EN CALMA
Issue One · Fall 2026 · Digital edition
We are opening a
second clinic
Same people. A different way to wait.
On January 2027 we open the LeJeune office. Inside: what TMS is without the white coat, the team who will care for you, and one minute of calm before you go in.
Welcome letter
Thank you for
sitting here
Making that first mental health appointment is hard. Sometimes it takes months. If you are reading this, you have already done the hard part of the day.
We have been caring for Miami families for years. Many arrive after trying two, three, five different medications and still not feeling like themselves. For a good number of them, TMS and advanced treatments were the point where things finally started moving again.
This first issue comes from a simple idea: that waiting should not be empty time, but time in which you understand what we are going to offer you and who will be offering it.
And it brings news we have been waiting to share. On November 1 we open a second clinic on the LeJeune corridor. Nothing is closing: we are adding a place designed entirely around calm.

January, 2027 · Second location
The new house
860 NW 42 Ave, Suite 304. The LeJeune corridor, a step away from Coral Gables.
Our third office, and the first one designed entirely around an almost naive question: why does a psychiatric office have to look like a psychiatric office? Hard chairs against the wall, white ceiling light, a television nobody is watching.
Many of our patients arrive with their nervous system already on edge. Making the waiting room a pleasant place is not decoration: it is the first part of the treatment, the part that begins before anyone calls your name.
Both offices on SW 137th Ave continue exactly as they are, with the same team. LeJeune replaces nothing. It adds.
The new house · the details
Nine small decisions
01
Walking in
Nobody says your diagnosis out loud. Only your name.
02
The light
Dimmable in every room. No white fluorescents.
03
The sound
Soundproofed TMS rooms. In the waiting area, quiet.
04
The chairs
Reclining and individual, with real space between them.
05
The blanket
Always available. In recovery, almost everyone asks for one.
06
The slippers
Yours to take home. A patient’s idea.
07
Tea and coffee
Always on, with caffeine-free options.
08
The recovery area
Its own space, away from the foot traffic.
09
The parking
Covered, inside the building.
«Care works better when the room itself is calm. It is not an extra: it is half the work.»
Everything we do
TMS is one door.
There is more than one
SPRAVATO® · nasal esketamine

IV Ketamine
Physician-supervised infusions, with a personalized protocol and a dedicated recovery room.
Psychiatry and psychotherapy
Consultation, medication management and therapy. The foundation everything else rests on.

The team
Five people,
not a directory
In mental health, who you talk to matters as much as what you are offered.

Psychotherapy · LCSW
Bianca Jofre
Clinical social worker. Anxiety, grief and trauma in adults, bridging the office and what happens at home.
The plan is yours, not the protocol’s
No treatment here is applied off the shelf. First comes a full evaluation: what has already been tried, what half worked, which side effects were intolerable.

Explained slowly
What TMS is
Told the way we tell it to a new patient.
TMS stands for transcranial magnetic stimulation. It is FDA-approved for treatment-resistant depression and also for OCD.
You sit in a chair, awake, fully dressed, with no sedation. A coil rests against your head and delivers magnetic pulses — the same family as those in an MRI — to a region of the cortex that tends to be underactive in depression.
Nothing enters your body. There is no anesthesia and no surgery. When it ends you stand up and leave: you can drive, go back to work, pick up your kids.
What you feel is a rhythmic tapping and a clicking sound. The first sessions are mildly uncomfortable for some people; almost everyone adjusts within the first week.
You walk out of the session and carry on with your day. For many people, that alone changes everything.
What people ask first
Does it hurt?
No. It can feel uncomfortable at first. The intensity is adjusted.
Will it leave me groggy?
No. You leave as you arrived, without the systemic effects of medication.
How long does it take?
From a few minutes to a little over half an hour, in courses of several weeks.
Do I stop my medication?
Not necessarily. Many patients stay on it. That is the physician’s call.
What has changed
This is not the TMS
of ten years ago
Shorter sessions
Theta burst
Classic protocols took up half a morning. Theta burst patterns allow far shorter sessions with comparable results.
More precision
Individual targeting
The area stimulated is no longer calculated the same way for everyone: it is matched to each person’s anatomy.
More indications
Beyond depression
OCD now has an approved indication. There is active work in anxiety, PTSD, chronic pain and addiction.
Better coverage
Insurance covers it
Florida’s major insurers cover it when the clinical criteria are met. We handle the paperwork.
«The first thing that comes back is usually not joy. It is being able to feel bored without dread.»
The practical part
Insurance and first steps
In network
Florida Blue
Aetna
Cigna
UnitedHealthcare
Optum
Magellan Health
Medicare
Oscar Health
If yours is not listed, ask us anyway: the list changes. We handle prior authorization for you.
How it starts
I
You book
Reception verifies your coverage before the first visit.
II
Full evaluation
A long consultation: your history, what worked and what did not. No rush.
III
Plan and authorization
The treatment is decided and we handle the process with your insurer.
IV
You start, and it adjusts
The plan is not fixed. It is reviewed according to your response, week by week.
While you wait
One minute,
four counts
If you arrived with your pulse racing, this is the simplest thing you can do right now, seated, without anyone noticing.
4
Breathe in through your nose for a count of four
4
Hold it, without straining, for another four
6
Release through your mouth, slowly, for six
×6
Repeat six times. That is exactly one minute
The key is that the out-breath is longer than the in-breath: that is what tells your body it can lower its alert level.
If today is genuinely bad
Tell the person at the front desk before you leave, or call 988, the suicide and crisis lifeline, 24 hours, in English and Spanish. In a medical emergency, call 911.
