Stress
Hayden Dover
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, CST
Stress often reveals where life has become overloaded, misaligned, or difficult to sustain. I work with stress by looking at the whole pattern: the body, emotions, relationships, responsibilities, choices, and the pressure to keep functioning even when something needs attention. My approach combines practical tools, body awareness, existential reflection, and positive psychology to support more steadiness, clarity, resilience, and a life that feels more workable and meaningful.

Matthew Weisskopf
Psychologist, PhD
I can teach people important skills to manage stress in their life that focuses on the role of thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and behaviors, and their role in the stress process. Addressing these aspects of stress, combined with the utilization of various relaxation techniques can be very helpful.

Stress
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Chronic stress can feel relentless, causing your mind to spiral, keeping your body tense and on edge, and leaving you exhausted or overwhelmed. Often, stress is fueled by high expectations, an overwhelming mental to-do list, or the pressure to control too much at once. Over time, this can drain your energy, strain relationships, and make everyday life feel heavy.
In therapy with me, we’ll explore how these patterns take hold, learn practical ways to quiet the mind and reset the nervous system, let go of the pressure, and confidently navigate challenges. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, steadiness, and a more sustainable way of living.

Stress
Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
General stress is a valid reason for seeking therapy. The majority of clients are subclinical, looking for ways to manage stress and triggers before they develop into conflict, mental illness, or disease. The demands of modern life are set up to leave us neglecting our true selves —so feeling stress is a sign of your humanity, and a place for us explore what works best for you.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is an everyday occurrence for most of us, but that doesn't mean it has to hold us back from being our best selves and achieving our goals - so let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the many ways stress manifests in our lives, whether that is due to social, personal, work, past trauma, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your stressors so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!
