Dr. William Nathan Upshaw is the Medical Director of NeuroSpa TMS. Since receiving training from the inventor of TMS Therapy nearly a decade ago, Dr. Upshaw has been a pioneer, champion, and outspoken advocate of TMS Therapy. Dr. Upshaw’s holistic experience in the field has transformed him into Florida’s leading advocate for widespread accessibility to TMS Therapy. Dr. Upshaw began his medical training at the University of Florida and Tulane University School of Medicine. After attaining his doctorate at Tulane, Upshaw continued on to the University of South Florida School of Medicine, where he completed his internship and residency in Psychiatry. While at the University of South Florida, Dr. Upshaw, under the stewardship of a forward-thinking chairman, received training to practice TMS shortly after being FDA-cleared in 2008. The department’s progressive approach eventually led to the university obtaining two of the first TMS chairs in the entire state of Florida.

Dr. Upshaw is a highly-awarded faculty member at the University of South Florida, giving him the tools, experience, and expertise to better educate the public on the groundbreaking science behind TMS Therapy. Awards received during his tenure thus far at the University of South Florida include the Resident Teaching Award, Faculty Teacher of the Year, and PGY-4 Faculty Teacher of the Year by the USF Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neurosciences.

Ever since his first encounter with a TMS chair back in 2010, Dr. Upshaw was not only inspired by its remarkable potential but insatiably determined to provide this breakthrough therapy to as many people as possible. Between 2007 and 2010, Dr. Upshaw received advanced training in psychodynamic psychotherapy at the Tampa Bay Institute for Psychodynamic Studies and received official certification in TMS and ECT Therapy at the MUSC Health Institute of Psychiatry.
