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.

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.

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!

Viktoria Walda Byczkiewicz, Ph.D.
Pre-Licensed Professional, PhD
Life is stressful. Sometimes everything comes tumbling down at once. Problems at work, in relationships with friends, family, or neighbors, or in encountering illness. Major source of difficulty especially these days is how financial setbacks can make living life freely and joyfully seem impossible. Prolonged stress can lead to or worsen physical illness and cause psychological imbalance. Among the possibilities, a solutions-focused approach can be helpful in slowly tackling the unwelcome practical burdens that life presents.

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

Stress
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.

Stress
Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, LCSW
In navigating the complex terrain of stress, my practice takes a holistic and in-depth approach, recognizing that stress is often a surface symptom of deeper emotional, spiritual, and psychological currents. For empathetic, highly sensitive, and autistic individuals, stress doesn't merely stem from external pressures but is intricately linked to the profound experiences of self-criticism, anxiety, shame, and the overwhelming sense of responsibility for others' emotions. These experiences are compounded by challenges in setting boundaries, tendencies towards people-pleasing, perfectionism, and a deep-seated fear of disconnection, all of which can lead to a state of burnout and a feeling of being adrift from one's authentic self.
Understanding that stress can signal the soul's cry for healing, change, and a return to authenticity, my therapeutic process focuses on uncovering the root causes of stress. This involves exploring the impact of childhood trauma, the weight of ancestral grief, the struggle with navigating personal and collective awakenings, and the journey towards embracing one's true identity beyond societal and familial expectations. By addressing these foundational aspects, we engage in a transformative process aimed at reducing the immediate symptoms of stress while fostering a profound healing journey towards self-discovery, self-compassion, and empowerment.
The goal of our work together is to empower individuals to not only manage stress but to understand it as a meaningful part of their journey towards wholeness. Through developing healthier boundaries, embracing one's intrinsic worth independent of external validation, and cultivating a life in alignment with one's deepest truths, individuals can find peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. This comprehensive approach to stress transcends traditional coping mechanisms, inviting a deeper engagement with life's challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.

Julie Levin
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Having a difficult family member is sooooo stressful - especially if you live with them. Even the sound of their voice may set your teeth on edge. You may try really hard to maintain your composure, to be kind, understanding that they are not well. But the constant strain takes a toll. And, if you are responsible for the care of someone who is uncooperative or defiant, then you may be at your wits end. Together we can explore strategies of calming your nervous system. More than that, we can listen to the messages that stress is trying to send you and see if there are realistic ways to prioritize your own needs for peace, rest, calm, and joy.

Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and the UCLA Health system anchor institutional mental health services across the Los Angeles basin.
