Barbara Jaurequi Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT, MAC
Stress seriously impacts your emotional health, as well as your physical health. It keeps you from thinking clearly and functioning effectively. It can even impact the most important relationships in your life. But no matter how stressful your life seems, there are steps you can take to relieve the pressure and regain control. In fact, the simple admission that stress has taken over your life is the first step in learning how to manage it. Stress management is all about taking charge of your lifestyle, thoughts, emotions, and the way you deal with problems. I can help you sort everything out, figure out your priorities, and structure a plan so stress doesn’t run your life – YOU do!

Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Chronic stress can feel relentless, causing your mind to spiral, keeping your body tense and on edge, and leaving you exhausted or overwhelmed. Often, stress is fueled by high expectations, an overwhelming mental to-do list, or the pressure to control too much at once. Over time, this can drain your energy, strain relationships, and make everyday life feel heavy.
In therapy with me, we’ll explore how these patterns take hold, learn practical ways to quiet the mind and reset the nervous system, let go of the pressure, and confidently navigate challenges. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, steadiness, and a more sustainable way of living.

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
The modern world's relentless demands create unprecedented levels of chronic stress that our bodies and minds weren't designed to manage indefinitely. I help clients develop personalized stress management systems that address both external factors (the barrage of information, attention hijacking technologies, and competing priorities) and internal responses. Through clinical hypnosis and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, clients learn to distinguish between productive and unproductive stress while developing practical tools for nervous system regulation. Our work often includes redefining personal success metrics to align with wellbeing rather than exhaustion—creating sustainable approaches to life's inevitable pressures.

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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
Hypnosis, reported improved sleep, and stress reduction go hand in hand in my hypnotherapy practice. Over many years a majority of my clients shared their observations concerning a reduction in their stress level, when in fact we were focused on other issues. Their reporting caused me to integrate stress education and stress management training into my practice of hypnotherapy at no additional cost to my clients. I began doing so more than 20 years ago. It wasn't long before I was teaching stress management workshops to licensed therapists throughout California, and the same as an adjunct professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at California State University Northridge. I am passionate about helping others learn to manage their stress through education, hypnotherapy, and self-hypnosis.

Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I have found that one of the greatest contributors to stress is in over-extending ourselves. We live in a society that values productivity and "staying busy". There is so much value in slowing down, in checking in with ourselves, in engaging in mindfulness. I will work with you on creating more balance so that you can reclaim your life, your mind, and your energy.

Some days just seem like too much to manage and you don’t know how to move forward. The stress of daily life – your job, responsibilities at home, and managing your relationships takes all the time you have. You either have no time left for yourself and are so stressed and exhausted you are not able to enjoy what time is left for you.
Using guided meditation and hypnotherapy, I help you access your own inner wisdom and find the stillness within yourself as a resource for navigating life more naturally and effortlessly. Together we will discover how to work through stress and find a more balanced experience of life.

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!

Chris Doorley
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
In our culture, stress gets demonized too often. While acute and chronic stress are both unhealthy, situational stress can sometimes fuel growth and change. We will be exploring mindfulness— watchful awareness grounded in a practice of non-reactivity— to build stress tolerance when needed, and to strengthen boundaries when chosen.
