Meet our team

Dr. David Woo
Founder & Clinical Psychiatrist
Dr. David Woo is the founder and lead psychiatrist at Madison Avenue TMS & Psychiatry in Midtown Manhattan. Board-certified in psychiatry and geriatric psychiatry, he has spent his career helping patients find relief from depression, anxiety, OCD, and other mental health conditions. By offering TMS therapy at his practice, his goal is to offer new hope to patients whose mental health hasn’t improved with medication or psychotherapy. Through tailored, compassionate and evidence-based care, he has helped hundreds of New Yorkers take steps toward healing.


Olivia Tween
Clinical TMS Coordinator & Technician
Olivia acts as our primary liaison between patients, providers, technicians, and insurance companies, managing care teams, helping to resolve issues with billing, and coordinating referrals. In addition, she administers TMS treatments, performs mental status examinations, and assesses treatment progress.
Prior to joining Madison Avenue TMS & Psychiatry, Olivia worked as a residential counselor at Silver Hill Hospital, where she supported people through a four-week residential program focused on Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
“In both roles, I’ve had the privilege of watching patients gradually transform into healthier, more vibrant, and hopeful versions of themselves,” says Olivia. “It is a privilege to guide people through something that can at first feel frightening and uncertain. Doing so alongside a team of technicians who bring skill, compassion, and genuine encouragement to every interaction has been deeply rewarding.
“I am so proud to be part of a practice that puts patient care first and believes in each person’s capacity for change.”
Lana Baroni
TMS Technician
Lana is experienced in both TMS therapy and clinical psychology, completing psychoanalytic training both here in the United States and in Brazil.
“One of my favorite aspects of working as a TMS technician is the opportunity to connect with patients on a personal level, hearing their histories and learning about their trajectories,” says Lana. “It’s rewarding to witness their progress throughout the treatment, often within just a few weeks, and to see the positive changes that TMS can bring to their lives.”


Molly Gilligan
TMS Coordinator & Technician
Molly has been with Madison Avenue TMS & Psychiatry for over two years.
“I feel grateful to be part of the team at Madison Ave TMS & Psychiatry,” says Molly. “It’s a meaningful experience to support patients throughout their treatment, listen to their stories, and build genuine connections along the way. Dr. Woo and my colleagues create a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone who comes through our practice.”
Molly is also currently pursuing a master’s degree in clinical social work. “I feel lucky to be at a workplace that continuously encourages and inspires my growth in the mental health field.”
Outside of work, Molly enjoys creating art, cooking, and spending time outdoors with her dog and friends.
Maria Mount
TMS Technician
Maria has a background in psychiatry, in both clinical and research settings. She has been with us for over a year and during her time here, has led over 1,200 TMS sessions.
“Working directly with so many different patients is one of the most meaningful parts of my position,” says Maria. “I enjoy building rapport and strive to be a helpful part of their TMS treatment. I am also grateful to work with such a dedicated and compassionate team at Madison Ave TMS & Psychiatry!”
Outside of work, Maria enjoys travelling, reading, and exploring NYC — especially trying new restaurants and going to Broadway shows.

Michael Efremov-Kendall
Practice Administrator & TMS Technician
Michael has supported patients at Madison Avenue TMS & Psychiatry for four years, serving as both a Practice Administrator and a certified TMS Technician.

Outside of the office, Michael enjoys camping, cooking, and comedy.
