Rebecca Rothberg
Psychologist, Psy.D., M.A., R.Y.T.
I specialize in supporting highly sensitive and growth-oriented individuals who have struggled to find their way, or have endeavored to do so in spite of great obstacles. With a background in trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, and cognitive behavioral (i.e. ACT, DBT) interventions, I can help you to tap into your own internal resources and acquire the skills to navigate your life with greater ease.

Jesse Whittle-Utter
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #79783
Stress has many origins: it often arises in response to external demands, but our belief systems and ways of relating to ourselves and others plays a huge role in shaping our stress response. I use EMDR, somatic, mindfulness and traditional talk therapy to work through its causes and find relief.

Mia Turner
Therapist, MA, RYT, ASDCS, LMFT, NPT-C, CMNCS, CMIP
Stress is not simply an individual experience. It is often shaped by the cumulative demands of work, caregiving, relationships, marginalization, systemic pressures, trauma, chronic illness, and the pace of modern life.
My approach focuses on understanding stress through a nervous-system-centered lens. Together, we explore the patterns, expectations, environments, and survival strategies contributing to overwhelm while developing practical and sustainable ways to support regulation, resilience, rest, and wellbeing. Therapy creates space not only for coping, but also for examining whether the demands being placed upon you are truly sustainable.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Stress often intensifies during major life transitions—career shifts, parenting, relocation, or relationship changes. Through an attachment-informed and emotion-focused approach, we explore how stress impacts connection and communication.
Using IFS, we identify protective patterns such as irritability, withdrawal, or self-criticism, and strengthen internal self-leadership. Therapy helps you respond rather than react, fostering resilience both internally and relationally.

Nes Pinar Psychotherapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I help people who feel overwhelmed by stress slow down, understand what’s fueling the pressure, and reconnect with a steadier internal rhythm. Together, we explore the patterns, expectations, and nervous‑system responses that keep you stuck in overdrive, while building practical, compassionate ways to create more ease. My approach is calm, collaborative, and supportive—helping you move through life with more clarity, balance, and room to breathe.
