Q: What brought you to try Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine at CSTCM’s Student Clinic?
A: I was so wanting to explore Eastern medicine versus Western and I decided that since I lived in the neighborhood it would be a great opportunity.
Q: What other therapies or treatments did you try prior to coming to CSTCM?
A: Traditional Western stuff and then also Chiropractic, Massage Therapy, all that stuff.
Q: What brought you to CSTCM’s Student Clinic in the first place?
A: When I was going through my master’s program I needed hours to obtain my licensure and to graduate and I vowed that if people were to trust me in the field of psychology that I would pay that forward and give other students the opportunity.
Q: How long have you been using Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)?
A: Oh my gosh probably four years maybe four five years at this point.
Q: Have the treatments you have received at our clinic been successful in treating your health concerns? Or, what have the benefits of TCM been?
A: Yes they’ve been wonderful. I come for different reasons. Sometimes I feel stressed or I feel lethargic or you know maybe depressed or you know, sick.
Lots of different things, and so whenever I feel like I need some sort of help I come here and they’re able to fix whatever is going on. I can’t sleep they can poke me somewhere and that’s it – they fix it. It’s amazing.
Q: What has your experience been like working with our students?
A: They’ve really been wonderful. This is a very professional school and so I don’t really feel ever as if the care isn’t going to be of the utmost quality. The instructors are always here – they will pop in, they’ll ask questions, so it’s a great experience, and I no longer live in the neighborhood but I still come back.
Q: Would you recommend this medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, to others?
A: absolutely I recommend it all the time to everyone for lots of different reasons because I’m in the field of psychology. I know that it does help with not only mood stuff but also those co-occurring things like chronic pain which can affect mood and and motivation and all of those things, so I recommended it to everybody all the time.
Q: Would you recommend our Student Clinic?
A: Absolutely yes, absolutely. I think it’s an easy way for people to get acquainted with Traditional Chinese medicine in a very calm, non-scary environment.
Q: Any final thoughts?
A: I just love the treatments. It’s just it’s been really helpful for me and working for our nonprofit it’s great because it’s very affordable as well.
