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.

David Oretsky Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
As a licensed therapist specializing in stress and anxiety, I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate these often overwhelming experiences. Stress and anxiety can significantly impact our daily lives, but with the right tools and therapeutic approaches, they can be managed effectively. My therapeutic style is rooted in mindfulness-based approaches that encourage a stronger connection between mind and body, cultivating a greater awareness and acceptance of thoughts and feelings as they arise.
I provide a safe, empathetic, and non-judgmental environment, allowing for exploration of your unique experiences and concerns. Together, we will work towards understanding the triggers and patterns of your anxiety and stress, and develop strategies for managing them in a healthier way. The mindfulness-based techniques we explore can help you cultivate a sense of inner calm, improve focus, and enhance your ability to respond rather than react to stressful situations.
My commitment is to support you in this journey towards greater mental health, helping you find a sense of balance and peace amidst life's challenges. Remember, seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. I look forward to assisting you on your path towards greater resilience and wellbeing.

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.

Louise Perry
Registered Psychotherapist, IFS UKCP HCCP BAAT
I work with adults experiencing ongoing stress, including feeling overextended, pressured, or caught in persistent states of alertness and responsibility. Stress often develops as a response to competing demands, long-standing expectations, and internal pressures, rather than as a single problem to be solved.
My work draws on Integrative Art Psychotherapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS), offering ways to explore how stress is organised internally and what responses it triggers over time. Rather than focusing on stress management techniques, sessions centre on understanding the patterns, beliefs, and roles that keep stress in place. We may work through conversation, creative exploration, or a combination of both, depending on what feels most useful.

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!

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.

Jean-Marie Bottequin
Life Coach, WAPP
How do you deal with stress?
We feel stress whenever we have the feeling of losing control. When we think we cannot cope with the amount of work, when something unforeseeable thwarts our plans or when the demands placed on us are too high etc. - then stress always arises.
Created by fear of possible catastrophes, of failure or of not being able to do something, stress drives our adrenaline levels up. This costs the body an enormous amount of energy and in the long run can even make us seriously ill.
A study by Harvard University has now found that employees with personnel responsibility are on average less stressed. The control you gain through more responsibility apparently outweighs the stress. This means that the more we relinquish control and feel out of control, the more we feel stressed.

Timothy Walker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is everywhere! In the news! Social media! Our commute! Finances! Our relationships! And stress has a nasty habit of multiplying exponentially, seemingly no matter what we do. Focus on the stress and the stress sometimes grows. Ignore the stress and it grows. What to do? How to win? The questions seem unanswerable, and yet, with dialogue and exploration, solutions can be find.

Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress touches every part of life, and it can leave you feeling wired, exhausted, and like you’re never really off-duty. In our work together, we slow down and listen to the “parts” of you that are overworking, worrying, caregiving, or bracing for the next crisis, using Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and somatic presence to help your body and mind come out of constant fight‑or‑flight. As you learn to recognize your limits, honor your needs, and soften long‑held patterns, stress becomes more manageable, and you can experience more ease, clarity, and moments of real rest in your everyday life.

Janice Shapiro
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
One of my specialties combines canine massage with psychotherapy. This is an animal-assisted psychotherapy that relieves your stress, anxiety and depression as you massage your dog. The key is that you are doing something outside yourself for your beloved pet as well as for yourself at the same time. During the massage the oxytocin (the well-being hormone) is increased and cortisol (the stress hormone) is reduced for both you and your dog.
I am the originator of this unique therapy as I call it Janice's Rotary Canine Massage.
