Compassionate Care. Proven Treatment. Real Relief.
Shanti TMS is a locally owned, physician-led clinic specializing in TMS therapy in Portland for adults and adolescents. We offer a safe, non-invasive, FDA-approved approach for people whose depression, anxiety, OCD, or PTSD hasn’t improved with medication or traditional therapy. One location, one consistent team, and a physician at every visit. If you haven’t found lasting relief yet, this may be the path forward you haven’t explored.
Most people who come to us have already tried something. Medication, therapy, sometimes both. What they often haven’t tried is an approach that works directly on the brain activity driving the problem rather than managing symptoms from the outside. TMS does that, and for many people it’s the first thing that’s actually moved the needle.
We keep care simple and consistent. One Portland location, the same physician-led team from your first appointment to your last, and no corporate scheduling or rotating staff. A physician is on-site every day. You’ll know who your care team is, and they’ll know you.
Every program at Shanti TMS starts with a real conversation with a physician about where you are, what you’ve tried, and what might actually help. Care is tailored to each person’s condition, history, and goals. Whether someone is coming in for depression, anxiety, OCD, or another condition, the plan is built around them specifically. That means no borrowed protocols and no guesswork.
Our programs include:
Not sure which program fits your situation? The physician evaluation at our Portland clinic is where that gets sorted out. We take the time to understand your full picture before making any recommendations. Every program starts with a thorough intake, and what comes out of it is tailored specifically for you.

Although it’s somewhat challenging to actually get up to the house and office it’s well worth it, Dr Bahl is very well trained in drug and alcohol issues. He’s very knowledgeable and very clear with expectations. I’ve gone through multiple doctors until I finally found Dr Bahl who actually knows what to do . I’ve had depression all my life and now he can even treat that as well as my withdrawal from an opioid. I find him to b a well qualified doctor. I would listen to him he knows what he is doing. The support staff have also been very helpful and supportive to me. I’m so happy after four years I have finally found this clinic. I highly recommend shanti to people who have a drug and alcohol problem and depression.Posted on Google pawan sekhonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I’ve been a client here for about a year and a half, my experience has been life changing. I know that may sound cliche, but I’ll put it to you like this: I came to Shanti via recommendation from a treatment center for depression. Talking with both doctors, I feel listened to, validated, not talked down to. They are very knowledgeable in their field, and I trust their judgement. Side note, Rose fought with my insurance company for for me to get me approved for TMS therapy, which I am currently in the middle of. The process for TMS is quick and straight forward.

A New Approach to Treating Depression — Without Medication
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is an FDA-approved, non-invasive treatment that uses gentle magnetic pulses to stimulate brain areas involved in mood regulation. It’s used for depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and other conditions that haven’t responded to medication or therapy alone. TMS is drug-free, covered by most major insurance plans, and requires no sedation or downtime. Most people return to their normal routine right after each session.
TMS therapy at our Portland clinic is delivered in a calm outpatient setting with physician oversight at every visit. Sessions run 20 to 40 minutes, and most people begin noticing changes within the first few weeks. For anyone who has tried other approaches without enough relief, TMS works differently. It doesn’t just manage symptoms. It targets the brain activity driving them.
Comfort. Privacy. Peace of Mind.

Answers to Your Most Common Questions
We know choosing the right treatment is a big decision. Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often about TMS therapy.
Antidepressants alter brain chemistry throughout the body, while TMS targets specific neural circuits involved in mood regulation directly. Many people who haven’t responded to medication find TMS reaches what medication couldn’t.
Our TMS treatment programs cover anxiety, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, addiction, and adolescent depression in addition to major depressive disorder. A physician evaluation determines which protocol fits your specific diagnosis and history.
A standard course runs 4 to 6 weeks with sessions five days a week, each lasting 20 to 40 minutes. Your physician sets the exact number of sessions based on your diagnosis and how you respond.
Most major plans cover TMS for treatment-resistant depression, and coverage for other conditions varies. Our team verifies your benefits and handles prior authorization before treatment begins.
Prior TMS experience doesn’t disqualify you. Protocol, coil placement, and equipment all affect results. Our physician reviews your history carefully to determine whether a different approach may produce better outcomes.
