Acupuncture for Mental Health

Acupuncture is a powerful therapeutic tool for supporting mental and emotional well-being. By stimulating specific points on the body, acupuncture helps regulate the nervous system, promote the release of endorphins, and reduce stress hormones like cortisol. This natural rebalancing can create a calming effect on the body and mind, making it an effective complement to other mental health therapies.

At Deneen Natural Health, we frequently support patients experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and chronic stress. Whether symptoms are tied to major life transitions, burnout, or long-standing mental health conditions, acupuncture can help restore balance, ease emotional tension, and promote better sleep and mood regulation. We often see improvements in clarity, resilience, and overall emotional stability after just a few sessions.

In addition to acupuncture, we offer personalized herbal medicine and nutritional support to enhance mental wellness. Our holistic approach is gentle and supportive, designed to meet each patient where they are and empower them on their healing journey. Whether you’re seeking relief from daily stress or deeper emotional healing, our care team offers a compassionate, natural path to emotional well-being.

I have been seeing Dr. Deneen for several medical/health concerns since July of 2017-about 5 months. I am 65 years old and have a number of orthopedic problems, some issues with my digestive system, some issues with the health of my uterus, allergies and insomnia. Dr. Deneen has been very helpful with recommendations for supplements and natural antibiotic preparations, herbal drops which are refreshing and aid in mental clarity ,and other natural preparations to help with specific problems. They are often less expensive than the ones sold in Sprouts or Whole Foods and do appear to help. Since my first visit for acupuncture I have lost 10 pounds without effort, have switched to healthier eating habits, again without effort , and feel more focused and better organized. Since I am still working this is even more of a benefit. I had not tried acupuncture ever before but felt that I was at a point in my life where I needed to add a regular therapeutic modality. I already exercised regularly, received massages for muscle pain and soreness. But the acupuncture has been truly wonderful. It is absolutely relaxing. I generally fall asleep and have been more alert, more able to work a bit at home after work-something that I was having trouble with before. I am in a better mood and want to eat healthier food and find it easy to do so and to moderate my appetite. The problems with my uterine and digestive health are much better. Now I have embarked upon the acupuncture ” cosmetic face lift”. I am about halfway done with the 10 sessions. Small lines above my upper lip are disappearing, my forehead is less etched by deep lines. These things are still visible but much less drastic. My chin and neck look much better as well. I am quite pleased and think it worth the cost. Dr. Deneen is very skilled and careful and it does not hurt and leaves almost no bruising and I have always bruised easily.

Also I want to add that Dr. Deneen is a lovely person. She listens carefully, addresses the issues that are important to you and never appears to be in a hurry and is always on time. She is very knowledgeable and skilled. I highly recommend her.
