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.

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.

Dr. Sam Macy

The symptoms of stress and burnout are multifaceted, and can even lead to clinical depression and anxiety. I help clients take a broad inventory of the precipitants and exacerbating factors of stress so that we can collaboratively develop a plan to make life more manageable.

Summer Stewart, PsyD
Pre-Licensed Professional, PsyD
Feeling overwhelmed and stretched too thin? When stress piles up, it can feel like you’re just barely getting through the day—juggling everything and still feeling like it’s not enough. Your mind is racing, your body’s tense, and there’s no space to just breathe. Therapy can help you slow down, set boundaries, and find better ways to cope. Together, we’ll create space for you to feel more balanced, present, and in control again. You don’t have to carry it all alone

Nicole Houde
Pre-Licensed Professional
I work with individuals experiencing stress by helping them identify the internal and external factors that contribute to feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin. Stress can affect mood, sleep, focus, relationships, and overall well-being, especially when it builds over time without effective coping strategies. In therapy, we focus on developing practical tools to manage daily stressors, improve emotional regulation, and create more balance in your routine. I incorporate CBT and DBT-based strategies to support problem-solving, boundary setting, and building healthier responses to stress while increasing your overall sense of control and stability.

Dr. Evelyn Comber
Psychologist, L.C.P.C., Ph.D., M.A., M.P.C., M.H.S., B.G.S.
Stress is inevitable. Some stress (eustress) is even necessary. However distress is not. If you are experiencing stress to the point that it is affecting you physically, emotionally, intellectually, cognitively - and it's time to do something about it call me. I can help reduce your feelings of stress, provide you with information, give you some "tricks" for dealing with stress. Just pick up the phone and call.

Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Stress can build quietly over time or feel constant and overwhelming, impacting your mood, energy, focus, and overall well-being. I support clients in identifying the sources of stress in their lives while also exploring how they respond to pressure, expectations, and daily demands. In our work together, we focus on developing practical coping tools, improving emotional regulation, and creating healthier balance and boundaries. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control of your day-to-day life, even when circumstances feel demanding or uncertain.

Michael Losoff
Psychologist, PhD
Michael views stress not just as a busy schedule, but as a cumulative strain on the self that often signals a disconnect between your daily demands and your internal needs.
Stress is frequently treated as an unavoidable byproduct of a productive life, yet when it becomes chronic, it often masks a deeper "thinning" of our resilience and sense of self. With 35 years of experience, Michael helps clients move beyond temporary relaxation techniques to explore the relational and systemic pressures that fuel persistent tension. By looking at the "unconscious scripts" that drive you to over-extend or neglect your own boundaries, he helps you identify the root causes of your burnout. The goal is to shift from a state of constant "doing" and reactive survival toward a more balanced way of being that honors both your professional ambitions and your personal well-being.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Stress is a normal, useful response to life; it’s the survival mechanism that helps us grow, learn and succeed. Distress is the negative impact of prolonged, severe, and unmanaged stress. Together we will co-create tools to abate and dispel your distress while capitalizing on good stress. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement therapy work; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. Taking a 5Ps approach to stress management, together we can explore your "perception" of your current stressors; gain "perspective" on the origins and instigators of your stress and on how you’d prefer to feel in the future; "prioritize" manageable and sustainable steps toward this future; ensure they are aligned with your professional and personal "purpose"; and put into "practice" the tools and behaviors to get you to that positive stress level.

Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults under chronic, high-functioning stress, professionals and scientists managing demanding careers who look capable on the outside while running on empty internally. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify what's driving your stress response and build practical, sustainable ways to manage it, rather than just pushing through. Many of my clients are also navigating career disruption, immigration, or the particular pressure of being a first-generation professional. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

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.

Bamboo Center for Grief, Growth, & Well-being
Psychologist, PsyD
LIVE WITH MORE EASE, FOCUS, AND FULFILLMENT
Change, even positive change, can be stressful and difficult. That’s why we take an integrative, holistic, and companioning approach in life transitions therapy. Companioning consists of walking with clients, rather than “treating” them as if there is something pathological happening. As we move through the therapeutic process, you will be able to identify your strengths, acknowledge your incredible resilience, and learn skills to reduce your sense of stress and tension. This often leads to increased self-confidence, a sense of peace, and greater ease – all of which will help you move forward with optimism and courage.
