you have not responded to antidepressant medication, cannot tolerate their side-effects, or simply prefer a drug free treatment.
