Stress can build over time and impact both emotional and physical well-being.

Stress
Dr. Lyndsay Elliott
Psychologist, PsyD.
Chronic stress has a way of becoming the background noise of modern life — so constant and pervasive that most people stop recognizing it as something worth addressing until it has taken a serious toll on their health, relationships, and overall well-being. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I help adults and high-achieving professionals identify the root causes of chronic stress, workplace stress, caregiver stress, and stress-related anxiety and depression and develop practical, lasting strategies to manage them. Using cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic insight, and evidence-based stress management techniques, I help clients reclaim a genuine sense of balance and resilience. Telehealth stress therapy available across 40+ states.

Stress
Dr. Mitch Keil, PsyD
Psychologist, Keil Psych Group
Stress isn't simply about how much is happening in your life. Two people can face the same circumstances and experience them very differently. Our histories, personalities, relationships, and the ways we've learned to cope all influence what overwhelms us—and sometimes why we keep putting ourselves in situations that do.
My approach to stress management goes deeper than simply teaching relaxation techniques. We use a depth-oriented approach that combines psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and practical changes to help you both manage stress and understand what is creating it.
Sometimes chronic stress is being fueled by patterns that aren't obvious at first. You may be working relentlessly to prove your worth, taking care of everyone else because saying no feels dangerous, avoiding difficult emotions by staying constantly busy, or pushing yourself long past exhaustion because slowing down brings up feelings you'd rather not face. In my experience, people can tolerate extraordinary amounts of stress when that stress is serving another psychological need.
Therapy helps us “pop the hood” and understand those deeper patterns while also developing concrete ways to calm the nervous system, establish healthier boundaries, care for yourself, and make changes in the way you live.
The goal isn't to simply become better at tolerating an unsustainable life. It's to understand why your life became so stressful in the first place—and help you build one that doesn't require you to constantly recover from it.

Stress
Emma Esper
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, LPCC
I have found that one of the greatest contributors to stress is in over-extending ourselves. We live in a society that values productivity and "staying busy". There is so much value in slowing down, in checking in with ourselves, in engaging in mindfulness. I will work with you on creating more balance so that you can reclaim your life, your mind, and your energy.
