Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
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.

Stress
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.

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!

Stress and anxiety can be the same but not always. Stress is usually a result of life circumstances and to manage it, there are many coping skills that can be used and implemented to improve stress and enjoy life more.

Stress
Damon Dodge
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic stress often results from attempting to manage too many variables simultaneously while neglecting self-care fundamentals. I help clients identify which stressors deserve their energy and which are outside their control. We examine current coping strategies, develop sustainable stress management approaches, and create boundaries that protect your wellbeing. The goal is building resilience without sacrificing performance or personal values.

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.

Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Stress is a part of living life. However, it becomes a problem when the stress level increases to the point that an individual cannot handle it effectively. The increased stress level can affect physical and mental health negatively. Learning to manage stress through the discussion of the life events that triggered the elevated level of stress in therapy can help clients to be more effective at managing stressful situations that they are dealing with. When you feel stressed, it is often the way our body is telling us that there is a problem. So, it would be wise and necessary to get help from professionals to prevent the worsening of unpleasant or disabling symptoms of stress in one's life.

Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Stress is a normal part of being human; the problem is when it becomes chronic. Thanks to "hustle culture" & #riseandgrind, we're experiencing another epidemic in our society--most of us are burnt-the F-out. While some degree of stress is undoubtedly adaptive and necessary, we aren't wired to work 60+ hours a week & be constantly available to, well, everyone. We're expected to do more (at work & at home) with less support, time, and resources. We will work together to identify sources of stress in your life & better understand the purpose it's serving.

Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Stress is not necessarily negative as it leads to creation and problem solving. It can also lead to overwhelm, getting stuck or being immobilized even being non functional. Therapy can focus on the reasons for the stress both concrete, understood and not understood. In determining that, solutions can be formulated to address what is not working.

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.
