Dr. Jeannine Pablo
Psychologist, LP, LCMHC, MLADC
Chronic stress can severely dysregulate the nervous system, leading to physical exhaustion, cognitive fatigue, and clinical burnout. Utilizing evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and somatic grounding techniques, I help individuals identify their primary systemic stressors and maladaptive coping patterns. Our clinical work focuses on restoring nervous system regulation, establishing rigid professional and personal boundaries, and building resilient cognitive frameworks to manage acute and chronic pressures.

Tal Brafford
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LCMHC-A
I approach stress management through an anti-capitalistic, anti-colonial, and feminist framework. I believe stress is a perfectly normal response to the way our society is rewarding individualism, materialism, and poor boundaries, particularly with work. I enjoy helping clients find their way back to joy while providing practical, evidence-based stress management skills.

Dr. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Stress doesn’t always show up as chaos—it often looks like competence. You’re juggling deadlines, relationships, responsibilities, and expectations… and holding it all together, until you’re not. Whether you’re managing a major life transition, navigating burnout, stuck in a cycle of perfectionism, or just stretched too thin by the pace and pressure of everyday life, chronic stress can leave you feeling disconnected, depleted, and overwhelmed.
I work with high-achieving adults and emerging professionals—including neurodivergent clients and those holding marginalized identities—who carry invisible layers of stress. You might be masking exhaustion, pushing through burnout, or navigating the emotional toll of systems that weren’t built with you in mind. The pressure to show up flawlessly in environments that judge you based on race, gender, sexuality, ability, or productivity can quietly erode your well-being, even as you outwardly keep performing.
At The Momentum Practice, I help clients move beyond just “coping” and toward meaningful, sustainable change. We’ll explore what’s fueling your stress—not just your to-do list, but the internal and external forces behind it. That might include unrealistic standards, people-pleasing, financial strain, systemic stress, or the weight of decisions that don’t have easy answers.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a space to pause, rest, and reconnect—not just with what’s depleting you, but with what brings you energy, joy, and purpose. Together, we’ll build insight, challenge the patterns keeping you stuck, and practice tools that support your nervous system—not just your productivity. If you’re ready to feel more centered, free, and fulfilled—I’d be honored to journey alongside you. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!

Erikka Cole
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D
Stress is one of those things we're all supposed to just manage, but what happens when you're past the point of manageable? Chronic stress affects your body, your relationships, your sleep, and your sense of self. We help clients slow down enough to understand what's actually driving the overwhelm, and build real tools for responding to life's pressures without burning out.

Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with stress in various aspects of their lives. This may be stress at work or school, in their social lives or significant relationships, or with decisions they need to make. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.

Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in stress management, my approach to treatment is focused on empowering individuals to build resilience and develop effective coping strategies. Through evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), and relaxation techniques, I help clients identify sources of stress, challenge negative thought patterns, and learn to respond to stressors in healthier ways. By cultivating self-awareness and teaching skills such as time management, problem-solving, and assertive communication, I support individuals in managing their stressors proactively. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-care practices, such as regular exercise, adequate sleep, and engaging in activities that bring joy and fulfillment. My goal is to equip individuals with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges with greater ease, resilience, and overall 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.

Psychworks Clinic
Psychologist, PHD
Stress is a part of life, but it doesn’t have to run your life. At PsychWorks Clinic, we help clients understand the roots of their stress and learn healthier ways to cope, recover, and reset.

Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing, we teach practical tools for managing overwhelm, setting boundaries, and building resilience. We believe stress can be a signal, not of failure, but of the need to slow down, realign, and care for yourself differently. Together, we’ll work toward restoring calm, clarity, and control in your daily life.
