Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Life is stressful. Sometimes everything comes tumbling down at once. Problems at work, in relationships with friends, family, or neighbors, or in encountering illness. Major source of difficulty especially these days is how financial setbacks can make living life freely and joyfully seem impossible. Prolonged stress can lead to or worsen physical illness and cause psychological imbalance. Among the possibilities, a solutions-focused approach can be helpful in slowly tackling the unwelcome practical burdens that life presents.

When Stress Becomes Your Normal
You may be holding everything together — work, relationships, family — but inside, you feel stretched thin. Your mind is racing, your sleep is off, and no matter how much you get done, it never feels like enough. Maybe your body has started to show the strain too — headaches, fatigue, tension, or constant restlessness.
Stress is your body’s way of saying something needs care. When it becomes chronic, it can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected from what once brought joy.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you calm your nervous system and regain a sense of balance. Together, we’ll:
Identify the thoughts and habits that keep your stress cycle running
Build emotional tools to manage pressure without burning out
Learn how to pause and reset your body’s “threat mode” using neuroscience-based skills
Strengthen your boundaries and reconnect with what truly matters to you
Replace overthinking and self-criticism with clarity and confidence
Our work combines practical tools, humor, and self-compassion — because healing from stress isn’t about doing more, it’s about learning how to do less with more presence and peace.
I BELIEVE:
Your stress is not a personal failure — it’s a signal asking for understanding, not judgment.
Balance isn’t something you find; it’s something you build, moment by moment.
You can be both ambitious and grounded, productive and peaceful.
Boundaries are acts of self-respect, not selfishness.
You deserve a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and your own.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Chronic stress can quietly erode your sense of balance and well-being, especially for individuals who carry high levels of responsibility at work or in their personal lives. Many high-achieving adults become accustomed to operating in constant pressure or overdrive. In therapy we explore the deeper patterns behind chronic stress while helping your nervous system shift out of constant alert so you can experience greater clarity, steadiness, and resilience.

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.

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!

Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
The pressures of life can make it difficult to thrive and feel emotionally regulated. My goal is to help you find what you need to feel that you can manage the stress of life and feel empowered to overcome whatever you face on a daily basis. Having a space in therapy to process experiences outside of your daily life can ease the pressures of life and find emotional regulation and balance.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Stress can have you feeling burned out, on edge, anxious, irritable or highly reactive. Whatever the cause, especially when there are multiple sources of stress, your nervous system can chronically burn on overdrive, disrupting your sleep and interfering in relationships, job performance and life satisfaction. Even with multiple sources of pressure on you, therapy can help you learn to create external boundaries by limiting what you take on, and internal boundaries by holding all that pressure at arms length, and managing stress in ways that allow you to access a sense of calm in the storm. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you manage stress and build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and one of the most underestimated. Chronic stress erodes relationships, health, and the ability to be present for what matters most. We help clients identify the sources of their stress, develop sustainable coping strategies, and make the practical and emotional changes needed to actually feel better, not just cope better.
