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.

Pamela Brewer
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, Ph.D, LCSW-C,DCSW
Learning to identify stressors and ways to think about or manage or reduce or eliminate is a journey we can walk together. Part of stress management is limit setting - the thought of limit setting can , itself, feel stressful. But! You can choose how you wish to get to the place where your stress is lessened - and your emotional/physical/social health is improved.

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.

Lauro Guzman
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LCSW
Stress is the body's reaction to challenging situations. Stress can be caused by positive or negative life changes, and it can lead to physical and psychological issues. Stress can manifest itself in different ways, including excessive worrying, inability to sleep at night. I work with therapy clients to help better manage and overcome it.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life is always in flux. And sometimes major life events can disrupt our equilibrium. Relocations, breakups, new family structure, career shifts, loss, health issues, and educational pursuits are just a few of the many changes that can leave us feeling unsettled, disoriented, and off-track. No matter which season of life you are in, we will explore the aspects of your transition that feel particularly challenging and work to help you acclimate, embrace, or perhaps even reevaluate this next chapter in your story.

Jennifer L Abel
Psychologist, Ph.D.
We all have stress. I differentiate between stressors (things in our lives that can cause varying degrees of stress) and stress (how we actually respond to that stress). To overly simplify - we will first help you to deal with stress but if that stress can't be managed to your liking, it may be time to change the stressor (job, relationship, neighborhood, etc)

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
Stress is an undeniable and unavoidable part of life. So trying to avoid stressful situations entirely is not a good solution. But what we can do is learn to manage stress effectively. This can involve learning some of the many stress management techniques, of course, but it also needs to involve a shift in what we could call mental attitude, approach, or even how we habitually tend to perceive reality. When I work with people who are often stressed, I am very interested in helping them to understand how their habits of perceiving reality contribute to their feelings of stress and overwhelm. Once this is understood, stress management becomes much easier.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. While many of us strive to get rid of our stress, research in psychology shows that a life without stress if fairly boring. I enjoy helping my clients reframe some of their stressors as challenges, learning how to deal with these challenges, and having success stories to lean back on to feel inherently good about themselves. If you live in a state of constant stress, we need to re-calibrate you so your body isn't constantly swimming in cortisol!
