Karma TMS PC announced on September 15, 2026, that it has delivered more than 20,000 Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation treatments across Southern California’s Coachella Valley and Riverside County. According to announcements from Newsfile Corp., the milestone marks nearly a decade of growth for the practice in addressing treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related mood disorders.
Expansion Across Southern California Desert Communities
Founded and led by board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Keerthy Sunder, Karma TMS operates three distinct clinical locations in Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, and Twentynine Palms. According to published corporate releases, this multi-site footprint makes FDA-approved TMS therapy accessible to residents throughout the Coachella Valley, the High Desert, and the wider Riverside County community. The high desert facility in Twentynine Palms is situated minutes from the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, functioning as a dedicated resource for military service members and veterans seeking specialized trauma and PTSD care.
Clinical Framework and Brain Stimulation Technology
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation utilizes targeted magnetic pulses to stimulate underactive regions of the frontal and midbrain associated with mood regulation. According to clinical background provided by the practice, the therapy helps balance neural activity for patients who have not achieved lasting relief through pharmaceutical medications alone. Treatment at Karma TMS is integrated into a comprehensive psychiatric model that incorporates brain mapping, PrTMS, medication management, and ongoing progress tracking administered by a multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychiatric nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and physician associates.
Community Engagement and Academic Outreach
Beyond clinical operations, Dr. Sunder and the Karma TMS team participate in local health fairs, fundraising efforts, and wellness initiatives alongside regional city leaders. According to company disclosures, the practice also provides academic and internship opportunities for students pursuing careers in psychiatry, neuroscience, and behavioral health within the desert region. Dr. Sunder holds a faculty appointment at the UC Riverside School of Medicine and serves on the board of the Society for Brain Mapping & Therapeutics.
