ACUPUNCTURE FOR EMOTIONAL & MENTAL HEALTH

ACUPUNCTURE FOR ANXIETY, STRESS, AND DEPRESSION

Acupuncture and Oriental medicine are holistic forms of medicine. Even if you are being treated for just knee pain, you will notice that in addition to your pain disappearing, you will feel in a really good mood after your treatment. This is because acupuncture addresses everything all at once: your physical pain, your mood, and your spirit.
I believe that the emotional and mental state of an individual, is a large part of any healing process. Whether you are struggling with a serious depression, or just feeling down, acupuncture offers several paths on the road to health to better mental health.

 From “the blues” to a Full Treatment Plan

In my practice, I have worked with many people at both ends of the mental health spectrum. From mild anxiety, to more serious depression that is debillitating. Acupuncture has something to offer to each individual, no matter the severity.

Some people come to me feeling “off”- they are stressed in their family life, work is hectic, and the they are struggling in their daily lives. So they decide to use acupuncture to help manage their stress, take time for themselves, boost their immune system, and regain their equilibrium.

At the other end of the spectrum, I work with patients who have serious depression and anxiety. Some of these patients integrate acupuncture as part of a larger western medical treatment plan. We don’t replace treatments from doctors, instead we work alongside them to give the patient a calmer and happier life by providing holistic care.

So no matter where you fall, we can tailor the acupuncture session to meet your needs, and it is my goal to guide you through these difficult times, with expertise, care and understanding.

Book an Appointment:




Office Address:

100B Danbury Rd, Ridgefield, CT—
Please enter through the door that says: 100B MAIN ENTRANCE, STE 201A

At Your Appointment:

If this is your first visit, I like to take the time to get to know you: your background and health history, as well as your goals for what you want to get out of acupuncture.
You will then lie down on the most comfortable table ever, complete with a heated mattress pad underneath, and then you will have your acupuncture treatment. It will feel like the best nap in the world!

Ideally, it’s best to wear loose clothing, but no worries if you’re coming straight from work.

How Long Does an Appointment Last?

The first appointment is about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Follow up appointments will be around 45/ 50 minutes.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

This will depend upon what we are treating and how long you have had the condition. If it is an acute condition, it might take a few treatments (4-6) to resolve. If it is a chronic condition, it can take longer. For example, if you have suffered from anxiety for many years, we could design a treatment plan for you that would help you over a period of a few weeks.

However, do not despair!
A little patience, and perhaps incorporating other modes of healing; like gentle yoga, dietary changes, or lifestyle changes, you can reach a happier and healthier life with reduced stress, and anxiety.
Acupuncture is cumulative. It builds and heals the body from within over time. Another way to describe it: It activates your body to heal itself. You have an immune system, and other systems to heal your own body. And sometimes you just need a little help in the healing process-
