We understand that teens aren’t always open to suggestions from parents—and that healing is most effective when it begins with their own curiosity. We encourage teens to come in when they feel even a small spark of interest in trying something new—not because they’re being told to.

This is not like a doctor’s appointment; it’s an invitation to explore how their body, mind, and emotions are all connected. 

One of the most important things we do is help teens get out of their head and into their body. When a teen is constantly in a mental loop of overthinking, worry, or stress, their nervous system is often in a state of fight-or-flight. Our therapies bring them back to a felt sense of safety and rest. Being in the body—through acupuncture, energy work, or gentle body-based practices—allows the nervous system to regulate, restoring calm, clarity, and groundedness.
