- Maia Lisowski1/16/2020When I moved to Hawaii last year I was in need of a new naturopathic doctor. I searched on google and found the Center for Natural Healing. Something about reading about the center made me feel like I HAD to go and see Dr. Joy. My gut feeling was right and it was the best decision!I was experiencing chronic hives for the first time in my life and having severe allergic reactions where my lip and face would swell up. I also had a personal diagnosis that another doctor told me there wasn't really much to do except wait for it to pass. I went to see Dr. Joy and my hives went away in a week! It turns out I had a major fungal growth in my body. AND I recently went to my other Dr. and my tests came back negative for the previous diagnosis! I have learned so much about my body and health since I started to see Dr. Joy. Now anytime I have any issues from period cramps to my gut health, I always talk to Dr. Joy first and my symptoms always subside. Thank you so much Dr. Joy. I am so grateful I found you!read moreread lessNissa Gundersen12/20/2019I have been a patient of Dr. Joy since July 2019 and since then, I have never felt better about myself and about my health. I have struggled with skin problems and low confidence since I can remember.. I battled with acne since middle school and have been to numerous dermatologists and been on every drug imaginable with no avail... It is safe to say that I had just given up since no one had any answers for me and would simply recommend that I go on a different antibiotic every time. (BTW I had a FUNGAL INFECTION which only worsens on antibiotics- such a waste of time and money). But, Doctor Joy knew right away what I had and was able to test which remedies would work best for my body. She is highly trained in the classic principles of Chinese Medicine and has methods to ENSURE that the remedies she picks are the right match for everyone.
She not only gives you the tools that you need to turn your health around, but she educates you on how to maintain healthy habits that create lasting results that you can feel!! She is a very experienced and knowledgable doctor, therapist, and FRIEND all in one. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the well-being of the people that she cares for and even for the ones not directly under her care. Dr. Joy turned my life around and gave me the power of my health back. I could never begin to thank her enough for helping me. I look forward to working with her for many more years to come.

- Amanda Tanner4/09/2019I have been seeing Dr. Joy since October of 2018. I had been seeing my regular doctor for a couple years with many health issues and with absolutely no resolve of my health. I was depressed, overweight, dealing with stomach problems, which were diagnosed as IBS, and I was always exhausted! I finally found the Center for natural healing and decided to give it a try. I was tired of not being heard by my doctors. At my first visit with Dr. Joy I was a little taken back at the cost for treatment but wanted to give it a try anyway. I had tried everything else at this point and just wanted to feel like myself again. Since I have started my healing with Dr. Joy I have lost 25 pounds! I feel happy again, I have energy, and my “IBS” is gone! The best Decision I have ever made was to invest in MYSELF! The wonderful and welcoming staff makes each visit better than the last.

You cannot take the supplements alone; she also teaches you the importance of diet and exercise.read moreread less
- Lisa Miyamoto12/26/2017I started seeing Dr. Ostroff a little over a month ago for eczema. I started experiencing symptoms in July and they progressively got worse. It spread from my neck to my feet and was so uncomfortable that I would wake up during the night because the itching had become painful. I did try a dermatologist and was able to get temporary relief with the use of steroid creams, a round of oral steroids and eventually a steroid injection. But the relief was only temporary and the eczema and discomfort never really went away. I also had concerns that the steroids were only treating the symptoms and not the cause of the eczema and did not want to be on steroids long term. Desperate, I made an appointment with Dr. Ostroff at the recommendation of a friend who had been seeing her and was very happy with her results. Within a week of my appointment with Dr. Ostroff my symptoms improved to the point that I could get a full nights rest. The condition of my skin has greatly improved and is almost completely healed. Even the scaring from some of the more severe patches have gone away. In addition to treating the eczema I've lost a much needed 10lbs. It wasn't a part of my initial goals but the weight loss has helped me to feel better overall. Prior to seeing Dr. Ostroff I also had frequent stomach aches, low energy and sudden drops in blood sugar which would leave me dizzy and nauseated. Since seeing Dr. Ostroff my energy level has improved, my stomach pains have gone away and I haven't experienced any dizziness or nausea. I also have an overall better outlook about my health, taking care of my body and making better choices for me and my family. Cost is definitely a factor and Dr. Ostroff's services are not cheap. However, I feel that the money I've invested into my health has been worth it. I also feel the Dr. Ostroff is more than willing to work with you in terms of your financial situation. Every visit that I have gone to the staff has been very friendly and professional. Her facilities are clean and the environment is very welcoming. If you are looking for long term improved health and are willing to commit to a healthier lifestyle than Dr. Ostroff is an excellent person to partner with.read moreread lessRovelma Hudson12/04/2017Dr. Joy is very direct with her evaluation and treatment plans.

