Rhonda Davis
Rhonda was born and raised in a small Iowa town of 35,000 people. The summer before her senior year of high school, her dad changed careers, taking her and her family to Colorado Springs. As traumatic as that could have been, it was the best thing that ever happened to Rhonda. She had experiences in a "big town" that she would not have had otherwise. She learned how to downhill ski and ran away to Vail every weekend, honing her newfound love.
Today, Rhonda is a mother of three and a grandmother of four of the sweetest faces she could have hoped for. She enjoys spending her time with her family and exploring the world around her. She likes hiking, listening to all types of music, and watching movies.
Rhonda has been in the medical field for about 10 years. She began her career in neurology and worked her way up to office manager for the same physician for eight years. While it was exciting, she felt a higher calling and found HPR Treatment Centers nearly a year ago. Rhonda heard the Henderson office was expanding, and she couldn't update her resume fast enough! Soon after starting as a Clinical Specialist, she knew this would be the most rewarding career of her life.
The stories her patients have discussed with her are familiar, and not too far removed from the life she's experienced. Rhonda's mother lived through her own bout of major depressive disorder. She was admitted into a mental health facility soon after giving birth to Rhonda, and she stayed in the inpatient facility for the first six weeks of Rhonda's life. Thankfully, she fought back and is today a healthy and happy 76-year-old great grandmother. Rhonda often thinks how much her mother could have benefited from TMS treatments, had that been an option back then.
Rhonda always tell her patients, "You never know the story behind the eyes." She has seen people "fake it" [happiness], which she recognizes as an exhausting feat in itself -- life merely existing in black and white and without much color. These are the same people that she sees a few short weeks later, living the lives they used to have and that now include the hobbies they used to enjoy and the families they can now interact and laugh with. It's a whole new world they forgot existed.
Rhonda would encourage anyone who is on the dark side of their own depression to walk into the light of HPR Treatment Centers. See how Rhonda helped professional Motorcycle Racer Chis Cooksey enjoy life again. She and the team will stand side-by-side and be your biggest cheerleader. Simply allow TMS treatments to bring a newfound bright, shining beacon of hope and peace to your own recovery.

I have such a strong passion for helping and making others smile. One small gesture can go a long way!

Anastazja Losiewicz B.S.
Anastazja Losiewicz is the TMS Coordinator at Success TMS for Glenview, IL.
Anastazja has been certified in TMS therapy since 2016 and has treated countless patients. She graduated from the University of Illinois at Chicago with a Bachelors of Science in Kinesiology and a minor in Psychology.
Anastazja understands the importance of communication between the patient and all members of the health care team to assure proper coordination of care. As a TMS Coordinator, her priority is to work with patients on everything that happens from the moment they step in the door for their free consultation, to the moment they start their 1st TMS treatment.
One piece of advice Anastazja has for anyone seeking out TMS therapy, is to have an open mind, patience, and 100% commitment to the treatment. She always tells her patients that “best thing they can do for themselves is to be open to the experience and make sure they don’t skip appointments, positive attitude and repetition [daily treatments] are the key to success with TMS therapy.”
A few fun facts about Anastazja; She is an animal-lover and wishes she could bring her two shih-tzus to work. She loves traveling to new places and believes that the world offers too much to travel to one place more than once (unless you’re visiting family 😉 ). To concentrate on her own mental and physical health, she tries to fit the gym into her busy schedule, spend time with her loved ones, FIND time for things she enjoys, and MAKE time for “me time”, whether it’s an hour a day or a few minutes here and there.
Kaysha Maldonado
Hey there! My name is Kaysha.
Though I have been working in a clinical environment in a number of fields since my high school years, I want to share with you how important it is that I feel that I have finally found my calling in life as a TMS Care Coordinator.
I have always felt like I had an empathic soul; to feel the pain of others around me is something that could not be helped throughout my whole life. This first-hand empathy molded me into a person whose one goal is to help others in any way that I can. I don’t think there is a single person who is not affected by depression and/or anxiety, be it first hand or witnessing the suffering of someone you care for.
Thus, to me, taking care of mental health is of equal importance as physical health. As a care coordinator, I feel I’ve finally put my passion for helping others to use in precisely the way I was always meant to.

I have always felt like I had an empathic soul; to feel the pain of others around me is something that could not be helped throughout my whole life. This first-hand empathy molded me into a person whose one goal is to help others in any way that I can. I don’t think there is a single person who is not affected by depression and/or anxiety, be it first hand or witnessing the suffering of someone you care for.
Thus, to me, taking care of mental health is of equal importance as physical health. As a care coordinator, I feel I’ve finally put my passion for helping others to use in precisely the way I was always meant to.

Katherine Neumann
Katherine graduated from West Chester University in 2012 with her degree in Liberal Arts and Sciences and a minor in French. In 2013, she volunteered at a non-profit, after school arts enrichment program for 2nd-4th grade girls in an underserved community where she went on to become Executive Director in 2014.
While in this position, Katherine provided a safe atmosphere for the young girls to learn, explore, create and achieve their full potential by exposing them to the arts (cooking, drama, language, etc.) that the schools were missing from their curriculum. She also helped the parents that were struggling with mental illness and/or substance abuse, find and use local resources to get the help they needed. Aside from the day-to-day operations, Katherine acted as grant writer and did the fundraising/events for the organization.
Katherine wanted to work at Success TMS because she has a true, genuine passion for helping others and was particularly interested in a non-medication alternative. Having successfully completed TMS, she can confidently say it’s a life changer and you won’t regret it!
In addition, Katherine enjoys spending her free time with her daughter and family.

Hi, my name is Chad Gardner, TMS Coordinator and certified TMS treater at our Palm Beach Gardens and Fort Lauderdale Locations.
If I am not working you can probably find me traveling, caring for my 3 dogs or spending time with loved ones!
I spent many years in the service industry where I found my love for all people and hearing their stories.
I believe that our mental health is equally as important as our physical health and it is my goal to change the stigma that surrounds mental health, which I believe we are doing here at Success TMS.
