Technician for Mental Health TMS Clinic

Texas Hill Country TMS is looking for a full-time TMS technician at our upcoming Boerne location! We solely offer repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), primarily for treatment-resistant depression. TMS is a non-invasive office-based procedure that is safe and effective with minimal side effects. TMS technology uses magnetic energy to activate underactive depression circuits, increase BDNF, increase brain blood flow, release dopamine and more.
