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.

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.

Wendy Jensen LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Hypnotherapist, Diplomate Comprehensive Energy Psychology
Nearly half of women report a rise in stress levels over the past five years. And while women and men tend to cope with stress differently, we know that chronic stress contributes to a range of health problems in both sexes, including mental health disorders, heart disease and obesity, depression, anxiety, low sex drive, memory and concentration problems, headaches, upset stomach, lack of focus, lack of energy and mood swings.
Stress can be a motivator, and it can even be essential to survival. The body’s fight-or-flight mechanism tells a person when and how to respond to danger. However, when the body becomes triggered too easily, or there are too many stressors at one time, it can undermine a person’s mental and physical health and become harmful.
Stress is the body’s natural defense against predators and danger. It causes the body to flood with hormones that prepare its systems to evade or confront danger. People commonly refer to this as the fight-or-flight mechanism.
Managing stress calls for addressing the mind as well as the body, since both the brain and body contribute to symptoms. In my practice, I employ a variety of stress busting techniques derived from energy psychology including acupoint tapping, EMDR, Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), guided meditation and exercises such as tai chi and qi gong movements meant to disapate stuck energy from the body.

Soma Aloia, SoulWork Somatics & Somatic Counseling
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LCST, HES
When stress becomes chronic, the nervous system can lose its natural rhythm of activation and rest. Together we'll identify the patterns contributing to stress while strengthening your capacity for regulation, resilience, and lasting well-being. Therapy emphasizes practices of slowing down and that rest is a sacred act. Self-care and inner safety for nervous system regulation are emphasized.

Dr. Michael Marossy
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic stress can gradually affect emotional wellbeing, physical health, relationships, concentration, sleep, and overall quality of life. Many individuals experiencing ongoing stress feel emotionally overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, irritable, disconnected, or unable to fully recover from the constant demands and pressures of daily life.
I help clients better understand the emotional, behavioral, relational, and environmental factors contributing to stress while developing healthier coping strategies and greater psychological resilience. Therapy focuses not only on symptom management, but also on creating more sustainable patterns related to work, relationships, boundaries, self-care, emotional regulation, and overall life balance.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When Stress Becomes Your Normal
You may be holding everything together — work, relationships, family — but inside, you feel stretched thin. Your mind is racing, your sleep is off, and no matter how much you get done, it never feels like enough. Maybe your body has started to show the strain too — headaches, fatigue, tension, or constant restlessness.
Stress is your body’s way of saying something needs care. When it becomes chronic, it can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected from what once brought joy.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you calm your nervous system and regain a sense of balance. Together, we’ll:
Identify the thoughts and habits that keep your stress cycle running
Build emotional tools to manage pressure without burning out
Learn how to pause and reset your body’s “threat mode” using neuroscience-based skills
Strengthen your boundaries and reconnect with what truly matters to you
Replace overthinking and self-criticism with clarity and confidence
Our work combines practical tools, humor, and self-compassion — because healing from stress isn’t about doing more, it’s about learning how to do less with more presence and peace.
I BELIEVE:
Your stress is not a personal failure — it’s a signal asking for understanding, not judgment.
Balance isn’t something you find; it’s something you build, moment by moment.
You can be both ambitious and grounded, productive and peaceful.
Boundaries are acts of self-respect, not selfishness.
You deserve a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and your own.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
With any chronic high-functioning behavior patterns comes with added stress and pressure. You may not "feel" stressed but you notice your body shows signs of it. Increased fatigue, frequent waking, 4 cups of coffee a day, body aches, the list goes on forever. Sure, we can chalk it up to living in a capitalistic society and our cultures emphasis on always doing something. Even with a culture we can't change, our bodies are screaming at us to listen. Your engine needs a break. I'm not asking you to throw in the towel on everything that stresses you out (if only)! I am asking you to slow down, recalibrate your nervous system, and figure out a routine that works for you. We'll map out your stress patterns, incorporate somatic practices that work for you, and identify what is worth keeping and what is not.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Chronic stress can affect every area of life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself. Many high-functioning individuals become so accustomed to operating in survival mode that stress begins to feel normal. Therapy can help you better understand your stress response, develop healthier coping strategies, and create more balance in your daily life.

Peaceful Warrior Wellness Services, LLC / Dr.Steven Ruiz Bettencourt, Psy.D.,LPC, Cht, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR
Stress is an internal event. It is the result of an overly activated fight/flight mechanism that has not had a chance to wind down and return to a pre-activated mental and emotional state. A stress response may include increased blood pressure, hormone levels (cortisol, epinephrine/norepinephrine), heart rate, racing thoughts, irritability, negative cognition, depression, anger, as well as the decrease of patience, feelings of well being, hope and positive cognition. Psychotherapy would focus on journaling, identifying triggers, meditation, mindfulness, bio-feedback referral, diet, regular exercise, weight management, getting enough sleep, EMDR, hypnosis, ect.

Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
Our work starts by acknowledging the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that may contribute to the problems that affect your quality of life and capacity to receive or engage in mental health care. Therapy is tailored to your preferences to minimize stressors and build skills for interacting more effectively with the outside world. The behaviors, emotions, relationship patterns, or self-beliefs that no longer work for you can be transformed, rather than pathologized by identifying external power imbalances that impede quality of life and highlighting the good intentions behind difficult interactions.

Hypnotherapist, Diploma in Clinical and Applied Hypnosis, Diploma in Life Coaching
Stress is a threat both to your body and mind. Hypnotherapy is an effective, evidence-based tool for treating stress and anxiety. It works by inducing deep relaxation, reducing cortisol (stress hormone) levels, and modifying subconscious thought patterns to improve coping mechanisms. It is often used to manage anxiety, panic, and stress-related physical symptoms.How Hypnotherapy Treats StressDeep Relaxation: It induces a state of calm that reduces physical symptoms of stress, such as muscle tension and elevated heart rate.Subconscious Reprogramming: It helps break negative thought patterns (e.g., catastrophizing) and replaces them with positive, constructive thoughts. Addressing Root Causes: Hypnotherapy can uncover and address subconscious triggers for stress and anxiety, offering long-term, lasting relief rather than just symptom management.
I help individuals with stress become resilient in no time. I use Dicit hyptherapy to help my clients to destress them. My clients with this issue are getting resilient in no time. They are now living a happy stress-free life. So should you.