I saw her during a time when I was the sickest I have ever been in my life and my physician did all that she could and I still didn’t feel much better. After seeing Dr. Joy, I started to improve and felt so much better and faster than I was expecting. In addition, I’ve always had stomach issues pretty regularly, but I have now gone several months without an upset stomach… unheard of. Never in my life have I gone this long without an upset stomach.

When I left my home town I said I wanted to work for a natural pathetic Dr. I grew up in holistic kinda way, my father was a chiropractor and I was leaving the chiropractor in my home town. I wasn't often sick or hurt but I knew I would need some natural treatment now and then. So I started looking on the Internet Lol . I read Dr. Dianna Joy ostrof's story and testimonials and knew she was the one . Made an appointment and went to see and wow was i pleasantly surprised. As I listen to what she had to say I thought I would work here for free or for treatment everyday. Treatment was fantastic and I scheduled my next appointment. Getting low on funds since I had just moved to Hawaii I called to cancel my appointment Dr Joy called me few days later not knowing I had canceled my appointment, and said she needed assistance she had interviewed a few people but couldn't get me out of her thoughts. She then asked if I could come in for an interview:) I said yes. The very next day was my appointment/ interview. It's been one of the best things that has happened in my life. I have learned a lot and Dr Joy has helped me become a better me. Her health advice and care have been the best from chiropractic to acupuncture with on site sauna and the right supplements, there is a massage therapist and many other amenities. This experience has been life changing for me . Thank you Dr Joy. I will always love you!read moreread less

I began to feel noticeably better within the first month and most of my symptoms disappeared: extreme nausea, bloating, anxiety for no reason, bacterial infection, huge dark circles under my eyes, and debilitating fatigue.

Luckily I found Dr. Ostroff exactly when I needed her, right my health began to get even worse. Not only did she figure out what was wrong within our very first visit, but she was able to address and treat all of the underlying issues behind why I felt the way I did. Her treatment works miracles....I immediately began to feel better and have been going in for treatment for the past 3 months I have began to finally feel better than I have ever felt, and friends have even made comments that I look better than I have all year. I am so grateful that I found this doctor and highly recommend her to everyone!! The massage therapist Danny is also incredibly gifted and the staff is always so friendly.

