Welcome to Beaches TMS & Brain Health

We understand that depression and treatment resistant conditions are complex medical problems.

Some of our patients are  currently working with other mental health providers including: psychiatrists, psychologists,  and mental health counselors. Many mental health providers have referred patients to our clinic because they have witnessed the improvement, and in many cases, remissions with our treatment approaches. We have been able to temporarily assist patients with our services and allow them to continue their treatments plans with their providers long term.
 
Some of our other patients are self referred or are currently seeing their primary care physician. These patients often need medication reevaluation, psychotherapy, and an adequate tms protocol.
 

At Beaches TMS & Brain Health we are dedicated to helping patients suffering from treatment resistant mental health conditions that have not been helped by traditional medication management.

Here at Beaches Behavioral, we believe each patient benefits most from a collaborative, non- judgmental approach where patients are an active participant in their care, discovering hope and motivation, while Dr. Galliano facilitates patient education and offers options based on  the latest research and medical evidence.
