The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the effectiveness of CoPs therapy with or without the therapeutic component of biofeedback in treating tics in Tourette Syndrome with emerging young adults. Hypotheses: 1. The CoPs+Biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics (YGTSS) and the Clinical Global Impression, surpassing the clinical significance threshold of CoPs treatment alone. 2. We expect that the identified variables (psychosocial, neurocognitive, biological) will predict the improvement of tics. Researchers will compare if the biofeedback treatment will improve the severity of tics. * In the pre-test, participants will undergo two interviews, each lasting 3 hours. These interviews will assess (through a battery of tests) the severity of tics as well as the psychosocial, biological, and neurocognitive aspects of functioning. A general assessment of intelligence and executive functions will also be conducted. * They will next attend 10 to 12 therapy sessions, with or without biofeedback. (The biofeedback component is explained in more detail in the ''Study Design'' section). * The post-test follow-ups consist of two evaluations: one 3 months after the end of the treatment and the other 6 months after. The evaluation will be done using the same battery of tests as during the pre-test interview.

The primary aim of this study is to learn more about premonitory urges (PU) when using Habit Reversal Training (HRT) to treat tics. The main focus of this study is to investigate if and when PU change during tic treatment sessions and between tic treatment sessions. Participants will: * Attend 5 study visits (approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each) for an intake, habit reversal training for 3 separate tics, and a post assessment * Attend 5 practice sessions (approximately 30 minutes each) over a week for 3 weeks (total 15 practice sessions) * Study visits and practice sessions will take place in person and online via secure videoconference

Chronic tics are a disabling neuropsychiatric symptom associated with multiple child-onset mental disorders. Chronic tics affect 1-3% of youth 1 and are associated with impaired functioning, emotional and behavioral problems, physical pain, diminished quality of life, peer victimization, and a fourfold increased risk of suicide compared to the general population. Large randomized trials have demonstrated the superiority of CBIT over supportive therapy in child and adult patients. However, in these trials, only 52% of children and 38% of adults showed clinically meaningful tic improvement, meaning that 50-60% of patients do not benefit from CBIT. CBIT success relies on an ability to suppress tics that many youth lack. The central aim of CBIT is to enhance voluntary tic suppression. Better tic suppression ability drives CBIT improvement 10 and predicts lower tic burden over the course of illness. During the core CBIT procedure, competing response training, patients learn to inhibit tics by engaging in a competing motor action. However, research shows that many youth lack this fundamental tic suppression ability that CBIT aspires to enhance. This study will examine the clinical and neural effects of a treatment combining Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the supplementary motor area (SMA) in young people with tic disorder.

This research study is being done to compare a mindfulness-based intervention for tics (MBIT) to psychoeducation with relaxation and supportive therapy (PRST) for individuals with Tourette's syndrome or Persistent Tic Disorders (collectively TS). It is the investigator's hope that this information cam be used to improve current treatments for individuals with TS.
