Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Stress is a natural response, but when it becomes chronic it can affect focus, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Many people understand the sources of their stress yet still feel stuck in patterns of tension, overwhelm, or constant mental pressure. These responses are often reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to stress reduction is personalized and practical. Through hypnosis, we focus on helping the nervous system settle, reducing habitual stress reactions, and developing healthier responses to everyday demands. Each session is tailored to the individual rather than using scripted techniques, allowing the work to address both emotional and physiological components of stress.
Clients often seek hypnosis for work-related stress, caregiver stress, life transitions, or ongoing mental fatigue. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that helps clients remain aware and in control while learning to respond to stress with greater calm, clarity, and resilience.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help restore balance, focus, and emotional well-being.

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.

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.

Julie Cochrane - Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) Therapist
Hypnotherapist, Clinical Hypnotherapist, RTT-T, Rewind Therapy Practitioner, Integration Coaching
Chronic stress is what happens when the system stays in alert mode long after the original threat has passed. Often the root is not the current workload at all. It is a much older pattern of needing to be on, needing to anticipate, needing to hold everything together. RTT works at that root layer. Once the underlying drivers update, the nervous system can finally come off high alert. Clients often report sleeping better, breathing more easily and feeling more space between themselves and the demands of daily life. The work is online via Zoom and complements any stress management practice you already have in place.

Clear Path Counseling and Wellness Center
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA. LPC
Brad provides trauma-informed counseling for stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship or family challenges. These difficulties can affect every area of life, including emotional well-being, physical health, work performance, relationships, and overall sense of stability and fulfillment.
Brad takes a holistic and trauma-focused approach to therapy, helping clients understand and address the underlying emotional, psychological, and life experiences that may be contributing to distress. Rather than focusing only on symptom management, therapy works to identify root causes and develop lasting change that supports emotional balance and improved daily functioning.
As an experienced trauma therapist and EMDR therapist, Brad integrates EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), trauma-informed counseling, emotional regulation strategies, and holistic therapeutic approaches to help clients process past experiences, reduce emotional reactivity, and build healthier coping patterns. Therapy is designed to support both immediate relief and long-term healing.
Clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or as though stress and anxiety are controlling their lives. Brad’s approach focuses on helping clients regain a sense of control, build resilience, and develop practical tools to manage emotional challenges more effectively. The goal is to shift from feeling managed by stress to feeling grounded, capable, and in control of one’s life.
Therapy is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to each individual’s needs and goals. Brad works with clients to create meaningful, sustainable changes that improve relationships, strengthen emotional well-being, and support a more balanced and fulfilling life.
Healing is possible. With the right support, clients can move beyond chronic stress and emotional overwhelm and build a life characterized by greater clarity, stability, and purpose.

In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.
