Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Some stress is useful. It sharpens focus, drives performance, and keeps you engaged with what matters. But when stress becomes chronic, when it stops being situational and starts being the baseline, it takes a real toll. Sleep suffers. Relationships strain. Physical health declines. The things you used to enjoy start feeling like obligations, and the ability to be present for any of it gets harder to access.
For many of the men I work with, stress is not coming from one place. It is the accumulation of professional pressure, financial responsibility, relationship demands, parenting, and the expectation to manage all of it without showing the strain. That kind of load does not resolve on its own. It builds.
Therapy for stress is not about eliminating pressure from your life. It is about changing your relationship to it. That means identifying what is actually driving the stress, understanding the physical and behavioral patterns that keep you stuck in it, and building practical tools for managing it more effectively. We look at boundaries, priorities, communication patterns, and the beliefs that make it difficult to slow down or ask for help.
My approach is direct and results oriented. I help clients cut through the noise, get clear on what is most important, and develop sustainable habits that create more space and less friction in daily life. The goal is not just to feel less stressed. It is to function better, think more clearly, and show up the way you want to in the areas that matter most.
If stress has become your default setting and you are ready to change that, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.

Dr. Lois Horowitz
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Ph.D., LCSW
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s normal to experience a mix of emotions—like anxiety, fear, anger, sadness, or frustration. Over time, these feelings can build up, sometimes leading to physical symptoms and making it even harder to cope.
Through psychotherapy, we can work together to understand what’s causing your stress and develop healthier ways to manage it, so you can feel more grounded, supported, and in control.

Jonathan Schnapp
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress can build gradually or arrive all at once—showing up as tension, irritability, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of being constantly “on edge.” In therapy, we’ll look at both the external pressures you’re facing and how you’re responding to them internally. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s driving the stress, identify patterns that may be adding to it, and develop ways of relating to these demands that feel more manageable—so you can move through your day with greater clarity, steadiness, and a sense of control.

Megan Shurtleff
Counselor/Therapist, LSW
Stress can become crippling if you do not have an outlet and a plan in place when long-term triggers of stress come up in day to day life. Behavioral therapy tends to work best for determining the triggers and planning individualized self care methods that can be introduced to handle these things without burning yourself out.

Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
We're in America 2025 (soon to be 2026), life is feeling pretty stressful for a lot of folks. That does not mean we need to just "accept" that "that's the way it is". We can work together to explore your stress, see what can be changed and what cannot be, and then move forward with ways to either execute those changes, or find ways to cope with aspects of your life that cannot be changed. Stress can be managed, and does not have to feel all-consuming.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Our world is so stressful and impacts our systems on all levels-bodily, relational, communal, familial. Work to understand the signs and sources of stress and how to navigate those can be very important to shedding the negative implications of navigating toxic systems and environments and how those can come to impair and disable healthy functioning. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion can particularly inform this work as does right action such boundary setting and bolstering communication.

Dr. Qatana Samanen
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I help my clients learn stress management habits to effectively manage their stress.
Together we identify the sources of stress in your life, both external and internal. You then pinpoint which of your external stressors can be reduced or eliminated and we develop plans to achieve that.
You actually have much more control over the thoughts and feelings that contribute to your stress than you do the external stressors. We first identify these attitudes and beliefs. We then develop strategies you can use to challenge these habitual ways of thinking and transform them into more positive beliefs. As you learn to substitute positive patterns of thinking for the belief systems that created stress, you enjoy a calmer and more satisfying life.

Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I work with clients experiencing high levels of stress, overwhelm, and burnout- often individuals who are managing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and internal pressure to keep everything together. Stress can build gradually over time or show up suddenly during periods of transition, leaving people feeling emotionally drained, anxious, irritable, or disconnected from themselves.
Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning and outwardly capable, yet internally struggling with exhaustion, pressure, and difficulty slowing down. Stress can begin to affect sleep, relationships, concentration, and overall sense of wellbeing, making it harder to feel present or grounded in daily life.
In therapy, we work together to understand both the external demands and internal patterns that contribute to stress. This includes exploring perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and difficulty setting boundaries, as well as identifying what your mind and body need in order to feel more regulated and supported.
I integrate practical coping tools with deeper emotional insight, helping clients not only manage stress in the moment but also shift long-standing patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of overwhelm. My goal is to help you feel more balanced, resourced, and able to move through life with greater ease, clarity, and self-compassion.

Dr. Heidi Anderson Sauder
Psychologist, PhD, CGT, CST
Stress can affect every part of a relationship, often leading to increased conflict, emotional distance, communication difficulties, and feelings of overwhelm. Gottman Method couples therapy helps partners better understand how stress impacts both the individual and the relationship dynamic while strengthening emotional connection and support. Using evidence-based tools, like the 20-minute stress reducing conversation, couples learn healthier ways to communicate during stressful periods, manage conflict effectively, and respond to one another with greater empathy and understanding. Therapy focuses on helping couples feel more connected, resilient, and supported as they navigate the pressures of daily life together.

Kaijah Bjorklund
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LMHC
Stress becomes a problem when the off switch stops working — when you're always running, always behind, always managing, and your body has forgotten what it feels like to truly rest. Chronic stress wears down the nervous system, contributes to anxiety and depression, and chips away at your relationships and sense of self over time. I help clients understand what's driving their stress at a deeper level, develop nervous system regulation skills that actually work, and build a more sustainable way of living — one where you're not perpetually running on empty.