Michaelread moreread less - Heather Strait7/18/2016If it weren't for Dr. Ostroff, I would probably still be battling heartburn that had plagued me for almost 20 years. I even had a Nissenfundoplication in 2007 to stop it, but alas, the surgery's benefits are only temporary (which they told me later), while the negative aspects last a lifetime. I no longer have heartburn. Ever. I am off all antacids, including natural antacids, after following Dr. Joy's instructions and taking her supplements and herbs for a few months. Don't get me wrong, there was a healing crisis and crazy heartburn as I transitioned off the Prilosec, but it was worth it!I have also had horrible cystic acne since adolescence and underwent toxic drug treatment-twice. Prior to that, useless dermatologists had me on antiobiotics-for over TWO YEARS. Needless to say, my gut was a wreck and I ended up with severe candida fungal overgrowth. My candida is getting much better. My acne is getting better. I no longer have horrible cystic acne. Before Dr. Ostroff, I had zero energy. Now I can get out of bed in the morning and I feel rested. I have energy all day, and even when I get home in the evening! I get home from work and have energy to cook dinner, do homework (I went back to school online), visit with my son, clean my house, etc. I have always needed a lot of sleep, but still felt tired even if I slept 8-10 hours, and I wish I had gone to see Dr. Ostroff years ago. I had never had acupuncture before Dr. Ostroff, so I was a bit nervous, but she is a pro. I am glad she's applied acupuncture thousands of times before me...I don't even feel the needles go in! I knock out and feel even more amazing afterwards. Her spine and neck adjustments are gentle and you can tell she's a pro. I have been seeing Dr. Joy for about 6 months or so, and I now am taking my son to see her for the first time, in October.

I found it extremely helpful. She then gave me chiropractic treatment and acupuncture. I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated after. With all the knowledge I gained from her I felt confident and grateful to take care of my body and make very specific diet and lifestyle changes. The combination of our meeting and detailed and personalized vitamin therapy, my health and eyes are completely refreshed. My eyes or completely clear of any redness and look and feel so much better. It's a MIRACLE!!! I have zero redness and virtually no allergies! I'm completely shocked and grateful for these improvements in my health.

When I first saw her, I didn't really have any issues; but I'm on this health kick so I thought why the heck not!? Told her I was working out way more than before and needed something that not only helped me with my protein intake, but would also help to keep my system "clean" and not gunked up. So she had me take some supplements after this wicked cool testing device (don't ask me what it was; cause goodness knows I would spell the thing wrong in a heartbeat). I loved it! Within the first week, even though the powder tasted like tar, it made me feel good. Not the I won a million bucks good, but the I totally just scored the highest score on an online game good-which is still totes for the awesome. None the less, I would totes recommend you seeing her, don't be shy about telling her what your goals are; or what's bugging you; and be open minded. If you're already reading my review than you know you need the help and why bother resisting it right?

Even after the first treatment, which included body work, acupuncture, and supplements, the pain I've been experiencing in my back was gone. I didn't even know how uncomfortable I had been until the next day when I had no discomfort!
Since that first treatment six weeks ago, I've 'signed on' to participate fully in my treatment, and have been eating cleaner, lost several inches, skin/hair look amazing, sleeping like a baby, and wearing clothes I haven't worn in two years....

It's something I'm very self conscious about. My eyes would be blood shot for no apparent reason, ALL THE TIME. People would ask me if I'm tired or using drugs. And my allergies would make everything worse. I have tried everything that I could. All kinds of allergy medicines, allergy shots, and as much water as I could. Nothing seemed to help at all. I had almost lost all hope for my eyes being clear and white and was strongly considering surgery. Something was telling me to explore a naturopathic route. I did a little bit of research online when I had discovered Dr. Joy Ostroff. She had incredible reviews online and a very very explanative website. I did a lot of reading and decided to meet with Doctor. This was my last hope. Dr. Ostroff and her team are amazing. The atmosphere is very calm and relaxing, like no traditional doctor's office is ever been to. Her staff is very respectful and patient. Doctor herself is an angel. She did all kinds of testing on me and explained in detail what's going on in my body. She taught more about my body and health in our first meeting than all my previous doctors combined. I found it extremely helpful. She then gave me chiropractic treatment and acupuncture. I felt so refreshed and rejuvenated after. With all the knowledge I gained from her I felt confident and grateful to take care of my body and make very specific diet and lifestyle changes.

