| Kate Black has been practicing acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine since the 1980's. She was trained at the American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in San Francisco and studied for several years in Japan at the Institute of Oriental Medicine. Her focus includes sports medicine, womens' health, immune disorders and addiction medicine. She is a member of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association (NADA), trained in New York and Bayview Hunter's Point and is a Registered Trainer for their organization. She is a co-founder of Acupuncture and Recovery Treatment Services, Inc., a nonprofit corporation that has implemented successful and long term community drug treatment and HIV services throughout the Bay Area. She is a Stanford- trained physician assistant. "What I appreciate the most about acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine is that it treats the whole person and is not solely focused on a person's disease symptoms. The treatment approach factors in a client's physical, mental, emotional self. I find that this is why acupuncture can often very effectively treat such disorders as depression, anxiety, insomnia. My training as a physician assistant has allowed me to work closely with primary care providers and specialists over the years and I've come to find out how effectively Eastern and Western medicine can work together, thus providing more comprehensive care for patients."
