Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Stress often isn’t just happening in your mind—it lives in the body. Many people come to therapy feeling tense, exhausted, or stuck in a constant state of urgency, even when they know they’re “safe.” In my work with stress, I focus on helping the nervous system settle, not just talking through the problem. When the body stays on high alert, insight alone isn’t enough; we need ways to help your system feel grounded again.
I use emotion-focused tapping (EFT) and gentle somatic, body-based practices to help release stored tension and calm overwhelm. These approaches work by bringing awareness to physical sensations, emotions, and stress responses in real time—allowing your body to reset rather than power through. Over time, clients often notice they feel more present, less reactive, and better able to handle daily pressures without burning out. Therapy becomes a place where stress is met with relief, safety, and real restoration—not just coping.

Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Chronic stress doesn't just exhaust the mind—it live-wires the nervous system, leading to physical fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and severe burnout. If you feel like you are constantly operating in "survival mode," Anne provides a warm, restorative, and collaborative space to help you hit the pause button. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a certified specialist in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she partners with individuals to unpack the roots of their chronic stress and build reliable, daily practices to regain a sense of calm and control.
By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques, she helps clients bypass the intellectual overthinking that keeps stress trapped in the body. Together, you will develop sustainable boundaries, learn somatic grounding tools, and change how you react to pressure. Whether your stress is driven by high-functioning anxiety, professional burnout, a new medical diagnosis, deep grief, or the overwhelming "invisible load" of the parenting and perinatal journey, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from a state of constant depletion to resilient, balanced living.

Dr. Jenny Shields
Psychologist
You’re the person everyone else leans on—the fixer, the reliable one, the person who can keep 47 plates spinning even when everything feels like it’s on fire. But the stress you carry quietly can feel incredibly heavy, even if you don’t always let it show. Dr. Shields understands that pressure firsthand—she’s walked through the fire herself. Blending evidence-based approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and practical, honest-to-goodness boundary-setting, she’ll help you figure out what’s fueling your stress, how to genuinely lower the volume on it, and (finally!) let yourself exhale and feel like you again.

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.

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.

Tim Jenkins
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
A good definition of stress is a difference between what you expect to happen and what actually happens.
But what about when you have a thing that you expect. Something that is dreadful or that you dread having in front of you in your life's path? Painful? Certainly. This becomes a management picture. It is about getting through this time with as little damage as possible and with as much self esteem and well being as we can muster. Dont go through this alone.
