Stress
Tab Shamsi
Psychologist, PsyD, ABPP
Stress is a normal and adaptive part of life. In many cases, it sharpens focus, fuels motivation, and supports growth. Problems arise when stress is chronic, unmanaged, or disconnected from recovery, leading to exhaustion, irritability, strained relationships, and burnout. I approach stress treatment from a research-informed foundation, helping clients understand how stress functions biologically and psychologically before building personalized strategies that fit their specific demands and goals. Rather than eliminating stress entirely, our work focuses on strengthening resilience, improving recovery, and creating systems that allow you to benefit from ambition and busyness without being overwhelmed by them.

Siddharth Arora
Psychiatrist, DO, MS
While stress is a universal experience, chronic stress can lead to or worsen psychiatric conditions such as anxiety, depression, or insomnia. Our team provides targeted medication management to help regulate mood and stress reactivity, while collaborating with therapists and other providers to support broader coping strategies. We view stress management not as a quick fix, but as part of a long-term strategy for mental health resilience.

Fallon Reynolds
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, LPC
"When stress becomes chronic, it can feel like you’re constantly running on empty, affecting your sleep, your mood, and your ability to truly engage with your own life. In our sessions, I offer a grounded, supportive space to help you step off the treadmill and regain a sense of equilibrium. We will look beyond the surface to identify the specific sources of your stress and utilize evidence-based tools—like CBT and mindfulness strategies—to help you reset your nervous system and build practical, sustainable boundaries. My goal is to help you move from a state of constant 'survival mode' toward a more balanced, intentional way of living where you feel capable, calm, and in control."

Stress
Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I work with working professionals who are carrying a lot on their shoulders and are starting to feel the cost. Many of the people I see work in high-responsibility environments such as medicine, tech, or other fields where there is constant demand and very little true off-time. From the outside, you may look calm, competent, and reliable. Inside, your mind may not turn off, your sleep may be disrupted, your body may feel tight or wired, or you may notice yourself snapping at people you care about. You may be the one others turn to in crisis, at work or at home, with almost no space where you get to set anything down.
Stress in this context often looks like living in constant problem-solving mode, feeling responsible for how things turn out, and having a hard time resting even when you are exhausted. You may be juggling intense professional expectations, long hours, and complex personal or family dynamics, with a sense that you cannot drop any of the pieces. Your body may be registering this through headaches, tension, fatigue, or a sense of being constantly “on,” while your mind keeps telling you to just keep going. It can be hard to know what you need when other people are so used to needing you.
In our work together, we make room for the part of you that has learned to function under pressure and to keep going no matter what. We look closely at what is driving your stress, how it is affecting your body, mood, and relationships, and the expectations you are carrying for yourself and your work. This is a confidential space where you do not have to be the strong one, where you can lay things down, be honest about how hard it feels, and begin to find a way of living that is more sustainable for you.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Learning to identify stressors and ways to think about or manage or reduce or eliminate is a journey we can walk together. Part of stress management is limit setting - the thought of limit setting can , itself, feel stressful. But! You can choose how you wish to get to the place where your stress is lessened - and your emotional/physical/social health is improved.

Birmingham carries one of the most significant civil rights legacies of any American city — the site of the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing and pivotal moments in the fight for racial justice — and this history creates a distinctive context in which racial identity, historical trauma, and community resilience are active themes in local therapy culture. The city is home to UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham), one of the country's premier academic medical centers, which anchors significant mental health research, training, and clinical infrastructure. Birmingham's African American community — which comprises a majority of the city's population — drives strong demand for culturally affirming therapists who understand racial trauma and intergenerational resilience. The broader Birmingham metro's mix of healthcare, finance, and manufacturing industries creates diverse occupational therapy demand across a metropolitan area larger than the city itself.
