Kind One-Day TMS: Accelerated Depression Relief in San Ramon and Encinitas

Bringing the Kind One-Day TMS Protocol to Northern California

The revolutionary Kind One-Day TMS protocol was previously available exclusively in Southern California. Recognizing the urgent need for fast-acting California mental health solutions in the Bay Area, Kind Minds has partnered with BrandeisMD. This partnership marks a historic expansion, bringing elite neuromodulation to San Ramon, California, and providing a second local site for patients in Northern California who previously had to travel to Encinitas for this level of care.

A World-First Revolutionary Treatment

Kind One-Day TMS is the first protocol of its kind worldwide to safely deliver a full course of transcranial magnetic stimulation in a single day. This revolutionary treatment has fundamentally changed the landscape of mental health care by condensing what was once an eight-week commitment into one focused day of healing. Originally founded in Encinitas (Site 1), this breakthrough medical achievement is now accessible through our second location in San Ramon (Site 2).

Clinical Study & Research Findings

Our protocols are grounded in rigorous scientific evidence. You can review the peer-reviewed clinical research supporting the effectiveness of this treatment below:

What is Kind One-Day TMS?

Kind One-Day TMS is a non-invasive, fast-acting treatment for depression that condenses weeks of traditional therapy into a single day. While traditional Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) requires daily sessions over six weeks, our accelerated protocol delivers the same therapeutic dose in a concentrated 9.5-hour window.

The Science of Accelerated TMS: Recalibrating Neural Pathways

The Kind protocol utilizes Intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS), a sophisticated form of TMS that mimics the brain’s natural electrical rhythms. By targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex—the area of the brain responsible for mood regulation—iTBS fosters neuroplasticity and strengthens neural connections.

• Intensive Reset: Delivering 20 sessions in one day provides a powerful stimulus to the brain’s circuitry.
• Precision Spacing: Sessions are spaced to allow the brain to integrate the magnetic pulses effectively.
• Brain Plasticity Augmentation: A targeted medical protocol is used alongside the treatment to prime the brain for maximum healing.

Clinical Efficacy: Rapid Results and Remission

Accelerated TMS is designed for patients with treatment-resistant depression who have not found relief through traditional medications. Retrospective studies on the Kind One-Day TMS protocol have shown extraordinary success:

• 90.3% Response Rate: Measured at the six-week follow-up.
• 74.2% Remission Rate: The majority of patients saw a total resolution of significant depressive symptoms within weeks of their single-day treatment.
• Durable Benefits: High remission rates were maintained through 26-week assessments, proving that the intensive “reset” has long-lasting effects.

Visionary Leadership: Dr. Georgine Nanos, MD, MPH

At the heart of the Advanced TMS Kind Protocol is the visionary work of Dr. Georgine Nanos. A distinguished board-certified family physician with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Nanos has been recognized as a “Top Doctor of Encinitas” for more than a decade. Her background in epidemiology from Boston University and her clinical degree from George Washington University School of Medicine have fueled her passion for integrating mental health into holistic primary care.

California Access: Site 1 Encinitas & Site 2 San Ramon

We are dedicated to making rapid recovery accessible to all Californians. Whether you are in the Bay Area or the South Coast, our clinical sites are equipped to provide the full one-day protocol.

• Site 1 (Encinitas): The flagship location where the world-first Kind protocol was perfected.
• Site 2 (San Ramon): The new Northern California site at BrandeisMD, serving the East Bay, San Francisco, and the greater Bay Area.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is the Kind One-Day TMS protocol safe?

Yes. Accelerated iTBS is a non-invasive, non-drug treatment that does not require anesthesia. It is exceptionally well-tolerated, with no serious adverse events reported in clinical assessments.

How can six weeks of therapy be condensed into one day?

This is achieved through the use of intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation (iTBS). Each session takes only 14 minutes, but delivers a high therapeutic benefit, allowing for 20 sessions to be completed in one intensive clinical day.

Do I need a referral to start treatment in San Ramon or Encinitas?

You do not need a physician’s referral. We perform a full clinical evaluation at either Site 1 or Site 2 to determine if you are a candidate.

How long do the results last?

Clinical data shows that remission remains stable for the majority of responders through the three-month mark. Some patients choose periodic “maintenance” sessions, but for many, the intensive one-day reset provides a long-term recalibration of their mood centers.

Will I be able to drive home after the session?

Yes. Because there is no sedation or anesthesia involved, you are fully alert and functional immediately after your one-day treatment is complete.
