Welcome to Embracing Life Wellness Center - Miami TMS - Dr. Melissa Fickey, a premier mental health clinic dedicated to providing advanced and compassionate care. Located at 2600 Douglas Rd Suite 711, Coral Gables, FL 33134, our practice is founded on the principle of helping individuals rediscover their joy and reclaim their lives from the grip of depression and other mental health challenges. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Melissa Fickey, our center specializes in cutting-edge Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy, a non-invasive, FDA-cleared treatment that offers new hope for those who have not found success with traditional antidepressant medications.
At our Coral Gables clinic, we understand that the journey to mental wellness is deeply personal. That is why we prioritize creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment for every patient who walks through our doors. Our approach is holistic and patient-centered, beginning with a comprehensive evaluation to understand your unique history and treatment goals. Dr. Fickey and our dedicated team are committed to delivering personalized care plans tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the most effective and innovative treatments available right here in our office.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is the cornerstone of our services at 2600 Douglas Rd Suite 711. This revolutionary treatment uses targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate nerve cells in the brain regions known to be involved in mood regulation. Unlike electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS does not require anesthesia and is not associated with the memory loss or systemic side effects common with medication. Patients can simply relax in one of our treatment chairs during a session, which typically lasts around 20 minutes, and then immediately resume their daily activities, such as driving home or returning to work.
While TMS is our specialty, our practice embodies a comprehensive wellness philosophy. We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Our Coral Gables location is designed to be a sanctuary for healing, where patients can access expert psychiatric care and supportive therapies. We are dedicated to empowering our patients with the tools and support necessary for long-term mental well-being, helping them to truly embrace life once again.
If you or a loved one is seeking a new path to wellness, we invite you to connect with us.
