What to Expect at Your First Visit

Dr. Lim or Dr. Chen will conduct TCM diagnostic techniques including pulse reading and tongue examination to identify underlying imbalances.

We'll explain how each element addresses your specific mental health concerns and set realistic timeline expectations.

Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes with gentle needling techniques specifically designed for stress relief and mental wellness.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can TCM really help with anxiety and depression?
Yes, research and clinical experience show TCM can be highly effective for mental health conditions. Acupuncture helps regulate neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, while herbal medicine addresses underlying imbalances. Many patients use TCM alongside conventional therapy or as a standalone treatment. Studies show acupuncture can reduce anxiety by 50% or more when combined with lifestyle modifications. We work collaboratively with your existing mental health providers if desired.
How long before I see improvements in my sleep or stress levels?
Most patients notice initial improvements within 2-3 weeks of consistent treatment. Better sleep quality is often the first change, followed by reduced anxiety and improved stress resilience by weeks 4-6. Significant, lasting improvements typically develop over 8-12 weeks. Treatment frequency starts at 1-2 sessions weekly, tapering to monthly maintenance as you improve. Individual results vary based on condition severity and lifestyle factors.
What makes your mental health approach different from regular therapy?
TCM addresses mental health through a physical lens—we identify and correct imbalances in your body that manifest as emotional symptoms. While talk therapy works with thoughts and behaviors, TCM uses acupuncture, herbs, and lifestyle changes to regulate your nervous system, improve sleep architecture, and restore emotional balance at a physiological level. Many patients benefit from combining both approaches for comprehensive care.
Are the herbal medicines safe alongside my prescription medications?
Safety is our top priority. During your initial consultation, we review all medications and supplements you're taking to identify any potential interactions. Most TCM herbs can be safely combined with psychiatric medications, but we modify formulas when needed and communicate with your prescribing doctor. Never stop or adjust psychiatric medications without consulting your psychiatrist—TCM is typically complementary to, not a replacement for, prescribed treatments.
Do you offer treatments specifically for burnout and work stress?
Absolutely—work stress and burnout are among our most common treatment focuses. Our stress management program combines acupuncture to calm your nervous system, adaptogenic herbs to improve stress resilience, and practical coaching on work-life boundaries and stress reduction techniques. We also address physical symptoms of burnout like fatigue, insomnia, digestive issues, and tension headaches. Treatment plans are designed to fit busy professional schedules.
Is mental health treatment covered by insurance or Medisave?
Most private health insurance plans cover TCM treatments including for mental health conditions—check your policy details or contact us to verify your specific coverage. Some stress-related conditions qualify for Medisave withdrawal. We provide detailed receipts for all insurance claims and assist with documentation. Our wellness packages also offer cost savings for ongoing mental health care without insurance limitations.
