Stress
Dr Todd Giardina
Psychologist, PhD, Counseling Psychology
Stress is so prevalent it feels we could also use more help with this issue. But there are some simple shifts, hacks, and behavior changes I can teach you to handle life differently. Some of it is about time management and routine, and a lot of it is about a change in perspective. Seeing tasks as things you GET to do, rather than HAVE to do.

But higher levels of chronic stress can deplete your immune system and energy, and generate an emotional depletion that leaves you vulnerable to depression.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Life can be overwhelming, even without a specific diagnosis. From career burnout and major transitions to the daily "mental load" of managing a household, life stressors can drain your battery and leave you feeling stuck. Our Master’s level, clinically licensed therapists specialize in helping you navigate these pressures with practical tools and deep clinical insight.
Navigating Life’s Transitions & Daily Pressures
We believe that you don't need to be in a "crisis" to deserve support. Therapy for life stress is about building resilience, setting boundaries, and regaining your sense of balance.
Common Stressors We Address
Major Life Transitions: Moving, starting a new career, retirement, or navigating a "mid-life" shift.
Burnout & Career Stress: Managing the demands of high-pressure jobs and preventing emotional exhaustion.
Parenting & Caregiving: Navigating the "sandwich generation" stress of caring for children and aging parents.
Academic Pressure: Supporting students (ages 10+) as they navigate the social and academic demands of school.
Relationship Changes: Moving through breakups, divorces, or shifting family dynamics.
Our Toolset for Stress Management
We go beyond simple advice, offering evidence-based strategies to help you cope:
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): To identify the "all-or-nothing" thinking that often drives stress.
ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): To help you focus on what you can control and let go of what you can't.
Mindfulness & Psycho-education: Teaching you exactly how stress affects your nervous system and how to "reset" it.
Brainspotting: To release the physical tension and "fight-or-flight" energy that chronic stress leaves in the body.
A Collaborative Roadmap to Balance
We treat your life stress with the same clinical rigor as any other concern.
Full Assessment: We look at your current "stress load" and identify the areas where you feel most depleted.
Goal Setting: Together, we set markers for success—such as improved sleep, better work-life boundaries, or a more consistent self-care routine.
The Plan: We discuss a treatment roadmap, ensuring the tools we use fit into your busy life.

Stress
Madison Zimbal
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA counseling intern under supervision
Stress can build quietly over time until it begins to feel constant, showing up as irritability, overwhelm, fatigue, trouble concentrating, sleep difficulties, or a sense that you are always “on” and never fully able to rest. I work with children (7+), teens, and women who are feeling stretched thin by the demands of school, work, relationships, or daily life. In therapy, we focus on identifying what is contributing to stress and how it is impacting your thoughts, emotions, body, and behaviors. Many clients are used to pushing through stress without realizing how much it is affecting their overall well-being. Together, we work on slowing things down and creating space to understand what your mind and body are communicating. My approach is both practical and supportive. I help clients develop coping strategies for managing overwhelm, improving emotional regulation, setting healthier boundaries, and creating more balance in their day-to-day lives. The goal is not just to “handle stress better,” but to reduce the internal pressure that keeps it going. For clients who desire it, Christian counseling can also be integrated to support grounding, peace, and spiritual rest during stressful seasons. Faith can be a meaningful source of comfort and perspective when life feels heavy or out of control. My goal is to help clients feel more grounded, more in control of their emotional responses, and more able to move through life with a sense of steadiness rather than constant pressure.

Stress
Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating stress and anxiety symptoms for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people break free from their anxiety is one of the primary reasons I became a psychologist.

Madison is home to the University of Wisconsin — one of the top research universities in the country — and serves as Wisconsin's state capital, giving it an unusually high concentration of academics, researchers, and government professionals who collectively represent one of the most therapy-positive demographics in the Midwest. The city's progressive political culture and high rate of higher education strongly correlate with high therapy utilization and acceptance across multiple demographics. UW Health and SSM Health St. Mary's Hospital provide institutional mental health resources, with a well-developed private practice community serving Willy Street, Atwood, and the Near East Side. Madison's growing Latino and East African communities — particularly Hmong and Somali residents — are increasing demand for multilingual and culturally grounded therapists.
