Acupuncture Treats Anxiety & Stress

Acupuncture and/or Chinese Herbal Medicine can provide an effective solution for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Additionally, acupuncture is typically painless, pleasant, and relaxing.

Lisa has been treating anxiety and stress-related conditions for over 20 years.


Anxiety, Burnout, Fatigue, Insomnia, Lingering Effects of a Covid Infection: I came to Lisa's practice with an array of issues:  anxiety, burnout and fatigue, difficulty with sleep, and some residual lung and other physical effects of a covid infection from several months prior.

Lisa listened to me with openness and warmth; I felt compassionately understood, and that she took the time to get to know me and the context of my presenting issues. Over the course of our acupuncture sessions I felt actively engaged by Lisa, and that she adjusted the treatment in response to my feedback as we went.

After just a handful of sessions I feel significantly better, and incredibly grateful to Lisa for the caring work she has done with me.

Depression, anxiety, stomach trouble: I came to Lisa after desperately seeking help for my son. He was diagnosed with clinical depression after his first semester at MIT. Four semesters later, his depression got worse, resulting in failing grades. On top of everything else, he suffered from frequent acute abdominal pains.

When we first came to see Lisa, she said "YES, I CAN HELP!"

After two weeks—four treatments--- my son was radiant, full of energy and had a renewed desire to continue working hard to succeed at MIT. He followed through with his 3 month course of treatment, with weekly acupuncture sessions. My son just finished his fifth semester with a 3.7 GPA and not one abdominal pain during the entire semester!

Thanks a million Lisa!

Anxiety: If I came to Lisa as an evergreen tree, branches bound down with snow, vulnerable to snapping under the weight, Lisa shook the branches, freed them of snow. Make no mistake, there’s still wind. Sometimes a lot of wind. But the branches are limber.

Grief, emotions: Lisa was highly recommended by a friend, and I came during a particularly trying moment in my life. With her help, I moved through the nadir of grief and out of an unhealthy emotional circuit. She was instrumental in helping me embrace this new phase of life exactly where I belong.

I honestly believe that Lisa is so much more than an acupuncturist. Anyone who his lucky enough to see her—and are themselves open to change—will absolutely be transformed for the better. Thank you so much Lisa!

Clinical Depression: For over four and one half years, I have been in treatment for clinical depression--- employing both psychology and medication. They worked well for a while but I never really, truly felt like myself. It was symptomatic treatment and not without significant side effects.

I went to the see Lisa on the recommendation of my wife, a previous patient, when it became clear my Western treatments were no longer working.

I had low expectations---- but with treatment, I began to feel better and better than I had in years. The depression was lifted but more importantly, I felt back to myself, at ease and with no side effects. What is most impressive is that all of this healing occurred despite increased stresses at work and at home.

My traditional Western practice Doctors are amazed. My quality of life has improved beyond measure.

Highly recommend!

Anxiety: Lisa is an exceptional acupuncturist. Since my treatments with Lisa, I have found that I’m no longer held back by the health issues that used to effect me daily. I am deeply grateful to her for her commitment to me living and realizing my every dream.
