Counseling & Stress Management
Our ability to cope with stress determines the effects it has on our immune system. Simply put, high stress leads to a weakened immune system, which leads to illness. Whether making a life transition or dealing with everyday stress of the modern world, Dr. Rios-Young offers confidential and supportive counseling services to encourage emotional growth and balance.

Hydrotherapy
Water for treatment of illness has been used for centuries by many cultures. Hydrotherapy typically uses alternating hot and cold applications to increase circulation and for stimulation of the immune system. All the treatments suggested can be done at home very easily.

Homeopathy
Homeopathy is based on the principle of “like cures like” or the law of similar. Homeopathic remedies are derived from a variety of plant, animal, and mineral substances and given in infinitesimally diluted doses to trigger the body’s natural defense mechanisms.

Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, light touch method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of the body. Dr. Rios-Young can release restrictions in the craniosacral system (which includes the skull, spinal cord, sacrum, and underlying neurological structures) to improve functioning of the central nervous system. Because it complements the body’s natural healing processes, craniosacral therapy is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction and is a safe and excellent treatment for children.
