Hospital-based neurostimulation and assisted therapies, delivered within a medically governed, multidisciplinary environment.
Suitability is determined following a comprehensive psychiatric assessment.
About advanced treatments
At Avive Health, we recognise that for some people, traditional treatments like medication and psychotherapy may not provide complete relief. Neurostimulation and advanced therapies are designed for people who have not experienced sufficient improvement with standard therapies.
Our neurostimulation and assisted therapies integrate newer approaches – transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), medically supervised assisted therapy for depression, and Empax Centre’s program for treatment-resistant depression and PTSD – into a comprehensive model of psychiatric and psychological care, to help people reconnect with themselves, build emotional flexibility and support their recovery.
Avive’s assisted therapies are delivered within a clinician-led, trauma-informed environment, under specialist psychiatric oversight.
Each treatment plan is individually tailored – combining assisted therapy sessions with integrated psychological support, medical oversight, structured treatment pathways and ongoing aftercare to support stabilisation and recovery.
Conditions that may be considered include:
These treatments aren’t suitable for everyone. Suitability is determined following a comprehensive psychiatric assessment.
