Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese technique that harnesses your body’s self-healing capabilities and natural bodily function through stimulating specific points. Acupuncture promotes the flow of energy along meridians throughout the body, releasing “Qi” and balancing both yin and yang. When all these forces are balanced, the body is healthy. However, when these channels are blocked and out of balance; pain, lack of function or illness may occur. Through stimulating the body’s various systems, Acupuncture can restore proper function and act as a form of preventative medicine for a healthier, happier future.

A psychotherapist is a trained mental health professional who specializes in providing therapeutic support and treatment for individuals experiencing psychological and emotional difficulties. They work closely with clients to help them understand their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and to develop healthier coping mechanisms and strategies for managing their challenges.

Psychotherapists employ various therapeutic approaches and techniques based on their training, experience, and the needs of their clients. They create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can openly express their concerns and explore their inner world. By establishing a strong therapeutic alliance, psychotherapists foster trust and encourage clients to delve into their experiences, beliefs, and past traumas.

One of the key roles of a psychotherapist is to listen actively and attentively to their clients. They seek to understand their clients' perspectives and gain insights into their thought patterns and emotional responses. Through this empathetic understanding, psychotherapists help clients gain clarity about their challenges and develop alternative perspectives and solutions.

Psychotherapists use evidence-based interventions and treatment modalities to address a wide range of mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship problems, and more. They may utilize cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, or other specialized therapies depending on the client's needs and the therapist's expertise.

In addition to conducting individual therapy sessions, psychotherapists may also facilitate group therapy, family therapy, or couples therapy. They may collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as psychiatrists or social workers, to ensure comprehensive and integrated care for their clients.

Overall, a psychotherapist is a compassionate professional who supports individuals in their journey toward emotional healing, personal growth, and improved mental well-being. By providing guidance, validation, and evidence-based interventions, they empower their clients to make positive changes, enhance their self-awareness, and lead more fulfilling lives.

Ehsan has had a passion for his craft since childhood. Being born in Southwestern Asia, in Iran, Ehsan was raised in a family that taught him how to heal with natural remedies, which later sparked his love of holistic healing. In his early life, Ehsan began expanding his knowledge in freelance practices with guiding principles of natural healing and self-care at local gyms. By his 20’s, he began working with athletes. Through hard work, inspiration from his own Indigenous traditions, and motivation to help others, Ehsan watched as his clients improved gradually because of his insights.

Today, Ehsan is a student at Eight Branches College, where he is studying to become a Registered Acupuncturist, while working as a full-time RMT.
