Services
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatments restore energetic balance by stimulating specific points on the body. This ancient practice addresses chronic pain, digestive issues, emotional disorders, and neurological conditions. Our treatments follow traditional Chinese medicine principles while incorporating modern understanding of anatomy and physiology.
Psychotherapy
Individual and family psychotherapy sessions address anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues. Using evidence-based approaches, we help clients understand thought patterns and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Sessions combine cognitive therapy with somatic awareness for comprehensive mental health support.
Auricular Therapy
This specialized treatment targets points on the ear to address addiction, PTSD, and chronic pain. Particularly effective for substance abuse recovery and stress-related disorders, it stimulates endorphin production to reduce cravings and promote emotional stability through non-invasive techniques.
Medical Hypnoanalysis
Combining clinical hypnosis with psychotherapy, this service addresses subconscious patterns causing anxiety, phobias, and self-esteem issues. Through guided relaxation and suggestion, patients access deeper awareness to resolve root causes of emotional distress and behavioral patterns.
Medical Qi Gong
This non-contact energy therapy balances qi flow to improve physical and emotional well-being. Particularly beneficial for sensitive patients, it addresses subtle energy imbalances that may contribute to chronic conditions through practitioner-guided energy manipulation techniques.
