Find Relief with TMS Therapy

Struggling with depression, OCD, anxiety, or other mental health challenges despite medication
or therapy?

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that uses
gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain involved in mood regulation and mental
wellness.

✔ No medication required
✔ No anesthesia or sedation
✔ Minimal side effects
✔ Covered by most insurance plans
✔ Outpatient treatment with no downtime

TMS has helped many individuals find relief when traditional treatments haven’t provided the
results they need.

Take the next step toward wellness, we’ll walk with you every step of the way.

Our Testimonials

A.K
Best office I’ve been to, receptionists are kind and the doctors are receptive and helpful. I got the perfect medication combination going here and feel better than I ever have.
P.S
Dr. Malik was Thoughtful and Thorough! She did not rush me and spent quite a bit of time discussing my personal circumstances and possible solutions. She will be interacting with my therapist, which I think is just outstanding highly recommend.
D.K
I enjoyed my TMS treatments. They were very relaxing and I found myself wishing they lasted longer! The results, for me, were not immediate. I started noticing that I wasn't upset or crying over things, I wasn't dwelling on things that bothered me, and I wasn't getting that anxious feeling when I went to bed that kept me up at night. I am still passionate about things but no longer overwhelmed especially about things I cannot change. I highly recommend these treatments, Dr Maliks staff are professional and helpful. In fact, I highly recommend Dr. Malik for any mental health situation.
J.B
I recommend Advanced Psychiatry. Doctor Malik helped me so much and she really would listen to everything that I said. I also recommend Shelby Bieneman, she’s a wonderful therapist and helped me so much to get me out of an emotional depression. Isha helped me with my medication, she really listened to what I was saying and adjusted my meds where I feel much better to this day. People at the front desk are so kind and compassionate and also other staff members that helped me with procedures I went through.

I'm really happy going to Advanced Psychiatry. I've been going there for years. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted by sincere smiles, it's just that kind of a place. You are *welcome* there! It's a judgement free zone. Also - if you have an 'off' day and don't remember how the zoom works, they're happy to help walk you through it! And the doctors there are SO good! If you're taking meds, they check in with you to make sure your meds are working for you. You are a person there first, and a patient after that. They're great! So if you need some help with your mental health: 1.Good for you, cuz it's not always easy to come to that conclusion. 2. Try going to Advanced Psychiatry of Elgin. I'm sure you'll be glad you did.
C.A
Ok where to start? I’ve been Dr Malik’s patient for almost a year. During that time I have been super supported by each member of her team. I have had the proper help to heal my brain from extreme trauma. This office is very professional, the team is cohesive and very caring. From another point of view, my friends and family have noticed a huge difference in my demeanor and calm presence. I’m grateful that I am getting the best healthcare from Dr Malik and her staff.
