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.

Kristina Peck
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Modern life is full—often too full. Between work, relationships, family, health, and the constant buzz of the world around us, stress can pile up until you’re running on fumes and wondering how much longer you can keep juggling everything.
If you're feeling overwhelmed, on edge, or stuck in constant “go” mode, you're not alone—and you don’t have to white-knuckle your way through it. With nearly two decades of experience as a licensed psychologist, I help clients untangle the roots of their stress and find tools that actually work (and are sustainable, not just “take a bubble bath and hope for the best”).
I use a mix of mindfulness-based strategies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Polyvagal Theory, and compassion-focused approaches to help you slow down, breathe, and reconnect to what truly matters. Together, we’ll shift from just surviving to building a more grounded, intentional way of living—even when life is demanding.
You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to need support. And yes, you’re allowed to put yourself on your own to-do list.

Lora Proia/ Centered Village LLC Counseling & Therapy
Licensed Professional Counselor, NCC, LCPC, LPC
As a therapist specializing in stress counseling, I help clients identify the sources of overwhelm and develop practical, personalized strategies to restore balance. Stress can manifest in many ways—physical tension, racing thoughts, emotional exhaustion—and I work to untangle these layers with a blend of mindfulness, cognitive techniques, and nervous system regulation. My goal is to empower individuals to respond to life’s pressures with clarity and resilience, rather than burnout. Whether it’s work-related strain, life transitions, or chronic anxiety, I offer a space to pause, recalibrate, and move forward with strength.

Bergen Counseling Collective
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
You're holding too much. Work demands that never let up. Family responsibilities pulling you in multiple directions. The mental load of keeping everything running while trying to also take care of yourself, which keeps falling to the bottom of the list. You're not lazy. You're not failing. You're overwhelmed by a pace that isn't sustainable, and your body and mind are telling you something has to give. We help you identify what's actually driving the stress, where you have more control than you think, and how to build a life that doesn't require you to run on empty. Telehealth throughout Illinois.

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.

Phillip Thomas Stepka, PsyD.
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I don't describe myself so much as a talk therapist as a nervous system therapist. Stress, both chronic and short-term, can have substantial impacts on our health, relationships, and effectiveness. I primarily utilized approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and other stress reduction techniques to help better balance the relationship between your mind, nervous system, and the environment.

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.
