Stress
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.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Our world is so stressful and impacts our systems on all levels-bodily, relational, communal, familial. Work to understand the signs and sources of stress and how to navigate those can be very important to shedding the negative implications of navigating toxic systems and environments and how those can come to impair and disable healthy functioning. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion can particularly inform this work as does right action such boundary setting and bolstering communication.

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.

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.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Although stress in life seems like a given, we're not often taught how to reduce or effectively manage it's (very real) impact--or sometimes we're faced with a new set of challenges that exceed our usual attempts to cope. Learning more about how your unique nervous system works can help you evaluate, navigate, and cope more effectively so that you can find more ease and joy in life.

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.

Stress
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Stress can have you feeling burned out, on edge, anxious, irritable or highly reactive. Whatever the cause, especially when there are multiple sources of stress, your nervous system can chronically burn on overdrive, disrupting your sleep and interfering in relationships, job performance and life satisfaction. Even with multiple sources of pressure on you, therapy can help you learn to create external boundaries by limiting what you take on, and internal boundaries by holding all that pressure at arms length, and managing stress in ways that allow you to access a sense of calm in the storm. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you manage stress and build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Each area and stage of life has stressors. Some of us are resilient at one point and not so much at another. Or, we can feel that stress abounds in all areas and we just can't seem to get a handle on it, calm our nervous system and become easily overwhelmed. High stress is related to a great number of health issues and negative outcomes. If you are experiencing stress in one or many areas, let's talk it through, determine what is reasonable and what is within your control and make the changes necessary to reduce the amount and/or duration of the experience.

Stress
Shannon Gorres
Life Coach, MDiv, MA
Hello! While I may not know your unique stress, I do know how that humans have the capacity to break through the chains of stressful situations with clarity and commitment to their best selves. Even if we don't achieve the exact goal we want, we can learn to live with our culture's chronic stress in softer ways. We can leave victimhood and empower ourselves to find solace within.
I faced seasons that tested everything I thought I knew. Healing from a narcissistic relationship, navigating a challenging postpartum year, grieving the loss of my mother, and embracing unexpected changes in identity all stressed me out greatly. These experiences, combined with years of dedicated study and personal reflection, have deepened both my compassion and my understanding of the healing process. We can lessen stress when we get really honest about what we cannot control and what we do have choices about. It's hard to face, so let's face it together and find some peace.

Stress
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.
