At Brain Treatment Center Ashburn, we specialize in MeRT—Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy—a cutting-edge, highly personalized approach to brain stimulation that helps individuals struggling with neurological and mental health conditions. MeRT is an advanced form of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), but what sets it apart is its individualized, data-driven approach.
As the exclusive provider of MeRT therapy in Northern Virginia, Brain Treatment Center Ashburn is dedicated to delivering innovative autism therapy and neurological care to children and adults. Located in Ashburn, VA, our clinic specializes in MeRT therapy for autism, traumatic brain injury (TBI), PTSD, and depression, offering a highly customized, science-backed approach to brain health. Families and veterans seeking advanced brain treatment in Northern Virginia can access this state-of-the-art therapy in a compassionate, expert-led environment.
How MeRT Works
MeRT begins with a qEEG (quantitative electroencephalogram), which maps brainwave activity to identify areas that are dysregulated or not functioning optimally. Using this information, we develop a customized treatment plan that delivers magnetic pulses to specific regions of the brain, aimed at restoring more natural, healthy neural activity. Unlike standard rTMS, which applies a one-size-fits-all stimulation pattern, MeRT tailors each protocol to the patient’s unique brainwave activity, maximizing its effectiveness.
MeRT: The Next Evolution of rTMS
Traditional rTMS is a well-established treatment for depression and other neurological conditions, but it follows a standardized stimulation pattern based on general population data. MeRT enhances this approach by incorporating real-time EEG data and customized frequency settings to deliver the most precise and individualized treatment possible. This level of personalization increases the therapy’s effectiveness and ensures that each patient receives care tailored to their brain’s unique needs.
MeRT for Autism Spectrum Disorders
For individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD), MeRT has shown promising results in improving communication, social engagement, and emotional regulation. Many families report significant improvements in language development, sensory processing, and overall quality of life after undergoing MeRT. By gently guiding the brain toward healthier neural activity, this therapy helps individuals on the spectrum build stronger connections, process their environment more effectively, and engage more fully with the world around them.
Our Commitment to Veterans
At Brain Treatment Center Ashburn, we are deeply committed to serving the veteran community. As a veteran-owned and operated clinic, we understand firsthand the impact of PTSD, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and depression. MeRT and rTMS have been life-changing for many veterans, helping to regulate mood, reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, and improve cognitive function. We are honored to be able to offer this treatment at no cost to veterans and active-duty service members through Tricare and the VA Community Care Network (VACCN).

MeRT Process Overview
At Brain Treatment Center Ashburn, the MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) process is structured, data-driven, and completely individualized. Below is a step-by-step breakdown of what to expect:
1. Initial Consultation & Evaluation
• Meet with our specialists to discuss symptoms, history, and treatment goals.
• Review medical history and determine if MeRT is the right fit.
2. qEEG (Quantitative Electroencephalogram) & ECG (Electrocardiogram) Testing
• A qEEG maps brainwave activity to identify areas of dysregulation.
• An ECG assesses heart-brain communication and overall autonomic function.
• These tests provide critical data for creating a personalized treatment plan.
3. Data Analysis & Custom Protocol Development
• Our team analyzes the EEG and ECG data to identify specific areas that need regulation.
• A personalized treatment protocol is designed based on the individual’s unique brainwave activity.
4. MeRT Treatment Sessions
• Sessions are typically 30-45 minutes long, 5 days a week over a course of 4-6 weeks.
• Magnetic pulses are applied to targeted areas of the brain to optimize neural activity.
• The treatment is non-invasive, painless, and requires no sedation.
5. Progress Monitoring & Adjustments
• Patients undergo follow-up qEEGs to track progress and refine the treatment plan.
• Adjustments are made based on real-time data and symptom improvements.
6. Post-Treatment Review & Maintenance Options
• At the end of the treatment cycle, a final assessment is conducted.
• Some patients may benefit from periodic maintenance sessions to sustain long-term results.
