ABout rTMS International
Mission
At rTMS International, we are committed to providing high-quality, safe and accessible rTMS treatments to adults with mental health conditions for which rTMS is an appropriate, scientifically supported treatment option, including depressive disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
We believe that every client has the right to treatment that is evidence-based, personalised and respectful. Therefore, we work in accordance with current professional guidelines, use proven treatment methods and actively involve clients in decisions about their treatment through shared decision-making.
Our mission is not only to reduce symptoms, but also to promote recovery, strengthen self-reliance and improve quality of life.
Vision
rTMS International aims to be a leading centre of expertise in rTMS and neuromodulation within mental healthcare. We believe that innovative treatment methods, combined with personalised care and multidisciplinary collaboration, can contribute to the long-term recovery of people with mental health conditions.
We actively follow scientific developments and professional guidelines to ensure that our care remains aligned with the latest insights in mental healthcare and neuromodulation. By investing in expertise, scientific research, innovation and quality improvement, we aim to continuously develop the care we provide to our clients and contribute to the further integration of neuromodulation within Dutch mental healthcare.
Safety, quality, accessibility and shared decision-making are central to everything we do.
Specialised care
with a clear focus
rTMS International specialises in rTMS treatments for adults with treatment-resistant depression and OCD. As a specialised mental healthcare provider, we focus exclusively on conditions for which rTMS is considered an appropriate treatment option based on current scientific evidence and professional guidelines. This allows us to fully apply our expertise within a clearly defined area of care.
Our approach
We take an evidence-based approach, with clear indication criteria, established treatment protocols and a carefully managed outpatient treatment setting. Each referral is thoroughly assessed, and we communicate transparently about treatment options, expectations and any potential limitations. This structured approach helps us provide safe, high-quality and goal-oriented care.
Organisatie en kwaliteit
Treatments are provided within a clear organisational structure in which quality and patient safety are central. Indications are carefully assessed, evaluated periodically and, where appropriate, discussed within a multidisciplinary team. By working according to established protocols, scheduled evaluation points and quality processes, we ensure the consistent and safe delivery of our care.
Mensgerichte zorg
In addition to specialised treatment, we believe it is important that clients feel heard, involved and well-informed throughout their treatment journey. We believe that effective care goes beyond reducing symptoms and also contributes to recovery and resilience. Through collaboration with referrers, continuous innovation and knowledge sharing, we contribute to future-proof mental healthcare.
