Huntington Beach Introduces Innovative TMS Therapy for Depression Treatment
Huntington Beach, California, has taken a significant step in mental health care with the introduction of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy at the Moment of Clarity center. This FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment is designed for patients battling depression, providing a beacon of hope for those who have not found relief through conventional medications or therapies.
TMS therapy utilizes magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain that are linked to mood regulation. As it becomes available to patients in Huntington Beach and nearby communities, including Seacliff, Huntington Harbour, and Bolsa Chica/Brightwater, it offers an alternative avenue for managing depression.
Safe Outpatient Treatment
Patients can receive TMS therapy in a safe, outpatient setting at Moment of Clarity, which aims to solidify its leadership in effective depression treatment within Orange County. Common side effects, such as mild scalp discomfort and headaches, have been reported by patients but are generally temporary and manageable compared to the risks associated with long-term medication use.
Comprehensive Mental Health Services

The center is known for fostering a supportive environment conducive to personal growth and healing, not just for individuals but also for couples.
Feedback from clients underscores the staff’s dedication to creating transformative experiences through customized care. The outpatient structure allows individuals to engage in treatment while balancing their work, school, and other daily responsibilities. In addition to depression, the center addresses a range of mental health issues, including anxiety and trauma treatment.
Personalized Treatment Plans
At Moment of Clarity, treatment plans are tailored to each patient, focusing on reframing negative thought patterns and developing coping strategies. The facility serves various local communities such as Huntington Harbour, Yorktown, Downtown Huntington Beach, Bolsa Chica/Brightwater, Seacliff, and Goldenwest Estates.
Engaging in Recovery
The center promotes patient autonomy and offers individualized mental health treatment instead of standard programs. Therapy sessions are conducted in small groups and one-on-one, providing a comfortable environment for therapy. Moment of Clarity also offers structured group sessions and therapeutic resources aimed at helping patients maintain stability after completing their programs. Family involvement is encouraged, providing loved ones with opportunities to understand mental health challenges and participate in the recovery journey.
