Stress therapists in Merced, California CA
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
I specialize in supporting highly sensitive and growth-oriented individuals who have struggled to find their way, or have endeavored to do so in spite of great obstacles. With a background in trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral (i.e. ACT, DBT) interventions, I can help you to tap into your own internal resources and acquire the skills to navigate your life with greater ease.

Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
You can reduce stress or manage it productively by using some of these strategies:
1. Express your feelings….with friends, a counselor, write in a journal, compose a letter you don’t mail, write a poem or essay. Don’t be afraid to ask for help.
2. Do just one thing at a time. Prioritize the things you need to get done.
3. Take care of yourself physically through nutrition or exercise.
4. Know your limits. Focus on what is really important and learn to say no.
5. Watch how you talk to yourself and do not judge yourself. Reverse your negative ideas and focus on positive outcomes.

Victoria Bresee
Hypnotherapist, MA, MAR, CHt
A certain amount of stress will ensure that we prepare for an important meeting, practice for an audition, or plan carefully for an event, like a wedding. But, too much stress can make our voice shaky, make us forget our speech, or sabotage our success in other ways. By learning some quick-acting mind/brain/body tools to soothe yourself and interrupt negative thought patterns, and by experiencing hypnotic visualizations where you imagine yourself getting through your situation successfully, you can find focus, clarity and actually enjoy your event.
