Christopher's clinical focus at Minneapolis Mental Health & TMS includes specialized expertise in PTSD, Depression, Bipolar. TMS for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder works by rebalancing the hyperactive threat-detection circuits in the brain. Stimulation of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex has shown promise in reducing intrusive memories, emotional numbness, and hyperarousal symptoms. For patients whose trauma symptoms have not responded to therapy or medication alone, TMS offers a targeted neurobiological intervention. In treating depression with TMS, the focus is on stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a brain region consistently found to be underactive in patients with major depressive disorder. By restoring normal activity in this region, TMS helps re-engage the neural circuits responsible for mood regulation, motivation, and cognitive function. Clinical trials demonstrate remission rates of 50-60% in treatment-resistant cases. At Minneapolis Mental Health & TMS, Christopher works with Nexstim — an FDA-cleared TMS system. This technology delivers precise magnetic stimulation to targeted brain regions with proven clinical efficacy. Christopher stays current with evolving treatment protocols, including standard repetitive TMS, theta burst stimulation, and accelerated treatment schedules where appropriate. What patients consistently note about Christopher is the combination of clinical expertise and personal attention. From the initial consultation through the final maintenance session, Christopher ensures each patient understands their treatment plan, knows what to expect, and feels supported throughout their recovery journey at Minneapolis Mental Health & TMS.

William is dedicated to providing patients in the Hennepin County with access to advanced, FDA-cleared brain stimulation treatments that offer a proven alternative when traditional medications fall short. After earning a medical degree from Mayo Clinic Alix School of Medicine, William pursued specialized training in psychiatry with a focus on interventional and neuromodulation techniques. This academic background, combined with extensive clinical rotations in treatment-resistant cases, built the foundation for a career dedicated to advancing brain stimulation therapy. Dr. William Jackson, MD brings 17+ years of psychiatric practice to Minneapolis TMS Center, with a significant portion of that career focused specifically on brain stimulation therapies. This depth of experience means patients benefit from a clinician who has navigated every common scenario in TMS treatment — from optimizing coil placement to managing treatment-resistant cases that require creative protocol adjustments. Central to William's practice is the conviction that patients deserve both cutting-edge neuroscience and genuine compassion. Rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol, each patient at Minneapolis TMS Center receives a treatment plan shaped by comprehensive evaluation, ongoing symptom tracking, and open collaboration between doctor and patient. William's clinical focus at Minneapolis TMS Center includes specialized expertise in Anxiety, Chronic Pain, Bipolar. TMS therapy for anxiety targets specific prefrontal cortex regions involved in emotional regulation and threat processing. By modulating activity in these circuits, TMS can help reduce excessive worry, physical tension, and the hypervigilance that characterizes anxiety disorders. Emerging research supports both standard and accelerated TMS protocols for generalized anxiety, with many patients experiencing relief that complements or replaces medication-based approaches. TMS for chronic pain conditions targets the motor cortex and pain-processing regions of the brain. By modulating these neural pathways, TMS can reduce the perceived intensity of chronic pain and break the pain-depression cycle that often compounds suffering. Research has shown particular promise for fibromyalgia, neuropathic pain, and migraine prevention. At Minneapolis TMS Center, William works with Magstim — an FDA-cleared TMS system. This technology delivers precise magnetic stimulation to targeted brain regions with proven clinical efficacy.
