Stress
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we feel bogged down by stress, it’s often difficult to get the same sense of enjoyment we once received from life’s simple pleasures, hobbies, and social engagements. A sense of guilt sometimes follows any effort to honor ourselves with self-care activities, a guilt that says “you should be doing…” or asks “is this really the best use of your time?”
Therapy can be the place to examine the root of the criticism, the values in the decisions you’re making, and to work through the mental, emotional and physical exhaust that so frequently comes with stress. We’ll cater our approach to precisely what your current experience is, considering how you’ve overcome past experiences of stress, as well.

When you are feeling yourself overwhelmed, under-resourced, and unsure how to get yourself where you want to be, you are likely stressed. Stress is a multifaceted and uncomfortable experience that includes a number of different emotions, physical symptoms, and urges. I have ways to assess stress in your life to understand the various factors that contribute to it and to problem-solve ways to reduce it. Helping people live a less stressed life is one of my core goals as a therapist.

Vanessa Wolter Holistic Therapy
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Stress is one of the most prevalent mental health challenge the world faces. If you are reading this you have already made the first step towards liberating yourself from this suffering because you are acknowledging your pain and taking action. Once we are chronically stressed we begin operating from the survival part of our brain which makes it very difficult to get perspective on what is within our control and what is not. Together we can look at all of the causes of your areas and break them down to more manageable tasks and goal and identify what is possible and what aspects require nurturing a greater sense of trust and openness.

Philip Starkman
Registered Psychotherapist, MSW, RSW
In my practice, I offer a compassionate and holistic approach to managing stress, recognizing it as a universal experience with unique personal impacts. By integrating techniques such as Mindfulness, the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Role-Playing. I also emphasize the importance of exercise and nutrition as key components of stress management. Regular physical activity and a balanced diet play crucial roles in reducing stress levels, improving mental health, and enhancing overall well-being. In addition, I recommend Tai Chi and Yoga as forms of relaxing meditation in movement. Mindfulness practices encourage a present-focused awareness and acceptance of stressful feelings without judgment, while EFT provides a method to lessen emotional distress. Through CBT, we work on identifying and challenging stress-inducing thought patterns, and IFS allows clients to explore and harmonize internal conflicts. Role-playing prepares individuals for stressful interactions or situations, equipping them with strategies to remain calm and collected. My role is to support you in uncovering the root causes of your stress and to empower you with effective coping mechanisms, fostering resilience and a sense of calm in the face of life’s challenges. Together, we aim to transform your relationship with stress, enhancing your overall well-being and quality of life.
