What Is Exomind?
The Future of Mental Wellness Is Here
EXOMIND is BTL's breakthrough mental wellness treatment built on the foundation of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) — a well-established, noninvasive therapy that has been studied for decades in the treatment of Major Depressive Disorder.
EXOMIND's patented ExoTMS™ technology comfortably stimulates key areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation, cognitive function, and self-control — helping restore healthy brain activity and enhancing neural connectivity.
For patients who haven't found relief through traditional antidepressants, or who prefer a drug-free path, Exomind represents a meaningful new option — backed by science and supervised by our psychiatric team.
"EXOMIND represents a significant advancement in the field of TMS technology. It is a great alternative for patients who have not responded to traditional therapies. I support EXOMIND — not because it is new, but because it is effective, and it is giving patients meaningful outcomes when other interventions have failed."
Dr. Rachel McKenna trained alongside Dr. Dees at Washington University in St. Louis — consistently ranked among the top medical schools in the country.

The Science
How Exomind Works
A workout for your mind — stimulating the neural circuits that depression suppresses.
Brain Stimulation via Magnetic Pulses
ExoTMS uses precisely calibrated magnetic pulses to stimulate key areas of the brain involved in emotional regulation, cognitive function, and self-control.
Restoring Healthy Neural Activity
Depression is associated with reduced activity in certain neural circuits. ExoTMS activates these pathways — helping restore healthy brain activity and enhance neural connectivity.
Progressive Treatment Protocol
Most patients complete a series of sessions over several weeks. Many begin noticing improvement as treatment progresses, with benefits continuing after the protocol ends.
Psychiatrist-Supervised Care
At Haven, all Exomind treatments are integrated into your broader psychiatric care plan, monitored by our board-certified psychiatrists for optimal results.

Common Questions
ExoMind & TMS FAQ
What is ExoMind and how is it different from traditional TMS?
ExoMind is BTL's transcranial magnetic stimulation platform. Like traditional TMS it uses focused magnetic pulses to stimulate activity in the prefrontal cortex, but sessions are shorter and the system uses a chair-based, non-invasive setup with no sedation and no anesthesia.
Does TMS therapy hurt?
Most patients describe a tapping sensation on the scalp and, occasionally, mild scalp discomfort or a headache during the first few sessions that fades as you adjust. You are awake and alert the entire time and can drive yourself home afterward.
Who is a candidate for ExoMind at Haven?
It is most often used for depression that has not responded adequately to medication, and for patients who want to reduce their reliance on medication. Every candidate is evaluated first by Dr. Rachel McKenna, a board-certified psychiatrist — the treatment is never sold as a package before a clinical assessment.
How many sessions does a course of treatment take?
Protocols vary by patient. Dr. Rachel McKenna sets your session count and schedule during your evaluation and adjusts based on how you respond, rather than committing you to a fixed block up front.
Can I continue my medication and therapy during TMS?
Yes, in most cases. ExoMind is usually added alongside existing treatment, and any medication changes are made by your psychiatrist as part of the overall plan.
