Mental Wellness Program
Achieve Your True Potential
We serve a diverse range of patients at our purpose-built center in downtown Chicago, including politicians, top athletes, high-ranking CEOs, and people who work regular nine-to-five jobs.
The unifying factor in everyone we treat is that they want to improve their lives and the way they feel.
You deserve to function at 100%, and we’re here to help you with that. Our mental wellness program can help you discover your true potential.
Mental Wellness at GIA Chicago
When we’re weighed down with negative or unproductive thoughts, it can feel like we’re trapped. It impacts our careers, interpersonal and romantic relationships, and most importantly, how we feel about ourselves.
When we train our muscles, they respond. Over time, they learn to respond faster, to grow, and endure greater stress. It takes time to learn any new physical skill. Olympic athletes weren’t born masters of their craft – they worked for it.
Mental excellence is no different. With the right tools, including psychotherapeutic interventions from our expert therapists and transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS), GIA Chicago can help you boost your mental performance to get you to the level you want to reach.
How this looks will be different for everyone, but our patients usually tell us that their focus and concentration are improved, they sleep better, and feel better within themselves.
What is Mental Wellness?
Mental wellness isn’t just a lack of mental illness – it’s about thriving. People that feel mentally well are more positive, happy, and confident. They understand their emotions and use positive coping strategies in the face of adversity.
They’re unencumbered by self-doubt and know they’re running at optimum performance.
At GIA Chicago, we aim for our patients to have the strength to overcome any challenges life might throw at them, build happy and strong relationships, and excel in whatever they do.
Recognizing Your Needs
At GIA Chicago, we don’t use a cookie-cutter approach for mental wellness – you deserve more respect than that. We employ a personalized set of scientifically validated psychological and biological diagnostics, including:
- Brain imaging
- Blood analysis
- Cognitive testing
When we have a comprehensive overview of your individual health circumstances, needs, and personal goals, we can prepare a customized mental wellness program to help you reach your target. All of our work is collaborative – you’ll get a say in what works and doesn’t work for you.
We take a dynamic approach to your well-being. Throughout your time with us, we’ll constantly track and review your progress and alter our program should you need it. You can rest assured that at GIA Chicago, you’re in capable and caring hands.
TMS for Mental Wellness
Transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy (TMS) is a painless and safe treatment that uses an electromagnetic field to stimulate the brain’s frontal areas related to mood regulation and depression.
Our brain is at the center of our very being – it controls everything from our moods to how we respond to the world around us. TMS is a non-invasive way of helping to improve our brain’s function.
TMS has been used for decades, and our founder Dr. Antonello Bonci is one of the world’s leading experts. He’s authored multiple academic papers and improved thousands of his patients’ lives during his rich and extraordinary career. At GIA Chicago, you can rest assured that you’re getting expert treatment.
How Does TMS Work for Mental Wellness?
TMS was originally used for the treatment of major depression and is FDA-approved. Since its discovery in 1985, it’s been shown to have a huge range of benefits, including:
- Improving insomnia – one study found that TMS was more advantageous than medication to improve sleep architecture. It improves sleep time and efficiency and makes waking up easier. This also has the knock-on effect of reducing fatigue.
- Enhancing cortical activation – this boosts cognitive performance and both working and procedural memory.
- Improving our learning capacity.
Mental Wellness Program
We use a combination of different therapies and our unique TMS protocols to help optimize your brain function. The talking-based therapies we offer are:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) – this evidence-based approach helps you identify and change negative or harmful thought patterns or behaviors and build healthy coping skills.
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) – is similar to CBT but focuses more on helping to regulate emotions, overcome adversity, and be present in the moment.
- Family therapy – difficult relationships with loved ones tend to weigh us down and distract us. Family therapy helps us to rebuild our damaged relationships and helps us move forward.
