About us:
TMS Life is an established private mental health clinic in Ottawa that specializes in providing advanced assessment and treatments for depression, OCD, PTSD and other mental health conditions.

TMS is a first-line, medication free option for Treatment-resistant Depression after one failed anti-depressant trial. It is Health Canada approved for Depression, OCD and smoking cessation.
TMS Life was founded in September 2023 by our psychiatrist, Dr. Chris Taplin, to provide a high quality of care and to continue to advance and adopt evidence based mental health treatments as they become available. As part of our clinical treatment program, we are also actively working to improve treatment outcomes through a parallel clinical research program. Our goal is to give each client that walks through our door the best chance at recovery.
