COUNSELING AND WELLNESS CENTER OF PITTSBURGH EXPANDS ACCESS TO TMS THERAPY IN GREENSBURG
Non-invasive, FDA-approved Treatment Now Available in Westmoreland County for Treatment Resistant Depression
GREENSBURG, PA, December 29, 2025 (PittsburghNewsWire.com) —
Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh has launched Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy at its Greensburg location, bringing a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment for depression to Westmoreland County residents who haven’t found relief through traditional medication or therapy.
TMS uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation. The outpatient treatment requires no anesthesia or medication changes, with no downtime—patients return to daily activities immediately after each 30-minute session.
“I am thrilled to bring this cutting-edge and incredibly effective treatment option to Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh,” said Stephanie Wijkstrom, LPC, CEO of Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh. “TMS aligns perfectly with the holistic mission and treatment approach our company is leading across the region.”
Clinical studies show approximately 80% of patients experience a positive response to TMS therapy, with 51% achieving full remission.
Dr. Amanda Keffer, who has administered TMS therapy for over five years, says the treatment offers more than clinical results. “What makes TMS so remarkable is not only its clinical effectiveness, but the renewed sense of hope it offers patients. I’ve watched individuals move from despair to resilience, as TMS helped them reconnect with themselves and their lives.”
Counseling and Wellness Center of Pittsburgh integrates evidence-based mental health care with whole-person wellness. Each patient receives a thorough clinical evaluation, personalized treatment planning, and coordination with their existing therapist or psychiatrist when appropriate—all within a comprehensive wellness setting.
