Restore the balance between mind and body.

Why Our Patients Come to Us

Women face unique and complex challenges when it comes to mental health. Hormonal fluctuations related to menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause can contribute to conditions like anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Women are also more likely than men to experience certain mental health conditions including generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and eating disorders. Unfortunately, when it comes to women’s mental health, our conventional health system can be bogged down by misdiagnosis, stigmatization, and limited access to care.

How We Help

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approaches mental health by treating the mind and body as interconnected. Rather than targeting symptoms alone, TCM seeks to restore balance in the body’s energy (Qi) and organ systems, which are believed to influence emotional well-being. Techniques like acupuncture, herbal medicine, and lifestyle adjustments help regulate the nervous system, improve sleep, reduce stress, and ease conditions such as anxiety, depression, and emotional fatigue.

Today, according to the National University of Health Sciences, more and more psychiatrists are recommending acupuncture as an effective treatment for a wide variety of mental health conditions, citing the lack of side-effects, ability to treat pain and mental health at the same time, and the potential for immediate results.
