MeRT®, Magnetic Resonance Therapy, is a customized form of rTMS (repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) that uses advanced brainwave mapping to guide treatment.
We begin with a quantitative EEG (qEEG), a noninvasive test that measures your brain’s electrical activity. This allows our clinical team to identify patterns that may be associated with symptoms such as depression, PTSD, anxiety, or cognitive changes.
Using this data, we develop an individualized rTMS protocol designed to support healthier brain communication. The neuromodulation technology used in treatment is FDA-cleared for major depressive disorder and OCD and may be used off-label, within the practice of medicine, for other neurological and mental health conditions.

We have treated a wide range of neurological conditions with EEG-guided rTMS (MeRT). Here are some of the most common ones.

Autism Spectrum Disorder, ASD
We have had very good success with symptom improvement treating both children and adults on the spectrum with MeRT.

Including Treatment Resistant Depression
rTMS as used with MeRT is FDA-cleared for the treatment of depression with the support of many published research studies that showed significant improvement.

Traumatic Brain Injuries
Head injuries can cause long-term adverse effects in brain function and other symptoms. Studies show MeRT can be beneficial for recovery.

And Generalized Anxiety Disorder, GAD
May include panic attacks, agoraphobia, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) can also trigger anxiety or panic attacks.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Often a result of experiencing or witnessing terrifying events, violence, or going through extended periods of extreme stress. MeRT can help.

For Cognitive Impairment
Not as fast mentally as you were? Memory issues or lessening of your mental sharpness or speed can all be addressed and often improved with MeRT.
With MeRT treatment, there is no pain. We only use magnetic waves for stimulation.
MeRT uses brain scans and diagnostics to tailor treatment for each person.
We use no electricity or penetration of the head. Just magnetic waves.
MeRT does not involve the use of medications or anesthetics.
Brain Treatment Center Michigan is veteran-owned and operated, and we are proud to serve active-duty service members, veterans, and military families.
We understand the unique challenges faced by the military community, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and the effects of trauma. Our team is committed to providing thoughtful, respectful care for those who have served.
TRICARE may cover FDA-cleared TMS treatment for depression, depending on individual eligibility. Our care team is happy to help answer questions and guide patients through the verification process.
My son was what we call it “stuck on not making progress” specifically on his communication skills. we can all tell that he wants to say more but didn’t have the technique to put it all together. My husband and I finally decided to try MeRT at BTC. The first two weeks, it was a bit difficult for him. He was putting more words together, but not in the order that was understandable. Which made it frustrating to him. However, after that the last 4 weeks he was like a chitter box!!!! Not only he was communicating better, but he was more interactive, aware of other’s facial or emotional expression. Now everyday we are discovering more and more of what my son is capable of. We thank the team at BTC helping us get to where we are now.” - S.W.
My kiddo is finishing up her last two weeks of treatment and I cannot be more excited about the gains/progress we have had in the last 6 weeks. She was very aggressive, high anxiety, no eye contact when talking. One to two words when communicating. Now we can have a relay back and forth conversation at least 3 times with a lot more words. No meltdowns. She has become more social with her sibling and peers at school. Better sleep hygiene. Independent with her hygiene morning routine and improvements in school. We will do maintenance at the end of the summer for 2-4 weeks.”
My experience here has been life changing. My 15 year old son with Autism after only 3 weeks of treatment has already begun to show great improvement. He is less aggressive, his speech is more fluent and he is finally sleeping throughout the night. It’s like a light switch has been turned on.”
For anyone suffering from depression, anxiety, and other symptoms, I highly recommend trying MeRT at the Brain Treatment Center. My adult son who has suffered from both problems his entire life, and has been on medication, realized a positive change after the first visit. We saw dramatic improvement after each visit. This technology is truly a magic bullet for the right candidate. The staff is professional and friendly. The facilities are equally professional. I would highly recommend The BTC to anyone that can afford the treatments."
I’m back! My TBI turned me into someone I barely recognized. I was depressed, mean, and short-tempered. I pushed through life filled with frustration and a deep sense of sadness that this was it. I just had to keep pushing through life with an overwhelming tiredness. I’m so glad I was wrong. I think my direct reports and family are even more thankful. This treatment changed everything, and I am forever thankful.”
Of all my injuries, by far the worst were the ones you could not see. I had degraded to the point of not being able to leave my home because of panic attacks and severe anxiety. I could not hide from this feeling, and no medication could numb it. I underwent neural restorative therapy [MeRT] for two months with total symptom resolution. Now, I can function again at work and can spend much-needed time with my family. I have my sense of well-being back and a clarity of thought I haven’t had in many years.”
My experience was life changing. I struggled through years of sleeplessness, constant worry, and struggle with everyday life. Halfway through my first treatment plan, my spirit was revived. My loved ones, acquaintances, and people I met started to comment on my positivity and overall demeanor. I went from losing hope, to cherishing every moment. I would urge anyone who is struggling with head injury, depression, PTSD, or any type of psychological struggle(s) to pick up the phone and inquire. Your best days are still to come."
It was absolutely terrifying to not know what was wrong with me or how to fix the problem. MeRT not only identified the deteriorated state of my brainwave activity, they restored its function… I consider the healing I experienced to be nothing short of a miracle.”
