Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I know from experience the toll that stress and burnout can take on your well-being, and how difficult it can be to even imagine realistic change. If you're feeling burned out, we'll take a step back and look at your values - the important parts of your life that bring you meaning. Then we'll examine where there might be a mismatch and find areas where there might be potential for change. This could involve increasing your engagement in other activities that fulfill you, removing yourself from a situation or environment that depletes you, strategically engaging with your support network, or other strategies that fit your personal experience. I don't take big decisions lightly, and if considering a major change we'll check in throughout to ensure the steps you're taking are value-consistent and take into account the full context of your needs.

Maria T. Alonso, Ph.D.
Psychologist
In psychotherapy, when working with clients dealing with stress, I rely on evidence-based interventions to help them manage and reduce their stress levels effectively. I often use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and challenge negative thought patterns and develop healthier ways of thinking and behaving. Additionally, I incorporate stress management techniques such as relaxation exercises and mindfulness practices to help clients build resilience and cope with stress in a more balanced way. By combining these strategies with practical problem-solving skills, I support clients in creating actionable plans to address their stressors and develop adaptive coping mechanisms. My goal is to empower clients to gain control over their stress and enhance their overall well-being, providing them with the tools and insights needed to lead a more manageable and fulfilling life.

I work with individuals experiencing stress by helping them identify the internal and external factors that contribute to feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Stress can stem from success, responsibility, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Whether you're managing professional burnout, caregiving demands, or the cumulative toll of perfectionism and overcommitment, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you recalibrate and restore balance.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Behavioral Activation to address both the physiological and psychological dimensions of stress. We’ll identify the patterns that drive chronic tension, explore values-based decision-making, and develop practical tools to reduce overwhelm and increase resilience. For clients navigating high-stakes environments, I also offer strategic support for workflow optimization, sleep hygiene, and emotional regulation.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly managing stress behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term sustainability.

Chris Scarberry
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
As a therapist, I often treat anxiety and do trauma work as well, so I address PTSD as well as other disorders which can involve panic attacks, rumination, muscle tension, poor sleep/nightmares, and generalized anxiety. Some of my clients meet full criteria for anxiety disorders and some experience stress but do not have anxiety disorders. I am well-versed in helping both people with long-term anxiety symptoms and trauma as well as adjustment issues related to stressful situations, toxic work environments, family changes, financial concerns and the like. Everyone who experiences stress and/or anxiety symptoms wants a combination of short-term relief and to experience a lesser degree of symptoms in the long-term. As such, I use evidence based practices like CBT and DBT interventions to help people reduce their symptoms and evaluate their current circumstances in order to feel less anxious, have a greater ability to be present and relax, and have restful sleep.

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.
