Stress
Elena Duong
Psychologist, Psy.D.
People can become stressed from different parts of their lives. Life transitions can create stress. Burnout is chronic stress on our body and mind. It can appear as exhaustion, cynicism and detachment, and/or feeling ineffective and unaccomplished. Chronic stress is not healthy for the body and can lead to more mental and/or physical health concerns.

Stress
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.

Stress
John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT MACP LPCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Zena Caputo
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Although stress in life seems like a given, we're not often taught how to reduce or effectively manage it's (very real) impact--or sometimes we're faced with a new set of challenges that exceed our usual attempts to cope. Learning more about how your unique nervous system works can help you evaluate, navigate, and cope more effectively so that you can find more ease and joy in life.

Stress
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.
