Your mind won’t stop racing, your shoulders feel like they’re carrying a hundred pounds, and you can’t remember the last time you truly felt relaxed. Stress doesn’t just weigh on your mood, it disrupts your sleep, strains your relationships, and takes a toll on your physical health. At Advanced Holistic Center, we help you reset both body and mind with acupuncture treatments that ease tension, balance your nervous system, and bring lasting calm.
As New York’s premier destination for stress acupuncture therapy, we have helped countless patients, from high-pressure professionals to parents balancing busy households, find relief and reclaim their sense of peace.
Chronic stress activates the body’s “fight or flight” response, keeping cortisol and adrenaline levels high. Over time, this can cause headaches, muscle tension, digestive problems, and trouble sleeping. Standard coping methods like caffeine, alcohol, or quick breaks often only mask the problem.
Acupuncture works by regulating the nervous system, lowering stress hormones, and increasing endorphins and serotonin, which promote relaxation and improve mood. Treatments also improve blood flow, release muscle tension, and help restore a balanced mind-body connection.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, stress is often linked to liver qi stagnation, heart fire, or imbalances in the spleen system. By restoring the smooth flow of energy, acupuncture helps the body return to a calm, balanced state.
A review published in Medical Acupuncture found that acupuncture significantly reduced stress and anxiety symptoms while improving resilience and emotional regulation.
Harvard Medical School research has shown that acupuncture influences the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, reducing the body’s physiological stress response.
Studies from the University of California also demonstrate that acupuncture lowers heart rate variability associated with chronic stress and improves sleep quality in stressed individuals.
Since 2004, we have successfully treated thousands of patients experiencing stress, burnout, and related health concerns. Our practitioners are trained in both modern stress-reduction techniques and traditional acupuncture methods.
We collaborate with mental health professionals, primary care doctors, and wellness coaches to create a complete support system for your stress management journey.
Our Brooklyn and Financial District clinics are easily accessible and offer flexible scheduling, including evening and weekend hours.
We accept most commercial insurance plans and handle the claims process for you, making treatment easy to access without added stress.
Your consultation includes an in-depth discussion about your stress triggers, physical symptoms, and lifestyle. We assess how stress is affecting your body systems and identify patterns that need to be addressed for lasting relief.
We select acupuncture points that calm the mind, relax tense muscles, and restore balance to the nervous system. For patients with physical symptoms of stress, such as headaches or digestive upset, additional points address those issues directly.
To enhance results, we may recommend cupping therapy to release tightness in the back and shoulders, herbal formulas to soothe the nervous system, and gentle qigong or breathing exercises to help maintain calm between treatments.
Your first appointment is 90 minutes and includes a comprehensive consultation, stress assessment, and initial acupuncture session. You will be comfortably positioned in a quiet, calming environment to encourage deep relaxation during treatment.
Many patients feel lighter and more at ease after just one session. For chronic stress, we may recommend one to two sessions per week initially, followed by maintenance treatments as needed.
How many acupuncture sessions are needed for stress?
Most patients notice improvement within 6 to 8 sessions, though ongoing maintenance can help prevent symptoms from returning.
How quickly will I feel results?
Some feel calmer after the first visit, while others experience gradual changes over several sessions.
Does insurance cover acupuncture for stress?
Yes, we accept most commercial insurance and submit claims on your behalf.
Is acupuncture for stress painful?
No, treatments are gentle and many patients find them deeply relaxing.
Can acupuncture help with physical symptoms caused by stress?
Yes, it can address headaches, muscle tension, digestive upset, and other stress-related symptoms.
What if I do not have insurance?
We offer clear pricing and affordable treatment packages.
You do not have to live in a constant state of tension. Acupuncture offers a natural, effective way to calm your mind, relax your body, and restore balance to your life.
Schedule your consultation today and see how acupuncture for stress can help you feel more centered, focused, and at peace.

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.
