Participant Testimonial
Sarah Awad, TMS Technician said, “Training was hands‑on, immersive, and exactly what I needed to build confidence. Running real appointments while still learning helped ease my nerves and turned early mistakes into valuable lessons.”
She added, “Observing other techs connect with patients in their own unique ways was inspiring. I left training feeling capable, supported, and ready to start.”
Daily Structure and Assessment
Each day blends classroom learning, shadowing real appointments, peer treatment practice, and rigorous knowledge checks. Trainees are assessed daily and must return with mastery of topics like the STAR*D study and Serenity’s core treatment standards.
TMS Gauntlet
Olsen explains, “We even have something called the ‘TMS Gauntlet.’ It’s 45 questions covering safety protocols to patient care techniques. It’s all about internalizing what we teach.”
More than machines: teaching empathy in every session

Beyond Technical Mastery
Serenity equips technicians with leadership grounded in compassion. The program reframes everyday stress, turning challenges into resilience through gratitude practices.
