Mental Health

Tending to mental health is just as important as tending to physical health. And that the two are interrelated makes it that much more important. Using a holistic, collaborative, creative, and client-centered approach, our providers offer a unique experience in therapy. Sessions can include and be a blend of evidence-based trauma and mind-body techniques, mindfulness, and expressive arts - in a... Read More

Tending to mental health is just as important as tending to physical health. And that the two are interrelated makes it that much more important. Using a holistic, collaborative, creative, and client-centered approach, our providers offer a unique experience in therapy. Sessions can include and be a blend of evidence-based trauma and mind-body techniques, mindfulness, and expressive arts - in addition to talk therapy.

Our team of trauma-informed therapists are all trained in EMDR therapy. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is considered by trauma experts, including the U.S. Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense and the American Psychological Association, to be a front line treatment for PTSD. It is a type of therapy that can help people heal from overwhelming life events that contribute to chronic stress, which can lead to emotional and physical health issues. Therapy begins working immediately and can reduce trauma symptoms in as quick as a few sessions.

Our therapist team also has a unique passion for supporting clients living with chronic pain and medical illnesses. Somatic therapies and EMDR are effective in releasing medical trauma as well as shifting the physical and emotional impact that chronic pain and illness have on a person’s daily life.

Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Traditional eastern medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat people holistically, often addressing several (seemingly unrelated) symptoms at once to propel them forward into a healthier future, free from pain and prescriptions. Acupuncture stimulates specific anatomical points in the body in order to clear energy (qi) blockages that can cause pain and illness. Such obstructions... Read More

Traditional eastern medicine has been used for thousands of years to treat people holistically, often addressing several (seemingly unrelated) symptoms at once to propel them forward into a healthier future, free from pain and prescriptions.

Acupuncture stimulates specific anatomical points in the body in order to clear energy (qi) blockages that can cause pain and illness. Such obstructions accrue through the course of daily life as a result of injury, emotional imbalance, poor diet, invasive surgery, inactivity, lack of rest, and chronic disease. By removing qi obstructions, increasing circulation, and reducing pain, acupuncture stimulates the body’s own innate healing mechanisms.

Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic medicine is an approach to healthcare that encourages self healing by removing obstacles to cure and facilitate the body’s ability to recover. It focuses on identifying the underlying cause of illness and addresses an individual on an emotional, physical, and mental level. Naturopathic doctors use a combination of herbal medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, therapeutic nutrition, co... Read More

Naturopathic medicine is an approach to healthcare that encourages self healing by removing obstacles to cure and facilitate the body’s ability to recover. It focuses on identifying the underlying cause of illness and addresses an individual on an emotional, physical, and mental level. Naturopathic doctors use a combination of herbal medicine, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, therapeutic nutrition, counseling, and physical medicine combined with allopathic therapies to allow for integrative care.

Naturopathic medicine combines traditional healing methods with modern day science. Naturopathic doctors emphasize disease prevention, treatment, and promote optimal health. By working cohesively with clients, genetic, environmental, and social factors are addressed, in addition to physical concerns in order to create personalized treatments.

Annie Hsu

Annie was born in Taipei and grew up in Texas with almost every summer spent back in Taiwan, learning and experiencing her ancestral culture and language. Even in America, she was constantly pulled back to the nourishing remedies of Chinese Medicine throughout her upbringing. With a nutrition degree from the University of Texas at Austin, and a Master in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, she has kept a constant connection with her alma mater, Oregon College of Oriental Medicine, serving as a Teaching Assistant for many foundational and advanced classes. During an immensely educational and influential internship at the Legacy Good Samaritan Medical Center’s Pain Management clinic, Annie realized a special interest in orthopedic and musculoskeletal acupuncture, and has been honing those skills with 600+ individual treatments since graduating. She has also expanded an interest in facial rejuvenation and cosmetic acupuncture, further developing those skills with a series of classes with Michelle Gellis, L.Ac., renowned Facial Acupuncturist.

Chinese Medicine came into Annie’s life as a child who kept reaping benefits of a medicine she couldn’t quite comprehend, but knew always worked. Annie’s childhood on youth athletic teams had her constantly spraining her ankles, and her summers in Taipei City had her allergies persistently inflamed. When a couple needles did what ice and ibuprofen couldn’t to help a hobbling athlete be able to comfortably walk out of the treatment room, and when some packets of bitter herbs made Annie’s previously unbearable allergies almost non-existent, she knew this medicine was something special. As Annie has gone through her practice and education of Chinese Medicine, one of her favorite things is finding connections between the lessons her grandmother taught her growing up, and learning the reasoning behind her grandmother’s mystic wisdom. Annie’s passion for this medicine continues to grow with each visit she takes back home and each lesson she’s able to learn, and further connects how she can translate and utilize those ancient practices back here in the States.

Annie’s priority as a practitioner is to put her patients at ease while providing the most effective treatments possible. She prides herself in being a gentle but effective needler, and will happily work with you at whatever comfort level you are at with acupuncture, facial work, body work, and/or herbs, ensuring that you always get the right level of care. If a treatment calls for it, she loves utilizing many forms of cupping, electro-stimulation, vibrational therapy, guasha, and other forms of body work in conjunction with acupuncture.

When not practicing or studying Chinese Medicine, you can find Annie exploring as much as possible that the PNW has to offer - from mushroom foraging to snowboarding, mostly trying to spend as much time as possible outside with her husband and two dogs. She is fluent in English and Mandarin Chinese, and is trauma-informed. She is honored to serve the Vancouver community and to work with patients of all backgrounds.
