We Are Sunrise Neuro Behavioral
Our Mission
Our mission at Sunrise Neuro Behavioral LLC, is to provide a safe and effective alternative treatment for Major Depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) in Las Cruces and West Texas. Both conditions cause significant morbidity and side line many good people for years or entire lifetimes. We cannot promise happiness, although specific and proven treatment to parts of the brain that are not working as well as they have in the past have shown to improve quality of life. We are all the authors of our life’s biography, so it is important to do so as our best selves.
TMS and Depression
Over 40% of people suffering from major depressive disorder find that antidepressants do not work. Furthermore, they are faced with numerous medication side-effects such as nausea, insomnia and seizures to name a few.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a new, FDA approved option for people struggling with depression resistant to antidepressants or psychotherapy. There are now over 35 studies in adults with depression showing that TMS is a safe and effective treatment for depression. Furthermore, TMS is evidenced to treat generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorders, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), OCD, addiction disorders and other psychiatric conditions. Over 78% of participants in these studies report significant reduction of symptoms.
We aspire to provide the best practice delivery of TMS. Prior to starting treatment, our behavioral health professionals will make a thorough assessment of every patient. This assessment will include evaluation of their diagnosis, previous and ongoing mental health treatment, as well as their overall functioning and well-being.
Treatment will be conducted by our TMS-trained healthcare providers which will place an electromagnetic coil against the patient’s head that will send magnetic impulses to targeted areas that rebalance and modify activity across brain networks. One session usually lasts 20-30 minutes, and treatment is generally organized daily, during consecutive work-days. lasting for 5 to 6 weeks in total depending on diagnosis and response.
Call today to make an appointment (575) 221-9299.

Our goal is to couple cutting-edge technology with impeccable medical practice and assist every person battling mental-health conditions in creating a life of wellness, happiness and hope.

Roberto obtained his credentials at the University of Texas of El Paso and the Saint Louis University in Missouri.
