Stress
Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may be managing a lot; work, relationships, responsibilities, and still feel like it’s never enough or that you can’t slow down. Many clients come in feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted, constantly “on,” and unsure how to truly rest without guilt. In therapy, we’ll look at both the external demands and the internal pressures driving your stress. Together, we’ll create space for balance, boundaries, and a way of functioning that feels more sustainable.

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.

Stress
Dr. Ingrid Solano
Psychologist, PhD
I work with both adults and adolescents on an individual basis. Individual psychotherapy helps clients deal with particular issues, symptoms, and stressors. My goal is to provide a safe, non judgmental space for you to explore who you are, how you relate to others, and what supports you on your journey to become your best self. I lean into, listen, understand, and enhance authentic expression. Together we create a collaborative process of transformation. What that means and what that looks like is different for everyone...
I offer evidence-based therapies from a curious, nonjudgmental philosophy. No matter where you have been, evidence-based therapies focus on changing the now. I strive to help my clients experience the world mindfully, and in accordance with their personal values. Through our work in cultivating an affirming, authentic, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, I provide support while we collaboratively deconstruct what is causing distress in your life and preventing you from being your most effective and authentic self. Individual therapy facilitates insight and growth, becoming more effective at actualizing your values, and building more authentic relationships with yourself and with others.
While there are many forms of therapy you can pursue, my expertise is in time-limited, evidence-based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapies (CBT), the Unified Protocol for emotional disorders, and third wave CBT such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness based interventions. (I do have experience in, and practice, an eclectic arrangement of other modalities as well-- when applicable or specifically requested.) We explore thoughts, beliefs, and understanding, while also prioritizing behavioral processes that focus on your contexts and the functions of how you relate to your internal experiences. CBT is designed to help individuals notice and shift their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in order to get relief from painful emotions such as anxiety and sadness.
Third wave interventions also promote well-being through developing coping skills, personal values, and metacognition that complement traditional CBT interventions. I provide flexible, customizable approaches that look different with each patient. I empower my clients to discover their strength, clarity, creativity, autonomy, resilience, motivation, and confidence in meeting whatever happens next. I provide individualized tools to use in everyday decision-making that will help those changes last. With these modalities I treat individuals who are impacted by depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship distress, burnout, divorce, loss, uncertainty, stigma, and other life experiences, diagnoses, and stressors. We explore the sources, experiences, and beliefs that impact how you relate with the world and implement change in your life. You are the expert on you, but are you your most effective and content self?

Christina Dee
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A. LMFT
We all get lost in the dense forest of our lives, entangled in incessant worry and planning, in judgments of others, and in our busy striving to meet demands and solve problems.Subtle shifts of my mindset can make an indelible impression on the world around me. When we slow down and start paying attention to ourselves in a deeper, different way, that’s really where change can happen. Together we can explore ways to extend and strengthen the quiet periods of the mind to invite more awareness into your physical being in the present moment.

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.

I specialize in supporting highly sensitive and growth-oriented individuals who have struggled to find their way, or have endeavored to do so in spite of great obstacles.

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.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic stress can gradually affect emotional wellbeing, physical health, relationships, concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Many individuals experiencing ongoing stress feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or unable to fully recover from the constant demands and pressures of daily life.
I help clients better understand the emotional, behavioral, relational, and environmental factors contributing to stress while developing healthier coping strategies and greater psychological resilience. Therapy focuses not only on symptom management, but also on creating more sustainable patterns related to work, relationships, boundaries, self-care, emotional regulation, and overall life balance.

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

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.

Jennifer Canu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress and anxiety are close cousins. Without either, much wouldn't get done. However sometimes stress becomes overwhelming and unrelenting, turning into toxic stress and even leading to trauma responses. I utilize an integrated approach incorporating parts work, EMDR therapy, mindfulness and CBT to help clients explore parts of them triggered by the stressors, meet needs and access empowerment to affect change where needed in one's life.
