Whitney Reinhart
Registered Psychotherapist, MA., RP.
Anxiety and stress has become such a large part of people's experience, with more stressors within our society than ever before. I believe that each person has a unique experience of and response to stress and that many current stressors can trigger past experiences, making anxiety feel that much more uncontrollable. I hope to help you understand where your anxiety is coming from and why it is showing up for you in the way that it is. With this understanding we can then learn to manage core fears and learn to reduce anxiety and stress.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Stress is the body's physiological response to adversity. We all experience stress in our lives from time to time, whether that is relationship stress, job stress, racial stress/trauma. We will spend some time understanding how stress shows up for you in the mind and the body. We'll talk about your body's acute stress response, aka "fight, flight, or freeze" response, and engage in practices during session, that bring the body back to its window of tolerance. We'll develop a plan together that includes regular activities and practices to reduce stress in your life and engage your parasympathetic nervous system response (rest and digest).

Colleen Fava
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, Reiki Practitioner, BA
There are all kinds of stressors in our lives. Clients will often come to me to say that they don't understand why all of a sudden they cannot deal with their stress. I reply by letting them know that just like the act of doing the same exercise all day long will eventually stop helping our bodies, it is the same for our emotional well being - we need to learn new coping based on the present.
