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.

Monica Grey
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC
Stress isn't just something you push through — when it becomes constant, it rewires how you think, how you sleep, and how you show up in your relationships and work. I help adults who are carrying more than they can manage — whether it's professional pressure, caregiving demands, life transitions, or the kind of invisible daily load that builds up until everything feels like too much. Together, we identify what's fueling the overwhelm and build realistic strategies to restore a sense of balance. My approach is structured and practical: you'll walk away from each session with something you can use immediately.

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.

Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, LCPC, LPCC
The modern world's relentless demands create unprecedented levels of chronic stress that our bodies and minds weren't designed to manage indefinitely. I help clients develop personalized stress management systems that address both external factors (the barrage of information, attention hijacking technologies, and competing priorities) and internal responses. Through clinical hypnosis and evidence-based therapeutic techniques, clients learn to distinguish between productive and unproductive stress while developing practical tools for nervous system regulation. Our work often includes redefining personal success metrics to align with wellbeing rather than exhaustion—creating sustainable approaches to life's inevitable pressures.

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.
