Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people find life to be very stressful. Much anxiety comes from trying to do too much, or meet the expectations of others, or a negative mindset about what's ahead. I work with clients to explore their beliefs, and where they come from. Then, it's important to choose about what matters to You, and begin focusing on activities and people who matter to You. Setting clear intentions, changing behaviors, and being mindful of self care are helpful strategies.

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.

Using tools like psychonutrition, breathwork, biofeedback, and cognitive reframing, we help calm your stress response at the root—not just the surface. Together, we’ll create space for your body and mind to heal, so you can return to life feeling more balanced, resilient, and in control.
Your healing doesn’t have to be hard. It just needs to be aligned.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
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.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Stress is not simply an individual experience. It is often shaped by the cumulative demands of work, caregiving, relationships, marginalization, systemic pressures, trauma, chronic illness, and the pace of modern life.
My approach focuses on understanding stress through a nervous-system-centered lens. Together, we explore the patterns, expectations, environments, and survival strategies contributing to overwhelm while developing practical and sustainable ways to support regulation, resilience, rest, and wellbeing. Therapy creates space not only for coping, but also for examining whether the demands being placed upon you are truly sustainable.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
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

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with work pressure, family responsibilities, financial concerns, or the cumulative weight of daily demands, unmanaged stress can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and unable to cope.
I help clients develop effective strategies for managing stress and building resilience. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify the thoughts and beliefs that amplify stress—such as perfectionism, catastrophic thinking, or unrealistic expectations—and learn to challenge and reframe them. You'll develop practical coping skills including relaxation techniques, time management strategies, and problem-solving approaches that you can apply immediately.
From a family systems perspective, we'll also explore how relationship dynamics, family roles, and communication patterns may contribute to your stress levels. Sometimes stress isn't just about your own workload—it's about how responsibilities are distributed, boundaries are set, and support is available within your family or household. When past trauma or unresolved issues contribute to current stress, we can address those underlying factors to create more lasting relief and prevent future overwhelm.My goal is to help you not just survive stress, but develop the tools and perspective to manage life's challenges more effectively. You'll learn to recognize your stress triggers, respond rather than react, and create a more balanced, sustainable approach to your responsibilities and well-being.

Lauren Daniels
Music Therapist, MLIS, MT-BC
Music therapy can be effective in helping the individual to learn to recognize feelings and behaviors associated with stress and to express these emotions in positive, appropriate ways. Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM) is a music-centered, consciousness-expanding therapy, during which, I, the therapist, choose classical music sequences that stimulate journeys of the imagination. Experiencing imagery in this way facilitates clients’ integration of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual aspects of well-being.