Joy for help rebalancing my hormones, alleviating horrible allergies to dust and mold and in supporting me kicking up my commitment to an even higher level of health-body, mind and spirit ......Although busy, she is always generous with her time working with me patiently. I understand that for many people this approach(acupuncture, natural-pathy, herbal remedies..) is not quick enough or seems unfamiliar. But over the years I have come to trust non-Western approaches & it is not about a quick fix or band-aiding over symptoms as Western medicine often does. I have learned to trust her expansive knowledge and experience along with my own intuition as my body fluctuates and heals. It is a time commitment and worthy expense and commitment to take the various Chinese herbs vs one allergy medicine tablet but I have had such deeper level relief and healing and overall wellness that I am committed!!

- Heather B.7/23/2015****Dr. Ostroff cured my heartburn. Now I wish I had never had that Nissenfundoplication.****
For my full review, please visit my FB. The word limit on Yelp won't allow me to fully share my testimony. facebook.com/notes/heath…
I have not had heartburn for over a month, and that is a big deal since I had it daily all day since I was 15 years old (20 years of heartburn). I also lost 15 lbs thanks to treatment for hypothyroid. I was completely swollen, and didn't understand why. I had been using nascent iodine for a couple years, but it wasn't enough.
Acupuncture treatments are amazing as are the lymphatic massages. Dr. Ostroff treats your mind, body and spirit together because one cannot heal without the others also healing. She will get you better, you just need to do what she says. If you've been sick for 5, 10, 20 years or longer, why are you still allowing MD's to make you sicker? Don't you want to get better?
I also recommend Dr. Ostroff if you have an autistic child or a child who suffers from asthma, ADHD, etc. She will safely detox your child from heavy metals and other toxins that affect the neurotransmitters in the brain and the candida that has destroyed their gut-brain health.

I was referred by friends after exhausting normal medical channels. Being told that I was just getting old and should lower my expectations about aches and pains did not resonate with me. After an initial consultation and exam, Dr. Ostroff determined that I needed to realign my body by getting rid of toxins that I had built up and regain a state of optimum health. This was done by what I would call integrative medicine. A combination of 21st century pure naturopathic medications, traditional Chinese medicinal tonics, acupuncture, massage and a digital apparatus to test various compounds and tonics individualized for each patient. There is no one size fits all approach here. Treatment modalities are reviewed and changed at each appointment depending on your progress and the need for additional or different products. Dr. Ostroff is very intuitive and actually listens to you. I found this refreshing and very helpful in the progress of my "rehabilitation" to a healthy state of being. Do not expect that you will feel totally well in a few weeks. It took years for me to arrive at an unhealthy place. I was amazed at the rapid progress toward health that I have made. I am a retired dentist and found out things about posture and eating habits that will serve me well for the rest of my life. Your health is a life long endeavor. In a short period of time I was able to feel more than 10 years younger with increased mental focus and no "age pains" that I initially presented with at my first appointment. Having been in the health profession myself for 45 years of practice I do not say these things lightly. I highly recommend Dr. Ostroff and her staff to you.read moreread less
- E. Nanikeola7/18/2015I attended Dr. Ostroff's seminar this last Monday evening that was filled with amazing information that grabbed me by the heart and soul. Being a kinesiologist and personal trainer myself, I was so intrigued by the way Dr. Ostroff explained how to balance the body and heal the body naturally- with a natural boost from her council, knowledge and experience. There were so many things running through my mind that I wanted to fix...exercise and a base knowledge of nutrition (mainly for weight loss) were not creating the overall balance that my body needed. Due to attending the seminar, I was allotted a complimentary consultation which I immediately scheduled. When I saw Dr. Ostroff for my consultation she tested my on a machine that measures the levels of energy in the body and taught me that not all supplements and natural remedies are designed for all of us. Yes, there are a lot of wonderful products (and a ton of not-so-wonderful products), but depending on your starting point and balances needed there are certain products more effective to individualize your game plan. Dr. Ostroff tested me and suited me to the most recommended supplements. She then performed manual palpitations and acupuncture on my body. Having never before been to a naturopathic doctor before, Dr. Ostroff really helped me realize the benefits of Eastern medicine and showed me what a walking product of her own philosophy she really is. She would not ask you to do anything she has not done before, or has not been tested by the leading naturopathic researchers in the nation, if not the world. I am so excited to start this journey with the Center for Natural Healing and will be posting a follow-up review in the months to follow.

