    Michaela McMahon

    TMS Therapist

    Hi there, I’m Michaela. I am one of the TMS Therapists here at Florida TMS Clinic. A little bit about me, I am a recent graduate from the University of South Florida (Go Bulls!). I received my B.S. in Environmental Science and Policy and minored in Chemistry while on the pre-medical track. I have hopes of attending medical school one day. In addition to my role as a TMS Therapist at Florida TMS Clinic, I am a graduate student at USF in the College of Public Health concentrating in Global Communicable Disease. I had the pleasure of calling Florida my home for the past eight years living in the Tampa Bay area. I do enjoy having an occasional beach day; however, I prefer to take a beautiful hike up a mountain. The irony of living in Florida! One fun fact about me is I love going to fairs, whether it be the Florida State Fair or the Strawberry Festival. You can find me riding all the rides and eating every type of fair food you can think of. As we all know, life can be stressful. Finding ways to destress and be mindful about how you are feeling and thinking is a process in and of itself, but it is rewarding in the end. I realized that being surrounded by nature is one way I destress and practice mindfulness. To me, nature has this calming presence that keeps me grounded. Going on hikes or kayaking are two activities that I am able to surround myself within nature to destress. I always try to remember this quote. “Feel what you need to feel and then let it go. Do not let it consume you.” - Dhiman

    My position at Florida TMS Clinic as a TMS Therapist

    My responsibilities consist of checking in all patients, prepping and overseeing all patients’ TMS treatment, and tracking all patients’ progress throughout their treatment. I ensure that all patients are informed about their treatment plan and explain their TMS treatment protocol. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation can sound a little more complicated than it should be. Having a supportive TMS therapist next to you is very helpful in alleviating any anxiety you might have.

    My Goals as a TMS Therapist

    As a TMS therapist, I strive to get to know each of my patients and have them get to know me. Building a trusting environment, I believe, is a key factor in helping my patients go into remission. I strive to actively listen to what is happening in my patient’s life and validate what they are feeling and thinking at the time.  I enjoy what I do every day as a therapist here at Florida TMS Clinic. To me, my role goes above and beyond just delivering the treatment. Walking the patient through the TMS journey is usually at the most challenging point in their lives. It connects me more with my patients and will definitely help with my future career plans to become a physician myself.

    What Do I like About What I Do?

    Honestly, the patients may just be the best part. Patients do not come to us in their best state, and I admire them for having a positive spirit and hope despite what they are going through. The work environment is also exceptional. My colleagues, Alexis, Joanna, and Taylor, all have the same goal to help every person who walks into the clinic. I enjoy what I do every day as a TMS Therapist here at Florida TMS Clinic.
