About Neurowave Amsterdam

The Neurowave team

Neurowave aims to improve the mental health and quality of life of people with depression and OCD. You will be seen quickly to see if rTMS could be a possibility for you. You can also contact us at any time with questions about the treatment and the effects of rTMS.

We currently work together in a team with a psychiatrist, two GZ-psychologists, three psychologists and a neurobiologist. Together, we have extensive experience with rTMS treatments and are one of the first practices in the Netherlands specialized in this treatment. We are a small-scale practice in the heart of Amsterdam.
