Hi this is Dr. Barreto (owner of MAPS). I want to thank our clients for being so patient as we figure things out with the TMS service and open more availability. The TMS ( Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) treatment for depression and Alzheimer’s project has been a success. So here is us again renovating yet another office in case we need two TMS chairs. The first group that started their daily 36 sessions in April graduates next month, and June is already booked with new patients. It has been fun to see them every day. Raul plays fashion videos and 80s movies or monster trucks and car chases and may even teach *some how to read music during their treatment. There seems to be this joy around these 18 min daily treatments that I’m sure has something to do with Raul and the fun person that he is, but mostly with the feeling of getting better, feeling a dark cloud lift. The state of the room I’m standing in on this picture reflects what life has been lately. Under construction. In the past weeks, Beth and I have been yelling and screaming at insurance companies on the phone as they delayed their payments…because they are not used to so many people using this service and we do not bill patients for wrongful denials, we fight the insurance companies for the patient (we always win after hours demanding to talk to the manager). We just got our first payments for the treatments, and there is no stopping us as long as God wants us to continue. If you have been thinking about TMS as a treatment for depression or memory loss, go to our website to the Neurostar question and answer section. and remember these would be daily treatments at the same place that throws a Cuban party with drums once a year 😜 https://www.mapsintegratedwellness.com/neurostartherapy

My father in law getting the 3 minute intensive TMS session. Insurance only covers the 20 minute one, but we offer a very competitive self pay rate. The 3 min session is done quickly at a higher intensity and it only requires 20 sessions. This can be done in a day. If interested call or text 904-310-9652.

Meet MAPS new doctor!

Greetings! My name is Dr. Jalesa Johnson, and I am thankful to be part of the MAPS team in Amelia Island. I hold a master’s degree in Rehabilitation Psychology and a doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology at Washington DC. My educational and field experience included assignments at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Washington DC and the ·Federal Medical Center in Rochester, with a concentration on forensics, psychological evaluations, and treatment of diverse populations including military members, civilians, inmates, and children. I specialize in treating schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders, and personality disorders. I also treat individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and posttraumatic stress disorder. In addition to psychotherapy, I will be conducting neuropsychological assessments at MAPS.
I am a strong believer in client centered therapy and teamwork. I will be right by your side on your journey to becoming the person you were always meant to be. Remember, your journey is not like any others, and this moment when you are reading this profile is where yours begins.
While I enjoy creating and embarking on diverse therapeutic journeys with each of my clients, I also enjoy diversifying my time outside of work. Spending time at the beach is one of my favorite things to do in addition to bowling, going to the movies, traveling, attending carnivals/fairs/festivals, and crocheting.
I look forward to working with you soon!

Dr. Barreto finished decorating the transcranial magnetic stimulation room and scheduling for brain mapping starts this week. There are more people on the waiting list than what we can handle in the next seven weeks, but we will schedule as far out as we have to and who knows, we may get a second chair and move people up. Don’t worry, Carin’s wrath after hearing we have to call so may people on Monday is reserved for her boss. Dr. Soleh just puts up with our shenanigans!

Those who are patients at MAPS know this is a picture of Dr. Dutchak, psychiatrist, and Ross Wise, psychiatric nurse practitioner, experiencing what TMS treatment will feel like for their patients. With TMS, magnetic coils generate a local electric field that crosses the cranium and activates the electrical activity of neurons in the brain. When a neuron is stimulated repeatedly, it initiates the formation of new synaptic connections through a process called LTP (long-term potentiation). Unlike medications that temporarily alter brain chemistry, TMS aims to retrain your brain, providing structural and functional changes that endure, with little to no side effects. Studies show that TMS can lead to i increased synaptic strength, improved neurotransmitter release (especially serotonin, dopamine, and glutamate, and long-lasting changes in cortical thickness and grey matter density in mood-related areas. TMS doesn’t just reduce symptoms—it helps rebuild the foundation for emotional stability, clarity, and cognitive flexibility. Studies show a 56% reduction in memory loss in Alzheimer's patients and up to 96% increase in independence. The treatment is FDA approved and insurance covered for OCD, Depression, Anxious Depression, PTSD and migraines. It is being used off label to reduce cognitive impairment with great success. If you know someone struggling with deep depression and cognitive decline, this would be a great option for them.

TMS training was so fun today. What I love about our team is that they don’t think twice when an opportunity to do something innovative arises. We roll with it , figure it out , and master it. Will post more about the treatment itself soon! This post is a shoutout to the most amazing group of people. Dr. Felix Soleh we missed you today.

Nothing makes me happier at my desk than doing our productivity reports and finding out all our clinicians are absolutely killing it and thinking about the wonderful humans they are. So thankful for our team! We did great this year and we are projected to bump it up next year. Love you all.

Black and white pictures have a timeless quality. Perhaps it is because the first pictures ever developed from a camera had no color due to limitations in early technology and suddenly we dont know what year it is when we look at them, or maybe because it makes our eye focus on contrast, making the contextual elements that tell time kind of meaningless. I thought I would celebrate my friend and colleague Dr. Dutchak by posting a black and white picture because she really is timeless, and, when you are around her the background noise stops mattering and all that matters is you as a person. Denise Dutchak it was your birthday this week and we owe you the usual white cake at MAPS when we all return! But I think I speak for all of us when I say thank you for making everything better and for making all of us feel we are perfect the way we are no matter how messy. Love u.