My stubborn rash is completely gone now and without any topical creams/ointments. I truly healed from the inside out. Besides the rash, I have no medical issues and am on no prescription medications.

She was able to verify what doctors had told me many times before, I have low blood pressure, low blood volume leading to less energy and strength. What no doctor had ever talked about was fixing it. Through different supplements and added knowledge how diet can help I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. She also changed my thyroid medication to a lower dose natural one, this has led to being and feeling less irritable. Apparently to much thyroid makes you anxious and irritable.

I decided to supplement the Western medicine with a holistic approach. Dr. Ostroff took me on as a patient and she worked with me and with the doctors' approach at Kaiser. In a matter of a few months I was noticing significant effects. To this day I continue my treatment and follow ups with Dr. Ostroff.

- Keoki Y.1/28/2013Dr Joy Ostroff is a prominent Naturopathic doctor on Oahu. I've had the privilege of speaking with other Naturopaths and Holistic doctors on the island to verify.
I started going to Dr. Ostroff approximately 3 months ago. I went to her after being diagnosed with an auto immune challenge. As I've never been to a Naturopath before I was somewhat hesitant but decided that it would probably do more good than harm.
Over the 3 months, Dr. Ostroff put me on a regiment of a number of supplements. No, we did not do a blood test. Over my three months my conditions improved dramatically. However, it is also important to note that I also kept on my western medical regiment as well. The timing of my improvement is correlated quite strongly with the timing of Dr Ostroff's help. My health has improved and my neurologists is quite impressed with my recovery.
I have read the reviews for Dr. Ostroff and I can understand why some would be reluctant and disproving of Naturopathic and Holistic medicine, or of Dr Ostroff for that matter. I find it important with Dr Ostroff to ask her questions about everything she is doing and giving me so that I understand thoroughly. Her style is so that the patients needs to prompt her with more questions in order to get more information out of her. She is willing to answer your questions.
And yes, the supplements do get expensive. Unfortunately my insurance doesn't cover pro active medicine
Its a process and you can't expect overnight results. Holistic medicine is just as powerful as you want it to be. Its important to delve into it with a positive mindset... after doing your homework to decide if it's right for you.read moreread lesssabrinaus1/11/2013Since seeing Dr. Ostroff I feel 100% better, and my energy level has increased a lot!

My cholesterol was high, my bad fat was too high and my food fat was too low. I was even rejected by the blood bank to donate blood because my iron was so low. Needless to say, I wasn't feeling too good. But through many months of TLC from Dr. Diana and the help of supplements and lifestyle changes on my part, I am now in the road to living a healthy life. My lab test taken by Straub showed a dramatic decrease in my cholesterol level and great improvements on my HDL and LDL levels. I am now once again able to donate blood and needless to say am feeling much better. Dr Diana has taught me how to take care of myself.read moreread lesssohdagscsd8/17/2012Since 1986 I have had allergic... Since 1986 I have had allergic reactions to common antibiotics and minor heart problems. For several years I was advised to take daily medication. During this period, the symptoms were somewhat controlled but did not fully abate. The thought of taking medication for an indefinite period was very distasteful. I read an article on naturopathic medicine and thought to give this avenue a try. To my amazement, within weeks my symptoms such as shortness of breath and irregular heart rhythm were controlled by diet and the correct supplements. Prior to my stating this regimen, I was able to jog only 10-15 minutes before experiencing discomfort. Today I run 45 minutes, 5 times per week, and this timeframe is only limited by family commitments and a bus work schedule.read moreread less

I could not sleep during the night, during the day – anytime. I was exhausted and I could not sleep. This went on for two weeks and then I found Dr. Ostroff. Within one week I was sleeping 6 hours per night. After 2 weeks I was back to sleeping 8 hours. Then after 3 weeks, I was sleeping 8 RESTFUL hours and feeling much more energized. It even only took me 2 days to paint the entire inside of our new house! I am so thankful for her. Without this I would have continued to struggle to the adjustment, I would not have had energy to go on job interviews or spend time with my husband. Beyond this, she has kept me from getting colds, she has balanced my diet and helped with my terrible knee pain.

