Jed Jacobson
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC
Work or interpersonal stress may be a sign of a change that needs to be made, or may be radio static from anxious parts. We'll work together to discern the message and act from a place of deeper understanding.

Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Stress often builds gradually until it becomes a constant background state — feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, mentally overactive, or unable to fully rest even when there is space to do so. Many people describe feeling like they are always “on,” managing responsibilities, emotions, and expectations without enough internal recovery time.
In therapy, we explore both the external pressures contributing to stress and the internal patterns that shape how you respond to it. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective, chronic stress is often connected to long-standing roles such as over-functioning, caretaking, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than focusing only on stress management techniques, this work also helps you understand what your nervous system is communicating through stress symptoms. Often, stress is a signal of unmet needs, accumulated emotional load, or disconnection from internal pacing and limits.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to notice the body-based experience of stress; the tightness, urgency, fatigue, or shutdown, and begin to relate to it with awareness rather than override it. This allows space for regulation and new internal choices to emerge.
Over time, clients often experience greater capacity to rest, clearer boundaries, and a more sustainable rhythm in daily life.

Tacoma Wellness Collective
Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Stress has a way of becoming the baseline. You adapt to it, build your life around it, and eventually stop noticing how much you're carrying — until your body reminds you.
The tension headaches. The sleep that doesn't restore. The short fuse you don't recognize in yourself. The feeling that you're always one thing away from the edge.
At TWC, we help adults understand what's driving the stress beneath the surface — not just the circumstances, but the beliefs, patterns, and nervous system responses that keep the pressure running even when life slows down. Because managing stress and understanding it are two very different things. We're interested in the latter.
You deserve more than coping. You deserve a life that doesn't require constant management just to get through.
When you're ready, we're here.

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.

Danielle Farabaugh
Psychologist, Psy.D.
My approach to treating stress is rooted in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop healthier ways of responding to challenging situations. Through use of practical techniques such as cognitive reframing, problem-solving, and relaxation strategies, clients learn to manage stress more effectively and build resilience. The goal is to create lasting changes that promote a greater sense of calm, balance, and control in daily life.

Bobby Newell
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP
I specialize in helping individuals better understand and manage stress before it leads to burnout. Stress doesn’t just live in your thoughts—it shows up in your body, your reactions, and your day-to-day functioning. Together, we focus on recognizing early signs of overwhelm, regulating your nervous system in real time, and building sustainable strategies to handle pressure more effectively. My approach is practical and skills-based, combining evidence-based tools with mind-body techniques so you can feel more grounded, focused, and in control—even in high-demand situations.

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.

Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Everyone at one point or another will experience stress in their daily lives. How we manage stress can impact our daily lives and overall health. Sometimes all it takes to take back control over our life stressors is having someone walk alongside of us and suggest new approaches to managing the stress. You are more than capable of overcoming your stress in a healthy way. I approach issues surrounding stress relationally and through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
