Chryssa Tsakiris, L.ac.
I graduated from Pacific College of Health and Science in the spring of 2014 with a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture, and I’ve been practicing full time in Westchester after establishing this practice — first, as Acupuncture of Tarrytown! For the first couple years after graduating, I worked in both Manhattan and Brooklyn.
Before pursuing a career in acupuncture, I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of San Diego, majoring in Creative Writing with a minor in Gender Studies. I also completed a post-baccalaureate program in Psychology at Rutgers University.
My practice focuses on fertility acupuncture, high-functioning neurodivergence, headaches and migraines — and of course, my signature Feminist Facials series!
Like so many women during the pandemic, I was diagnosed with ADHD in my late 30s. (I believe we’re referred to as the lost girls…) That experience lit a fire in me to help women, diagnosed or otherwise, rewrite their futures.
Instead of feeling trapped, wrong, or like a constant square peg in a round hole, I want neurodivergent individuals to embrace their differences as their birthright and their unique reason for being here on this earth.
The neurodivergent brain is essential in this world, and I love helping my clients fully embody and honor what they have to offer.
I’m currently pursuing my doctorate in neurologically-focused acupuncture to better address neurodiversity and help people navigate the many comorbidities that come with it. Calming the nervous systems of those who need it most has a ripple effect: it benefits everyone.
In both my clinical work and the courses I create (currently on the roster: Proof of Life™ and Bitch to Witch), I draw on my educational foundation and lived experience. This is my primary passion, and the gallery of before-and-afters keeps growing — not just externally but internally, as these sessions inspire profound growth for both practitioner and patient.
I wear a lot of hats (I’m a business owner, a mom, a stepmom, a spouse, we have 3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 mice, and a snake as pets at home, and yes, my hair is probably different in every picture you see of me)…