I don't know what else I can do for you - we've tried every medication there is for high blood pressure. This was the pronouncement of my medical doctor a few months ago. I was being treated for hypertension, diabetes, fibromyalgia, high cholesterol, arthritis, asthma, allergies and other maladies. I came to Dr. Ostroff in a brain fog of prescription drugs and pain. I had little energy, sleep deprivation and a very busy schedule which contributed to my elevated blood pressure. After only 2 months of treatment I am much more energetic, having more restful sleep, reducing the prescription medications and my blood pressure is beginning to go down. Dr. Ostroff's expertise and knowledge of correct supplements and herbal prescriptions has started a healing process in my body and I have a greater feeling of well-being than i've had for a long time. I really appreciate Dr. Ostroff's positive, caring attitude toward physical and emotional needs to promote healing.read moreread less
- Catherine Zahrn7/18/2012When I first came to Dr. Ostroff, I was relatively healthy, but wanted to do something to feel stronger and more energetic. As a dancer, it is crucial that I be in good physical health. My hope was that Dr. Ostroff could help me plan a diet and lifestyle change that would improve my well-being and my dancing. Luckily, I came to the right person. Dr. Ostroff helped me evaluate my diet and make necessary changes. By eliminating dairy and cutting down on my consumption of wheat, I avoided the allergy problems I once had. Dr. Ostroff also introduced me to the Eat Right for Your Type diet, and encouraged me to keep a food journal during the first few months of the program. This increased awareness of what I'm putting into my body has changed my life. The new diet, along with daily supplements and twice monthly visits to do massage/ acupuncture treatment has changed my life. I now feel stronger, more energetic, and healthier. I've noticed that I get sick less often and I generally feel happier. Now that I am healthier, I am able to dance better, and I am feeling good!read moreread lessanonymousalvarez7/11/2012I am not exaggerating when I s... I am not exaggerating when I say that I have never been in such despair or confusion about my health. During the initial consultation, I felt a sense of relief wash over me because Dr. Ostroff was able to cut through the confusion, and explained that getting my hormones in balance was not just about treating symptoms, and it certainly was not a quick fix. She set out a goal to get my entire mind, body, and spirit back into balance, and when that happens, the hormones should also be in balance. This not only made sense to me, but it demonstrated a sense of caring on her part to help bring me to optimal health. The simplicity of it is simply elegant. In addition, she detected a viral infection that we had to work on first. I have quit smoking and drinking coffee. I have lost some weight, which was unintentional, but a welcomed change. I can now see how my past diet and habits led me to a point where i could just not maintain my health and menopause, they say, is the mother of all wake up calls. I am at the point where I do feel much more balanced, have some energy and want to start an exercise program that will add even more energy and tone to the body. In less than two months, my hot flashes are much milder and less frequent, to the point where I can finally function during the day. The dizziness is gone and I can drive and go out with confidence. My sleep has improved. I feel so much better and believe that I have only just begun. My experience with Dr. Ostroff has been life changing, and I am now looking forward to the rest of my life knowing that the best is yet to come.read moreread less

