Jasmine Wilson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, SEP-IT
You’re carrying a lot, and it can be hard to ever feel fully “off.” Your mind may keep running through what needs to get done, what you forgot, or what might need your attention next. Maybe you’re more irritable than usual, have trouble sleeping, notice tension in your body, or feel like even small things can push you over the edge.
You may still be getting everything done, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t taking a toll. In therapy, we’ll get curious about what you’re carrying, what keeps you feeling responsible for so much, and where there may be room to do things differently. That might mean noticing your limits sooner, setting boundaries, asking for help, or learning how to actually stop when there’s always something else you could be doing.

Alejandra Kenia Ipina
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
I often work with women who are exhausted from years of stress. It may show up in your life as sleep disturbances, inability to make decisions, brain fog, anxiety or depression. Using somatic therapy and a holistic approach, we can help reduce the impact of stress. Sound healing promotes reduction of cortisol and improves your mood.

Karina Larios
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker
Is it hard for your to relax? Is your mindful constantly "on"? Is the stress limiting how you wish to show up in your life? Stress can be helpful but when in overdrive sends out nervous system to a persistent overdrive that can impact our physical, social, and spiritual health. My approach is compassionate,, grounding, and encouraging to find practices that help quiet your mind so you can be more fully present in your body, environment and relationships.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. You may find yourself feeling constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, irritable, unable to relax, or struggling to balance the demands of work, relationships, family, and daily responsibilities. Left unaddressed, chronic stress can contribute to anxiety, depression, burnout, sleep difficulties, physical tension, and a diminished sense of well-being.
At Holding Space Therapy, we help individuals better understand the impact of stress on both the mind and body while developing practical strategies to restore balance and resilience. Together, we'll identify the sources of your stress, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create a personalized plan to help you feel more grounded and in control. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, stress management techniques, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, you'll learn effective tools to regulate your nervous system, manage overwhelming emotions, improve problem-solving skills, establish healthy boundaries, and respond to challenges with greater confidence. If unresolved trauma or past experiences are contributing to your current stress, therapy can also help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
We have extensive experience supporting professionals in high-stress careers, including first responders, healthcare workers, and other helping professionals who often carry significant emotional demands. Therapy provides a confidential space to address compassion fatigue, burnout, workplace stress, and the unique challenges that can arise from caring for others while neglecting your own needs. You don't have to stay in survival mode. With the right support, you can reduce stress, strengthen your resilience, improve your overall well-being, and create a healthier, more sustainable balance in your personal and professional life.

Chelsea Sutter
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I provide therapy for chronic stress, overwhelm, burnout (i.e. the feeling that you’re constantly running on empty or getting into patterns of overcomittment). We’ll explore the connection between your mind and body, understand the different parts of you that may be carrying stress, and build sustainable practices that actually fit into your life. I use modalities such as Internal Family Systems (IFS) -informed and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to focus on creating more flexibility, balance, and a life that feels aligned with what matters most to you.

Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Stress is a huge 6 letter word that gets thrown around frequently, but how do we actually manage it? It isn't as simple as going to the spa or squeezing a stress ball. All of the resources I am trained in teaching people allow us to manage stress in a far more effective way. Stress management and self-care is essential, and the practice of that is something we can work on together. This wasn't something that was taught in schools, but that is okay, we can learn now.

Holly Hall, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can take a serious toll on your mental and physical health, relationships, and overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with work pressure, family responsibilities, financial concerns, or the cumulative weight of daily demands, unmanaged stress can leave you feeling exhausted, irritable, and unable to cope.
I help clients develop effective strategies for managing stress and building resilience. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), we'll identify the thoughts and beliefs that amplify stress—such as perfectionism, catastrophic thinking, or unrealistic expectations—and learn to challenge and reframe them. You'll develop practical coping skills including relaxation techniques, time management strategies, and problem-solving approaches that you can apply immediately.
From a family systems perspective, we'll also explore how relationship dynamics, family roles, and communication patterns may contribute to your stress levels. Sometimes stress isn't just about your own workload—it's about how responsibilities are distributed, boundaries are set, and support is available within your family or household. When past trauma or unresolved issues contribute to current stress, we can address those underlying factors to create more lasting relief and prevent future overwhelm.My goal is to help you not just survive stress, but develop the tools and perspective to manage life's challenges more effectively. You'll learn to recognize your stress triggers, respond rather than react, and create a more balanced, sustainable approach to your responsibilities and well-being.

Fullerton is an Orange County city home to California State University Fullerton, one of the largest campuses in the Cal State system, and the city's mental health landscape is anchored by the significant mental health needs of a large, diverse student body that includes a high proportion of first-generation college students from Latino, Asian, and working-class backgrounds. CSUF's comprehensive counseling center is a key resource, and the city's diverse permanent population—with large Latino, Vietnamese, and Korean communities—creates demand for multilingual and culturally competent private therapy. Orange County behavioral health services extend to Fullerton, and the county's strong private therapy sector is accessible to residents across the area. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, first-generation college student challenges, family and intergenerational dynamics, anxiety, and the navigation of multiple cultural identities in a diverse suburban city.
