Afraid of needles?

Many people find that once they experience acupuncture, the experience is nothing like having an injection or being needled for the purposes of giving blood. However, for sensitive cases, including small children, there is no need to use needles in a treatment. Other tools can be used to activate the meridians and stimulate the acupressure points without penetrating the skin, while achieving the same benefits.

Psychotherapy can provide clients with the tools to establish healthy boundaries, establish self-care practices, & navigate the many challenges (big or small) that arise in everyday life. Psychotherapists often support people through significant life transitions such as marriage, parenthood, divorce, & career evolution.