Our Unique Approach to Anxiety Treatment in Hawaii
A Personalized Treatment Experience
Our Honolulu anxiety treatment and management considers the patient’s mind, body, and soul. We take a broader view of treating anxiety encompassing personal beliefs, attitudes, emotions, and nutritional, hormonal, and lifestyle factors.
Rather than offer temporary solutions or a quick fix to treat anxiety through sedating or mind-altering medications, we aim to treat the more significant issues surrounding anxiety by addressing mental, physical, and lifestyle factors that may enable anxiety or allow it to build.
Our anxiety management aims to address unpleasant emotions or states of being induced by stress, anxiety, or fear by first increasing self-awareness, teaching techniques to develop inner peace, and improving overall health.
We help patients identify the root of their anxiety, and then apply the appropriate relief mechanisms and treatments to create lasting changes.
This typically involves teaching the patient anxiety management tools and supporting the overall health and function of the body through the appropriate hormonal, nutritional, or lifestyle adjustments.
What is Anxiety?
Anxiety is an emotional state characterized by feelings of fear, dread, and uneasiness, often accompanied by physical symptoms such as sweating, restlessness, tension, and rapid heartbeat.
It can arise as a normal response to stressful situations, like challenges at work, academic tests, significant decisions, and even past trauma.
While a small amount of anxiety and stress can used to motivate us or give us a boost of energy, constant anxiety can spiral into constant worry and become overwhelming.
What is a Anxiety disorder?
An anxiety disorder is a mental health condition characterized by excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. These disorders often involve repeated episodes of sudden feelings of intense anxiety and fear or terror that reach a peak within minutes (panic attacks).
Unlike normal anxiety triggered by specific stressors, anxiety disorders last at least six months and can interfere with daily activities, such as job performance and relationships.
There are various types of anxiety disorders with some being more common than others. The following are the 6 most common anxiety disorders:
- Phobias
- Social anxiety disorder (social anxiety)
- Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
- Panic disorder (panic attacks)
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
Symptoms & Warning Signs of Anxiety Disorders
Each anxiety disorder can have its own unique set of symptoms. However, most anxiety disorders will have a combination of similar cognitive, physical, and behavioral symptoms that significantly impact daily functioning. Some of the common symptoms are as follows:
- Persistent anxious thoughts.
- Difficulty controlling worrisome thoughts that are disproportionate to the actual danger or stressor.
- Physical symptoms which may include a rapid or pounding heartbeat, unexplained aches and pains, dizziness, and shortness of breath.
- Behavioral changes such as notable avoidance of routine activities previously engaged in.
It’s important to note that an anxiety disorder, unlike occasional anxiety, is enduring, often escalating over time, and significantly hinders one’s ability to function normally in daily life.
How Our Anxiety Treatment Works
Naturopathic anxiety treatment recognizes the body’s inherent ability to heal and restore emotional balance. Dr. Ostroff’s approach combines evidence-based natural therapies with comprehensive diagnostic testing to address the root causes of anxiety, not just symptoms, promoting lasting mental wellness and emotional freedom.
Each treatment addresses multiple aspects of mental health:
- Hormonal and nutritional balancing to support brain chemistry
- Gut microbiome optimization for improved mental clarity
- Stress management techniques for sustained well-being
- Natural remedies and adaptogenic herbs for emotional stability
During treatment, Dr. Ostroff employs a holistic approach that considers mental, physical, and lifestyle factors. These methods help patients reclaim their emotional balance while building self-awareness and learning tools for long-term anxiety management, ultimately improving relationships and overall quality of life.

:
What therapist is best for anxiety?
For anxiety, a therapist specialized in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is often recommended due to its proven effectiveness in treating anxiety disorders. However, the best therapist for an individual may also depend on personal comfort, therapeutic rapport, and specific needs, as other therapeutic approaches like psychodynamic therapy or mindfulness-based therapies can also be beneficial.
:
What is the 3 3 3 rule for anxiety?
The 3-3-3 rule for anxiety is a coping strategy where one looks around and names three things they can see, then moves three parts of their body (such as hands, feet, or shoulders), and finally, lists three things they can hear. This technique helps ground the person in the present moment, diverting their mind from anxious thoughts.
