Supportive psychotherapy referrals
Whether you live near Memorial Park, Fort Carson, Briargate, or Downtown Colorado Springs, you deserve treatment that helps you feel grounded, safer in your body, and more connected to the people you love.
Medication Management for PTSD in Colorado Springs, CO
Medication can reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and support stabilization during PTSD recovery. Our team reviews your symptom history, previous medications, and treatment goals to find the right fit.
Over time, we adjust your plan to make sure your medications remain effective and well-tolerated. Many patients combine medication with TMS or MeRT for a more complete treatment response.
Medication management in Colorado Springs is ideal for individuals seeking structure, consistency, and long-term stability. Our approach ensures your treatment evolves as your symptoms improve.
Ketamine Therapy for PTSD in Colorado Springs, CO (Off-Label)
Ketamine works rapidly by enhancing neuroplasticity and supporting the brain’s ability to reprocess trauma. Many patients begin noticing relief in hours or days, long before traditional medications would take effect.
This can create the emotional breathing room needed to manage PTSD symptoms without feeling overwhelmed. Ketamine is administered in a medically supervised environment for safety and stability.
For individuals with severe, treatment-resistant PTSD or intense emotional distress, ketamine can be life-changing. It supports deeper therapeutic work and improves emotional regulation from the inside out.

MeRT for PTSD in Colorado Springs, CO (Off-Label)
MeRT uses qEEG brain mapping to identify dysregulated neural patterns caused by trauma. Instead of a standard approach, MeRT creates a personalized neuromodulation protocol tailored to your brainwave activity.
Many patients report deeper sleep, improved concentration, and a calmer emotional baseline after several weeks of treatment. MeRT can be especially helpful for long-term trauma survivors who feel “stuck” despite therapy or medication.
If your PTSD symptoms feel deeply rooted or neurologically ingrained, MeRT offers a more specialized, data-driven path to healing. This makes it a preferred option for veterans, first responders, and individuals with complex trauma histories.
TMS for PTSD in Colorado Springs, CO (Off-Label Use)
TMS stimulates underactive areas of the brain involved in mood regulation, emotional processing, and stress responses. Many people notice improvements in sleep, intrusive thoughts, and emotional steadiness within weeks.
Because TMS is non-invasive and requires no anesthesia or recovery time, it’s ideal for individuals who haven’t responded well to medications. Patients often describe feeling more grounded and mentally clearer as treatment progresses.
If you’ve tried traditional therapy and medications without meaningful relief, TMS may be the next step. Our Colorado Springs team builds each TMS plan with trauma sensitivity and close clinical support.
What to Expect During PTSD Treatment
Your first session begins with a comprehensive assessment of your symptoms, trauma history, and treatment goals. From there, we build a personalized plan that may include TMS, MeRT, ketamine therapy, medication management, or a combination of these.
As treatment progresses, many patients notice increased mental clarity, fewer intrusive thoughts, and deeper emotional steadiness. The timeline varies, but improvements often start within the first several weeks.
Healing is a gradual process, and every patient’s pace is different. What matters most is staying consistent and communicating openly with your provider.

Hear from Our Patients at Southern Colorado TMS!

The Southern Colorado TMS Center is truly the most caring, compassionate mental health facility I have ever known. You always hear stories about why people have gone into the mental health field, but these folks truly live it. Everyone who works for SCTMSC (and I mean everyone), exudes warmth and empathy. They walk the walk. One of my family members utilized several of their services, and I got to witness firsthand how they deal with patients. I would highly recommend them to anyone suffering from depression, because they not only offer treatments but expect patients to participate fully in their recovery.

Dear TMS staff, I want to express my thanks for all your sincere help while I went through a very difficult time. Every time I went to the center the staff was so kind and understanding. The educational classes in the evening were wonderful and I have learned so much about depression. I still look at the handouts you provided. I have gotten into meditation and continue to educate myself about depression and anxiety. If I watch “Friends” on the TV, I will always think of my experience at the Southern Colorado TMS Center!! Thank you for doing your job so well.

Barb – 46
All the staff at SCTMSC are very caring during all of the components of the TMS treatment. From dealing with insurance companies to adjusting one’s treatment time due to conflicts with your schedule; they are all wonderful. I would recommend TMS treatments to any person suffering MDD, as I have for many years. From my experience, TMS helped me far more than an anti-depression medication or CBT.

FB – 35
Dear TMS Team, I just wanted to say that 6 months after treatment, I am doing well. I have a new life and I am living it up. It is like being young again as I am finding my way again. I am so grateful to Dr. Fleming, Camice, Dawn and all the folks who helped me to get here! But especially to Dr Fleming.

Michelle – 37
Dear Dr. Hammock, I am so incredibly grateful and appreciative for all the time and attention you gave to my husband and me. Thank you, thank you for caring so much abut the individual person. I am also grateful that you took the time to help us separate out how we view ourselves in relation to our understanding of God’s love for us verses our symptoms of major depression; neither of us had realized or thought about that. That was incredibly insightful of you and so thoughtful of you to help us get to the root of it. Thank you for helping so many people. I can tell, that you and your team do a lot of good with very sincere hearts. It shines through unmistakably.

I personally believe TMS should be the first line of treatment for major depressive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder – no medication changes and essentially no side effects! My treatment at Southern Colorado TMS Center is my second round of TMS therapy. The first round resolved my depressive symptoms for several years but when started feeling the depression come back, I knew exactly what to do. Southern Colorado TMS was able to get me scheduled quickly and started with therapy almost immediately. The staff worked on my behalf to have the treatment covered by insurance. I cannot speak highly enough about TMS therapy and Southern Colorado TMS. The therapy has improved my mood in just 8 weeks and the staff are top-notch! I felt welcome on each visit and appreciated the extra touches like a drink and snack after treatment. Southern Colorado TMS Staff – thank you so much for all your help!
