Stress, Anxiety, and Mental Health
Many people seek acupuncture to help them relax and rest. It may help support sleep and a sense of calm during stressful stretches. Dr. Yen offers it alongside, not in place of, care from your physician or mental-health professional.
Acupuncture is not crisis care. If you are in crisis or thinking about harming yourself, call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or call 911.
Concerns people often bring
- • Everyday stress and tension
- • Worry that is hard to switch off
- • Difficulty sleeping
- • Burnout and overwhelm
- • Wanting calming mind-body practices
