Integrative Healing Through Traditional
Chinese Medicine
At Home-LA, Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture are part of our broader, integrative approach to mental health care.
This work offers a body-based entry point into healing — supporting the release of tension, stress, and emotional patterns that may be difficult to access through talk therapy alone.
Rather than treating symptoms in isolation, we look at how experiences are held in the body over time — and how supporting the body can create meaningful shifts in both emotional and physical wellbeing.
The Mind–Body Connection
We often think of mental health as something that lives in the mind — but much of our experience is held physically.
Stress, trauma, and prolonged emotional strain can show up as:
- chronic tension
- fatigue
- digestive or hormonal imbalance
- nervous sysytem dysregulstion
- a sense of feeling “stuck” or dysregulated
This work engages the body directly — helping to restore flow, support regulation, and create space for processing that may not happen through insight alone.
Our Approach
Our Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner is deeply attuned to how each individual holds stress, emotion, and energy in the body.
Sessions are intuitive, grounded, and highly individualized — blending traditional techniques with a modern understanding of trauma and nervous system function.
Depending on your needs, this may include:
- Acupuncture or acupressure
- Tui Na (therapeutic bodywork)
- Cupping or Gua Sha
- Movement-based practices such as Qigong
- Gentle, hands-on techniques to support regulation and release
Some sessions are more restorative and quiet, while others are more active and engaged — always guided by what feels most supportive for you.
What This Work Can Support
This approach may be helpful for:
Integration With Your Care
This work is not separate from your care — it’s part of it.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is often integrated alongside:
- Psychotherapy
- Psychiatry and medication management
- Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy
By working with both the mind and the body, we’re able to support change on multiple levels — not just insight, but lived, physical experience.
For some, this becomes an important part of preparing for or integrating deeper therapeutic work.
A More Integrated Path
Not all healing happens through talking.
For many people, meaningful change begins when the body is included in the process — when patterns can be felt, understood, and released in a different way.
This work offers another entry point into that process, within a setting that is safe, thoughtful, and clinically supported.
