Stress
Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Stress is part of life. How we handle it is learned. Determining whether it is motivating us or overwhelming us is a critical distinction to make. Skills can be learned and practiced to maintain the ability to stay on track with our goals and in our relationships even through stressful periods.

Stress
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we feel bogged down by stress, it’s often difficult to get the same sense of enjoyment we once received from life’s simple pleasures, hobbies, and social engagements. A sense of guilt sometimes follows any effort to honor ourselves with self-care activities, a guilt that says “you should be doing…” or asks “is this really the best use of your time?”
Therapy can be the place to examine the root of the criticism, the values in the decisions you’re making, and to work through the mental, emotional and physical exhaust that so frequently comes with stress. We’ll cater our approach to precisely what your current experience is, considering how you’ve overcome past experiences of stress, as well.

Stress
Erin Kennedy
Therapist, LPCC
Stress is a normal part of being human; the problem is when it becomes chronic. Thanks to "hustle culture" & #riseandgrind, we're experiencing another epidemic in our society--most of us are burnt-the F-out. While some degree of stress is undoubtedly adaptive and necessary, we aren't wired to work 60+ hours a week & be constantly available to, well, everyone. We're expected to do more (at work & at home) with less support, time, and resources. We will work together to identify sources of stress in your life & better understand the purpose it's serving.

Stress
Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Each area and stage of life has stressors. Some of us are resilient at one point and not so much at another. Or, we can feel that stress abounds in all areas and we just can't seem to get a handle on it, calm our nervous system and become easily overwhelmed. High stress is related to a great number of health issues and negative outcomes. If you are experiencing stress in one or many areas, let's talk it through, determine what is reasonable and what is within your control and make the changes necessary to reduce the amount and/or duration of the experience.

Stress
Dr. Colette Sinclair
Psychologist, Ph.D, Integrated Medical Mental Health Clinician, Licensed Psychologist
When stress becomes your “normal,” it’s easy to forget what it feels like to truly rest—to feel safe in your body and clear in your mind. Whether you've been navigating chronic overwhelm or recovering from a recent crisis, your nervous system deserves care, not just coping.
At Integrative Mental Wellness, we support you in resetting and recovering through a holistic lens. Using tools like psychonutrition, breathwork, biofeedback, and cognitive reframing, we help calm your stress response at the root—not just the surface. Together, we’ll create space for your body and mind to heal, so you can return to life feeling more balanced, resilient, and in control.
Your healing doesn’t have to be hard. It just needs to be aligned.

Stress
Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Stress is not necessarily negative as it leads to creation and problem solving. It can also lead to overwhelm, getting stuck or being immobilized even being non functional. Therapy can focus on the reasons for the stress both concrete, understood and not understood. In determining that, solutions can be formulated to address what is not working.

Stress
Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may be managing a lot; work, relationships, responsibilities, and still feel like it’s never enough or that you can’t slow down. Many clients come in feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted, constantly “on,” and unsure how to truly rest without guilt. In therapy, we’ll look at both the external demands and the internal pressures driving your stress. Together, we’ll create space for balance, boundaries, and a way of functioning that feels more sustainable.
