When your mind feels foggy,
you want your confidence back.
You lose your train of thought. Familiar tasks take more effort. You are still showing up for work and family, but it no longer feels like your usual self.
Start with a clinician-guided conversation about focus, memory, fatigue, mood and menopause-related changes. Explore a plan that may include rTMS using EXOMIND when clinically appropriate.

It is more than forgetting a word.
You may want to feel prepared in a meeting, finish a task without starting over, or have something left for yourself after everyone else has had their share.
Brain fog & mental fatigue
Difficulty finding words, staying on track or thinking clearly can feel unsettling. We look at the pattern and the factors around it before recommending treatment.
Perimenopause & menopause
Changes in concentration, memory, sleep and mood can overlap during this transition. You deserve a careful review, including medical care when appropriate.
ADHD & executive function
Planning, starting and completing tasks may be difficult for many reasons. Assessment can help distinguish longstanding ADHD from mood, sleep, stress and other contributors.
Build care around the life you want to reclaim.
More capacity for daily life
Choose practical goals: following through on an important task, managing your workload or having more energy to participate in family life.
Clarity about what is happening
Understand what may be contributing to your difficulties and whether psychological assessment, medical review or another form of care should come first.
A plan you can evaluate
Review baseline symptoms, everyday functioning and progress. Brain optimization is a care goal, not a promise of faster processing or a higher IQ.
Brain-focused treatment, with a clear reason for using it.
Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) uses magnetic pulses to stimulate selected brain regions. EXOMIND is the technology used at our clinic. Your clinician reviews whether the treatment and proposed protocol fit your clinical needs.
When depression is part of the picture, rTMS may be an option to discuss, especially when usual treatment has not provided enough relief. Improved mood may help some people engage more fully in everyday activities and other care.
Match the evidence to your concern.
Evidence for treating depression is stronger than evidence for ADHD, nonspecific brain fog, menopause-related cognition or performance enhancement. We do not present rTMS as a proven menopause treatment or substitute for hormone care, ADHD care or a medical assessment.
Changes in sleep and mood can influence cognitive complaints during menopause. We coordinate with your medical provider when hormonal or other medical contributors need review.
Understand the pattern. Choose the next step.
Start with your experience
Discuss when the changes began, their impact, sleep, stress, current care and what you want life to feel like.
Consider the full picture
Review whether mood, ADHD, menopause, medication effects or other medical factors require assessment or coordinated care.
Build a measurable plan
Choose appropriate options together, which may include psychotherapy, executive-function strategies, assessment or rTMS. Review progress and adjust.
If rTMS is considered, screening includes relevant medical history, implants, medications and seizure risk. Scalp discomfort and headaches can occur; seizures are rare. You remain awake during treatment.
Start with a conversation. Decide with the full picture.
The initial 15-minute consultation is free. If treatment is appropriate, standard EXOMIND sessions are $500 per session. The core package is $3,000 for eight sessions: six paid sessions plus two included.
Your treatment schedule, assessment needs and any additional services are reviewed before you choose a pathway. Outcomes and the number of sessions needed vary.
Insurance: EXOMIND treatment is private-pay. Eligible psychological services may be covered under your plan; coverage and direct billing depend on the service, provider and insurer. We cannot guarantee reimbursement or veterans, employer or disability-plan funding.
Financing: Ask about available financing options and their full terms. Financing is subject to provider approval.
Questions before you book
Is rTMS proven to treat menopausal brain fog?
No. Evidence for rTMS as a specific treatment for menopause-related cognitive complaints is limited. A consultation can clarify whether depression or another treatable contributor is present and which options are appropriate.
Can I explore this while waiting for an ADHD assessment?
Yes. You can ask about support for mood, sleep and daily functioning while awaiting assessment. rTMS does not establish or rule out ADHD and does not replace an appropriate ADHD assessment or established treatment.
Will I need to stop medication or hormone therapy?
Do not change medication or hormone therapy without your prescriber. We review current treatment and coordinate care when needed.
What if my memory changes are new or worsening?
A medical review may be the most appropriate first step, particularly for sudden, progressive or unexplained changes. The consultation helps identify what assessment or referral is needed.
You do not have to guess what your brain needs.
Talk about what has changed, what you want to regain and which care options make sense for you. Start with a free 15-minute rTMS suitability consultation.
