Does this sound familiar? You want to feel calm and peaceful, but instead you feel like you might snap at the weight of a feather or are constantly worried about how to keep your cool through the never-ending hassles of each day. Each day it becomes more difficult to manage this level of stress on your own. Life doesn’t have to go on this way. Hi, I’m Dr. Jennifer McManus, and I help ambitious women find relief from overwhelming levels of stress. It is my mission to provide scientifically informed psychotherapy without sacrificing compassion and genuine concern.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in stress management, my approach to treatment is focused on empowering individuals to build resilience and develop effective coping strategies. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques, I help clients identify sources of stress, challenge negative thought patterns, and learn to respond to stressors in healthier ways. By cultivating self-awareness and teaching skills such as time management, problem-solving, and assertive communication, I support individuals in managing their stressors proactively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment. My goal is to equip individuals with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, resilience, and overall well-being.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a sanctuary for those weighed down by the burdens of stress. I understand how stress can quietly seep into every crevice of life, clouding judgment, straining relationships, and overshadowing joy. With a blend of empathy and expertise, I work with clients to uncover the sources of their stress, whether they lie in the chaos of daily life, professional pressures, or personal challenges. Our collaborative journey is about more than managing symptoms; it's about cultivating a sense of inner calm, resilience, and balance. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your stressors, transforming them into opportunities for growth and peace, allowing you to reclaim a life defined not by stress, but by serenity and strength.

Chuck Gray, Ph.D.
Psychologist
Rather than limit counseling to only one approach, I offer my clients what I think is best specifically for them from a wide array of expert approaches in my marriage and other counseling. In addition to leading seminars to train other professionals in marriage counseling, I have benefited by receiving extensive professional training from most of the leading marriage counseling experts in the country, including but not limited to John Gottman, Susan Johnson, John Gray, Harville Hendrix, Virginia Satyr, Ellyn Bader and Peter Pearson, Gary Brainard, Frank Pittman, Shirley Glass, Janice Abrahms Spring, and Neil Jacobson. In conducting counseling, I am fortunate to be able to choose from numerous resources including principles from Gottman's research, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mars & Venus Counseling, Imago Therapy, Positive Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Systems Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Rogerian Therapy, Integrative Therapy, Humanistic Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Reality Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Gestalt Techniques, NLP, and EMDR. I also offer counseling tools that I personally developed here in Houston.
