Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!

MindOverHealing Therapies
Hypnotherapist, CHt
In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.

Brooke Taylor
Pre-Licensed Professional, MA, AMFT
Teens are carrying more than the version of adolescence most of us remember. Academic pressure that starts earlier every year, extracurriculars run like a resume, college looming over sophomores, friendships that never go offline, and often something heavier underneath it, like a family in transition or money worries they were never officially told about.
Stress in teens tends to come out in the body first. Headaches, stomachaches, jaw tension, sleeping badly or not at all. Then it shows up as a short fuse, or tears over something small, or a kid who has gone flat and stopped caring about things they used to. Sometimes it looks like the opposite: a teen who keeps performing beautifully while quietly running on empty. Those are often the ones who go longest without help.
We start by looking at what your teen is actually holding, including the parts that are not obvious to anyone else. From there we work on what can realistically change and what has to be carried differently, and on practical tools that work in the moment: settling the nervous system, unhooking from spiraling thoughts, sorting what is theirs to manage from what is not.
Some of this work involves your family, and I will bring you in where it is useful. Often a small adjustment at home, in the schedule or in the expectations, does more than anything I can teach in a session.

Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Stress can have you feeling burned out, on edge, anxious, irritable or highly reactive. Whatever the cause, especially when there are multiple sources of stress, your nervous system can chronically burn on overdrive, disrupting your sleep and interfering in relationships, job performance and life satisfaction. Even with multiple sources of pressure on you, therapy can help you learn to create external boundaries by limiting what you take on, and internal boundaries by holding all that pressure at arms length, and managing stress in ways that allow you to access a sense of calm in the storm. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you manage stress and build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
When Stress Becomes Your Normal
You may be holding everything together — work, relationships, family — but inside, you feel stretched thin. Your mind is racing, your sleep is off, and no matter how much you get done, it never feels like enough. Maybe your body has started to show the strain too — headaches, fatigue, tension, or constant restlessness.
Stress is your body’s way of saying something needs care. When it becomes chronic, it can leave you feeling anxious, irritable, or disconnected from what once brought joy.
In therapy, we’ll use a structured, evidence-based approach called TEAM-CBT to help you calm your nervous system and regain a sense of balance. Together, we’ll:
Identify the thoughts and habits that keep your stress cycle running
Build emotional tools to manage pressure without burning out
Learn how to pause and reset your body’s “threat mode” using neuroscience-based skills
Strengthen your boundaries and reconnect with what truly matters to you
Replace overthinking and self-criticism with clarity and confidence
Our work combines practical tools, humor, and self-compassion — because healing from stress isn’t about doing more, it’s about learning how to do less with more presence and peace.
I BELIEVE:
Your stress is not a personal failure — it’s a signal asking for understanding, not judgment.
Balance isn’t something you find; it’s something you build, moment by moment.
You can be both ambitious and grounded, productive and peaceful.
Boundaries are acts of self-respect, not selfishness.
You deserve a life that feels manageable, meaningful, and your own.
Also Integrated In Our Work:
• Interpersonal Work – to strengthen connection and empower you to be yourself using The 5 Secrets of Effective Communication
• Mindful Self-Compassion – to cultivate a gentler, kinder inner voice through the work of Dr. Kristin Neff
• Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM) – to regulate the nervous system and support trauma recovery alongside cognitive tools for a well-rounded approach

Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is managed by knowing our own capacity and limitations. As a mindfulness facilitator I often bring these techniques into my work with clients and focus on the 3 As - Acknowledgement, Allowance, and Acceptance. My favorite Zen proverb is "If you understand, things are just as they are. If you don't understand, things are just as they are." You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you relate to them and that usually changes everything. With clients I explore where change is possible and where acceptance is the change that is needed for equanimity.

Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Our world is so stressful and impacts our systems on all levels-bodily, relational, communal, familial. Work to understand the signs and sources of stress and how to navigate those can be very important to shedding the negative implications of navigating toxic systems and environments and how those can come to impair and disable healthy functioning. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion can particularly inform this work as does right action such boundary setting and bolstering communication.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.
