- Are you having difficulty calming your nervous system and relaxing your mind? (Acupuncture works on the sympathetic nervous system. Patients leave sessions feeling calm, content and relaxed)
- Are you experiencing pain? This may or may not be related to your fluctuating emotions. (Acupuncture is known for relieving pain. Stress, anxiety, depression, excessive worrying and irritability very often expresses itself as headaches, stomach pain (IBS), fibromyalgia, neck, shoulder or upper back pain)
- Are you having trouble sleeping?
- Are you reluctant to try pharmaceuticals and would prefer to try a natural approach first?
If you are also receiving therapy. You are encourage to continue your counseling sessions.

Ideally, clients should receive their acupuncture treatment after a therapy session (within 1-2 days).
