Anxiety that never shuts off. Depression that makes every task feel like climbing a mountain. Mood swings that make you feel like you’re living on an emotional rollercoaster you can’t control. You’ve tried medications, but the side effects weigh you down or they’ve stopped working altogether. At Advanced Holistic Center, we help you reclaim emotional stability and peace of mind with targeted acupuncture for mood disorders, a natural approach that balances your body’s systems, calms the mind, and promotes lasting emotional well-being.
New York’s premier destination for mood disorder acupuncture therapy offers hope for those struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or stress-related emotional imbalances. Our practitioners understand that mood disorders don’t just affect the mind, they disrupt work, relationships, sleep, and your sense of self.
Mood disorders arise from a complex interplay of neurotransmitter imbalances, nervous system dysregulation, hormonal fluctuations, and chronic stress. Conventional treatments often target symptoms with medication, but they may not address underlying patterns contributing to emotional instability.
Acupuncture for mood disorders works by regulating the autonomic nervous system, calming overactive stress responses, and balancing neurotransmitter activity naturally. Gentle stimulation at precise points triggers the release of serotonin, dopamine, and endorphins while reducing cortisol, the stress hormone that fuels anxiety and irritability.
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, mood disorders often stem from imbalances in the liver, heart, or spleen meridians. By restoring the smooth flow of qi (energy) and blood, acupuncture resolves stagnation that can manifest as mood swings, irritability, or depressive states. This approach treats both the root causes and immediate symptoms, offering deep and lasting relief without dependency on medication.
Extensive research supports acupuncture’s effectiveness for mood disorders. A study found that acupuncture significantly reduced symptoms of depression, both as a stand-alone treatment and in combination with medication, with fewer side effects than pharmaceuticals.
Harvard Medical School researchers documented changes in brain activity on fMRI scans following acupuncture, noting increased activation in regions associated with emotional regulation and reduced hyperactivity in stress-related neural pathways.
Studies from the University of York found acupuncture reduced anxiety symptoms by 40% and improved overall quality of life scores in patients with generalized anxiety disorder, with effects lasting several months after treatment completion.
Since 2004, we’ve helped thousands of patients overcome mood disorders, from chronic depression to high-functioning anxiety, using acupuncture and integrative therapies that restore mental and physical balance.
We work alongside mental health professionals, primary care physicians, and holistic therapists to ensure a coordinated care plan that supports both your emotional health and physical well-being.
Our Financial District and Brooklyn clinics are easily accessible by public transportation, with extended hours to accommodate busy schedules and same-day appointments for urgent needs.
We understand that when your mental health is at stake, ease of access matters. We accept most commercial insurance plans and handle claims on your behalf, so you can focus on feeling better not paperwork.
Your first visit includes a detailed discussion of your emotional health history, lifestyle factors, and physical symptoms. We assess whether liver qi stagnation, heart yin deficiency, or spleen qi deficiency is contributing to your condition. Pulse and tongue diagnosis, along with stress pattern evaluation, help us create a customized treatment plan.
We select acupuncture points based on both modern neuroscience and TCM principles. Points like Yintang and Shenmen calm the mind, while liver and spleen points restore emotional balance. Electroacupuncture may be used for stubborn symptoms, enhancing nervous system regulation and neurochemical release.
We may incorporate cupping therapy to release tension in the neck and shoulders (common in anxiety), moxibustion to strengthen the body for depression linked to fatigue, and Chinese herbal formulas to nourish the heart and calm the spirit. Mind-body practices such as qigong or gentle breathing techniques can further support emotional stability between sessions.
Your initial 90-minute appointment includes a comprehensive intake, stress level assessment, and discussion of your mental health goals. Treatments are performed in a calming environment, with gentle needling designed to produce deep relaxation. Many patients feel a sense of peace or emotional release during their first session.
For acute symptoms, we typically recommend 1–2 sessions per week for the first month, followed by a gradual taper as symptoms improve. Many patients begin noticing improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better sleep within 2–3 weeks.
How many acupuncture sessions are needed for mood disorders?
Most patients benefit from 8–12 sessions over 6–8 weeks, with maintenance treatments as needed.
How soon will I notice results?
Some people experience a sense of calm immediately; others notice gradual improvements over several sessions.
Does insurance cover acupuncture for mood disorders?
Yes, we accept most commercial insurance plans and submit claims on your behalf.
Is acupuncture for mood disorders painful?
No, treatments use ultra-thin needles and are generally relaxing.
Can acupuncture replace my medication?
We work in coordination with your prescribing provider to ensure safe, supportive care. Some patients may reduce medication under medical supervision.
What’s the cost if I don’t have insurance?
We offer transparent pricing and package options for uninsured patients.
Don’t let anxiety, depression, or mood swings dictate your life. Acupuncture offers a safe, drug-free path to emotional stability and lasting well-being. Our proven protocols have helped countless New Yorkers reclaim joy, focus, and peace of mind.

Can’t say enough. My husband and I have seen instant improvement in our health. The staff are nothing shy of INCREDIBLE. You don’t feel like just another number – they are warm and caring. Highly recommend to make this place a part of your self care regimen!!!!! Thank you healers!!!!
Dr. Logman is quite incredible! I’m an individual who is very active and likes to push physical boundaries in training … Coming from Long Island, I was certainly pretty jacked up physically, but within one session, I felt significantly better… She’s 1000% worth seeing regardless of your location. Thank you for actually being the healers we need!
