Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with individuals and couples who are feeling overwhelmed by stress and the demands of daily life. Stress can come from many sources, including work pressure, relationships, health concerns, caregiving responsibilities, or ongoing life changes. Over time, chronic stress can affect mood, sleep, concentration, and emotional connection with others.
In therapy, we focus on identifying what is contributing to your stress and how it is showing up in your body, thoughts, and relationships. I help clients develop practical tools to manage stress more effectively, set healthier boundaries, and create space for rest and balance. This may include learning how to slow down, respond more intentionally, and prioritize what matters most.
The goal of our work is not to eliminate stress entirely, but to help you feel more capable and grounded as you navigate challenges. With support, many clients find they are better able to manage demands, improve relationships, and feel more present in their daily lives.

Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!

Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
General stress is a valid reason for seeking therapy. The majority of clients are subclinical, looking for ways to manage stress and triggers before they develop into conflict, mental illness, or disease. The demands of modern life are set up to leave us neglecting our true selves —so feeling stress is a sign of your humanity, and a place for us explore what works best for you.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic stress can gradually affect emotional wellbeing, physical health, relationships, concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Many individuals experiencing ongoing stress feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or unable to fully recover from the constant demands and pressures of daily life.
I help clients better understand the emotional, behavioral, relational, and environmental factors contributing to stress while developing healthier coping strategies and greater psychological resilience. Therapy focuses not only on symptom management, but also on creating more sustainable patterns related to work, relationships, boundaries, self-care, emotional regulation, and overall life balance.

Susanna La
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When we do not listen to our stress response, our mental/physical health can get affected. This can contribute to relationship conflicts, burnout, increased depression, anxiety, and overall poor quality of life. If you lead a life with multiple roles (as most of us do), such as parent, child, caregiver, employee, friend, etc., you may benefit from learning how to manage your stress by increasing your self-care and setting boundaries.

Stress is part of life. How we handle it is learned. Determining whether it is motivating us or overwhelming us is a critical distinction to make. Skills can be learned and practiced to maintain the ability to stay on track with our goals and in our relationships even through stressful periods.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Having a difficult family member is sooooo stressful - especially if you live with them. Even the sound of their voice may set your teeth on edge. You may try really hard to maintain your composure, to be kind, understanding that they are not well. But the constant strain takes a toll. And, if you are responsible for the care of someone who is uncooperative or defiant, then you may be at your wits end. Together we can explore strategies of calming your nervous system. More than that, we can listen to the messages that stress is trying to send you and see if there are realistic ways to prioritize your own needs for peace, rest, calm, and joy.
