Anxiety is the most common mental health issue. One in four Canadians experiences at least one anxiety disorder in their lifetime.  Anxiety can manifest in different disorders such as GAD (generalized anxiety disorder), social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD, etc.  Anxiety symptoms are not only in your thoughts, feelings, but also manifest in your body such as nausea, heart palpitation, dizziness, digestive problems, sleeping problems etc. We use mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and acupuncture to treat your anxiety in a body-mind integrated approach.

Depression as a symptom can occur in many different conditions such as major depressive disorder, bi-polar disorder, Seasonal Affective disorder, post-partum depression, and addiction issues. You may also experience it when you go through a significant life event like the loss of a loved one.  For people who experience depression, they often experience physical symptoms such as digestive problems, sleep problems, and chronic pain. We use mindfulness, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) and acupuncture to treat your depression in a body-mind integrated approach.

After you experience traumatic events such as crimes, natural disasters, accidents, war or conflict, or other threats to life — or after you witness your loved ones experiencing these events — you may develop symptoms such as flashbacks, feeling edgy and unsafe, difficulty concentrating, or feeling numb and detached. You may also experience problems with sleeping and eating.  We can help you to feel grounded, to relax, and to start healing.

Addiction to alcohol and drugs seriously affect one’s physical and mental health. At Turning Point we help people in recovery to work on both their physical and mental aspects. We support you to heal the deep issues such as shame, and to have a loving relationship with yourself instead of a unhealthy relationship with substances or behaviours.

This is an extreme form of  anxiety,  characterized by sudden periods of intense fear that may include palpitations,sweating, shaking, shortness of breath, numbness, or a feeling that something terrible is going to happen.You may develop the fear of your panic attacks and try to avoid it, as a result, find your life getting smaller.  We can help you to be free from the grip of your panic attacks.

Past accident, assault, abuse, or other significant traumatic events can leave serious impact on your mind and body, affecting your life today in various ways. Our integrated treatments with acupuncture and counselling can help to heal the old wounds so that you can move on with your valued life despite your past trauma.