I was in such great hands with BK. As a lifelong sufferer of mental illness, acupuncture made me feel like a million bucks. Just so you know, you need more than 1 visit to recover from whatever ailments. Now that I’ve had 5, I feel like a whole new person. So glad this place exists! Your health is your wealth, after all. I’ll be back for more!
Dr. Logman and her entire staff are all super nice and knowledgeable. I have been experiencing on and off back spasms for a really long time and feel like I may finally be in inching towards healing my lower back! Every session so far has left me feeling better and more relaxed.
The whole staff are friendly and helpful and have created a calm environment with great healing energy. BK, my acupuncturist, is a great listener and in addition to always making me feel great with his work offers helpful suggestions and exercises to work on between sessions.
Dr. Orna was absolutely fabulous! The whole team was welcoming and professional. They walked me through my problem areas and catered an amazing personalized experience based on my needs. I will definitely be back!
My favorite acupuncture practitioners work here. Definitely book Orna, BK and Rimma. (And Irinia, of course, when she’s in NYC) They’re excellent at treating chronic joint pain, mental/ addiction issues and neuropathy. But also go if you need an immune system boost, detox after drinking or have low energy levels. This is also the place to go, if like me, you’re jumpy with needles. They’re very skilled at making it a painless experience
The Adv. Holistic Center is incredible and really changed my life here in the city. Highly recommend for anyone experiencing physical pain, emotional regulation needs, overall wellness and wellbeing or anything in between including pilates and physical therapy needs. Yhenni who works at the desk, is so kind and helpful and always welcoming. She is quick to help you with any scheduling needs or questions. She is very knowledgeable about all things advanced holistic center! I am lucky to have received treatment from Dr Irina, who travels back and forth to her offices here in the city and in Miami, while she was here. I have received treatment here for my chronic migraines, TMJ pain, and emotional regulation, and Pilates work. I’m so grateful to have worked with Dr. Irina who is an incredible practitioner and Pilates instructor. Every experience with her was incredibly healing and treated with the utmost care. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived. The power of acupuncture and eastern medicine to help your body heal itself, is quite magical. The reformer pilates work is equally amazing- I left feeling 6 inches taller and stronger. In 3 days, my TMJ pain was fixed, and migraines decreased. I even received a comprehensive list of foods that will help and hinder my migraines so I am able to implement change in my daily life to see improvements from the root of the problem! My chronic migraines have decreased for the first time in 10+ years with NO PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION! I can without a doubt say this practice has contributed for the betterment of my overall quality of life and care for myself. All thanks to the amazing work of Dr Irina and her staff at the Advanced Holistic Centers. I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful, healing space! I recommend this space to my family and friends both in Florida, and the city.
Love this practice! I’ve been receiving treatments since June at the NYC locations and have worked with Rimma, Gary, and even Irina herself. Thanks so much for such gentle and loving care. I really have been trying to give my belly, uterus, ovaries, and overall body some love throughout the day, minding my breathing and really focusing on the tools each practitioner has given me. I loved our session on monday so much, thank you for that time. One of the very best acupuncture snoozes I’ve ever had!
I’ve been coming here for quite some time now and I must say, from the admin to the doctors, everyone is amazing. Either Anna or Yhenni will greet you with a smile and take care of all your admin needs. I have never received a treatment that I didn’t like. This is why I continue to go back. Today, Orna treated me and she was absolutely amazing. She goes above and beyond and is always spot on with treatments.
Beautiful clinic and amazing providers. Im a physical therapist and used my body a lot for work, often resulting in low back pain and shoulder/neck pain. I always come to see Orna for great trigger point acupuncture. She’s also helped me with gastro and sleep issues. Highly recommend
Honestly she has the golden touch. My lower back was killing me could barely stand straight. Even sneezing would hurt. But Just after 1 session I felt alive again. Would highly recommend anyone who has lower back pain or any pain.
Outstanding and proffessional clinic. From the service and approach of the customer coordinatour through the Most . proffessional and sensitive doctor I went in with stressed muscles hardly able to move my leg and came out walking almost as usual after only 2 visits Highly reccomend
Suffering from back and neck pain, I finally decided to see Dr. Irina Logman. I can’t believe the immediate pain relief after only 1 session of acupuncture and manual therapy. Not only did the pain go away, I felt revitalized. I will definitely continue treatments with Dr. Logman. I highly recommend the Advanced Holistic Center for all your holistic care needs. I highly recommend seeing Orna! She will make your body melt.
This place miraculous!! I am so grateful and happy that have found this clinic. I’ve been in so much pain and illness with my digestive issues since moving to the United States in 2019. I’ve gone through three gastroenterologists who while experts, only treated symptoms of what has become a chronic problem with over medication and poor diet (there’s something about American food and ingredients that mess up my digestion). Rimma has been treating me since I’ve signed up for acupuncture. She’s a professional but also very caring and warm. She’s done amazing work with my digestive system, muscle pain, and migraine complimenting acupuncture with cupping and gua sha. She’s also treated me when I had colds and also my occasional muscle pain from exercising. Dr. Irina treated me in one session where she used electrolysis which resulted to the best releasing cleanse I’ve had in a very long time. I look forward to my biweekly sessions especially on Sundays as it’s my self-care day. I feel healed but I’m still in my journey towards become holistically healthy. I can’t thank this place enough.
