Depression, PTSD, anxiety, and other mental health conditions don't always respond to medication. In fact, research shows that the first antidepressant prescribed works only about 30% of the time, and the likelihood of success drops with each subsequent attempt. For the millions of people who have tried medication after medication without lasting relief, that cycle of trial and error can feel like the end of the road.
For patients in North Central San Antonio and across greater Bexar County, Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health offers two non-invasive brain therapies – TMS and Brain Frequency™ – both designed specifically for people whose symptoms have not responded to conventional treatment.
TMS at Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health is FDA-cleared and clinically studied for a range of conditions – and Brain Frequency™ is supported by Windmill's retrospective clinical outcomes data for a range of conditions that most commonly disrupt daily life, relationships, and long-term stability. Both therapies work by targeting the neurological patterns underlying these conditions, not just managing symptoms but addressing their root causes.
Unlike most outpatient clinics, Windmill offers both standard TMS and Brain Frequency™ under one roof, so the right level of precision is always available, regardless of where a patient starts. Additionally, traditional therapies and treatment methods, including medication management, are available at the Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health Clinic.
Conditions treated include:
Depression
PTSD & Trauma
Anxiety
Bipolar Depression
If a condition isn't listed here, that doesn't mean TMS or Brain Frequency™ can't help. The best first step is a consultation. Windmill's clinical team will be honest about whether either therapy is the right fit.
Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health offers two distinct treatment options – Standard TMS and Brain Frequency™. Both are non-invasive, require no sedation, and can be completed in a series of outpatient sessions with no downtime.
While they share the same foundation, they differ significantly in how they're delivered, what they target, and who they're best suited for.
| Standard TMS | Brain Frequency™ | |
|---|---|---|
| Insurance | Covered by most major carriers | Private pay – not covered by insurance |
| FDA Status | FDA-cleared | Patented proprietary protocol |
| Brain Targets | One region, fixed frequency | Up to five zones, personalized frequency |
| Starting Point | Clinical assessment | 19-channel EEG brain map |
| Progress Tracking | Regular clinical check-ins | New EEG every 10 sessions |
| Session Length | 20 to 40 minutes | 20 to 40 minutes |
| Course Length | 30 to 36 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks | 30 to 36 sessions over 4 to 6 weeks |
| Sedation | None | None |
| Downtime | None | None |
| Best for | Patients who want an FDA-cleared, insurance-covered option with a well-established track record | Patients who want treatment personalized to their brain's actual data, or who haven't responded to standard TMS |
Data shown reflect retrospective observational outcomes from 2,596 Windmill patients who received comprehensive inpatient treatment, including Brain Frequency, between 2019 and 2025. Because patients received multiple services as part of treatment, outcomes cannot be attributed solely to Brain Frequency. Outcomes vary by patient and clinical presentation. Individual results are not guaranteed.***
The clinical team at Windmill will review each patient's history, symptoms, and goals, and make an honest recommendation about which path is most likely to produce meaningful, lasting results. And every recommendation is backed by a multidisciplinary team that reviews progress together – not a single provider working in isolation.
Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health is one of the only outpatient providers in the region offering TMS, Brain Frequency™, therapy, and medication management together. All coordinated by the same clinical team, working from the same data.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, or TMS, is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate brain regions that mental health conditions have dysregulated. Unlike medication, which alters your brain chemistry, TMS targets the specific neural circuits that have become over-or- underactive, directly stimulating them back toward healthy function. A 2024 meta-analysis published in BMC Psychiatry found TMS significantly reduces depression symptoms, with results that hold up long after treatment ends.
At Windmill, TMS is never delivered in a silo – it is coordinated alongside therapy and psychiatric care as part of a single, unified treatment plan.
TMS delivers targeted magnetic pulses to the areas of the brain that mental health conditions have dysregulated – stimulating underactive circuits and calming overactive ones.
Here is what treatment looks like:
TMS is a strong option for adults who haven't found adequate relief through medication or therapy alone.
It may be the right fit if:
TMS is not a last resort. For many patients, it is simply a more direct path. One that works with the brain's own electrical activity rather than around it. A 2025 meta-analysis published in Neuropsychiatric Disease and Treatment analyzing 15 randomized controlled trials across 760 PTSD patients found rTMS significantly improved core PTSD symptoms compared to control groups, with symptom improvement correlating directly with increased treatment sessions.
Brain Frequency™ builds on the same magnetic stimulation foundation as TMS – and takes it further. Rather than applying the same protocol to every patient, it starts by reading the brain's own electrical data and builds treatment around what it finds. Windmill Wellness Ranch has studied Brain Frequency™ across 2,596 of its own patients for multiple conditions, including depression, PTSD, and anxiety, associated with a 73.5% depression remission rate and a 75.6% PTSD remission rate.*
At Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health, it is paired with therapy and psychiatric care as part of a fully coordinated treatment plan, ensuring the neurological and clinical work always move in the same direction.
Here is what makes Brain Frequency™ different from standard TMS:
EEG brain map
A painless 19-channel map measures electrical activity across every functional area of the brain
Personalized calibration
Treatment frequency and targets are calibrated to each patient's unique neurological data
Targeted treatment
Magnetic pulses target up to five brain zones rather than one, adapting as the brain changes
Progress remapped
A new EEG every 10 sessions provides objective, measurable evidence of what is actually shifting
For patients who have tried standard TMS without adequate results, or who are navigating multiple co-occurring conditions, Brain Frequency™ offers a level of precision and personalization that standard protocols simply cannot match.
Brain Frequency™ is a private pay service and is not covered by insurance.

Every Brain Frequency™ course begins with a quantitative EEG – a brain map that measures electrical activity across every functional area of the brain and identifies the specific neurological patterns driving each patient's symptoms. That data becomes the blueprint for everything that follows.
Here is what a full course of treatment looks like:
Brain Frequency™ is the right option for patients who want treatment built around their brain's actual data rather than a standard protocol applied to everyone.

Brain Frequency™ is not just a more advanced version of TMS – it is a fundamentally different approach. One that treats each brain as unique, because it is. Sessions are available at Windmill Wellness Behavioral Health in North Central San Antonio and can begin this week.
