Real Relief for Anxiety and Depression
For the racing mind at 2am and the heaviness that won't lift.
Nearly 1 in 5 adults suffer from anxiety in a given year, and many suffer from depression alongside it. Sound familiar?
- Lying awake, running through everything that could go wrong
- Replaying conversations for days, wondering what you should've said
- Snapping at people you love, then feeling terrible about it after
- Zoning out at work because your brain won't slow down
- Skipping plans because even leaving the house feels like too much
- Feeling flat about things that used to make you happy
Acupuncture is shown to calm an overactive nervous system. Research links acupuncture to real relief for both anxious and low, heavy feelings.

FAQ
Find the most frequently asked questions below.
-
Yes. The largest review to date found a several-week course of acupuncture linked to meaningful anxiety relief, and a Cochrane review (the most rigorous type of research review that exists) found acupuncture pointed toward benefit for depression across every comparison tested, including as an add-on to antidepressants.
-
Acupuncture calms an overactive amygdala, your brain's built-in alarm system. A 2022 review found acupuncture meaningfully increased markers of your nervous system's calmer “rest and digest” mode.
-
Researchers believe acupuncture works through similar nervous-system pathways as it does for anxiety, shifting the body toward a calmer state. Research found a consistent, favorable impact on depression across every way acupuncture has been tested — alone, alongside medication, and as an add-on to it.
-
WTHN can't recommend any changes to your medical protocol, so please don't stop or change anything your doctor, therapist, or prescriber has you on without talking to them first. Acupuncture is designed to work alongside your existing care, not instead of it.
-
Many clients feel noticeably calmer after their very first session. Real, lasting change tends to build over a consistent course, though — most research points to roughly 4 to 8 weeks, depending on what you're working through.
-
Most clients are surprised by how little they feel. Acupuncture needles are hair-thin, nothing like the needles used for shots or blood draws, and many people find sessions genuinely relaxing.
-
WTHN treatments are FSA/HSA eligible, so you can use pre-tax dollars toward sessions if your plan allows it. We also provide insurance superbills after each visit, which you can submit directly to your provider for possible reimbursement.
