What Is TMS Therapy? Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Following their training, they spent 10 years working within a community mental health center supporting low-income and indigent families, gaining deep insight into diverse patient needs.

Dr. Dasler is passionate about treating depression and ADHD, utilizing medication together with skill-building in their sessions to help patients maximize their potential. Their extensive experience also includes treating mood disorders, anxiety disorders, PTSD, and OCD, and they are a strong advocate for TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) as an effective non-medicative approach. Believing firmly in the mind-body connection, Dr. Dasler strives to address both aspects to deliver truly holistic, patient-centered care. Patients will find them a warm, compassionate provider who genuinely listens and works in partnership with them to find an effective treatment plan, while remaining sensitive to financial or insurance coverage factors that may impact care.
