Stress
Vince Heyman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Chronic stress can feel relentless, causing your mind to spiral, keeping your body tense and on edge, and leaving you exhausted or overwhelmed. Often, stress is fueled by high expectations, an overwhelming mental to-do list, or the pressure to control too much at once. Over time, this can drain your energy, strain relationships, and make everyday life feel heavy.
In therapy with me, we’ll explore how these patterns take hold, learn practical ways to quiet the mind and reset the nervous system, let go of the pressure, and confidently navigate challenges. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, steadiness, and a more sustainable way of living.

Stress
Melissa Quinn Pollock
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
General stress is a valid reason for seeking therapy. The majority of clients are subclinical, looking for ways to manage stress and triggers before they develop into conflict, mental illness, or disease. The demands of modern life are set up to leave us neglecting our true selves —so feeling stress is a sign of your humanity, and a place for us explore what works best for you.

Stress is a part of life, and can really impact our overall health (sleep, weight, mood) if not managed well. Learning to help cope with and manage stress can be invaluable.

Stress
Bridgit Serrano
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C
I specialize in stress that stems from high expectations, major life transitions, and the demands of motherhood. Many of the women I work with are capable and driven, yet feel chronically overwhelmed, overstimulated, and unable to fully relax. Rather than focusing only on time management or surface coping skills, we address the underlying issues contributing to persistent stress. The goal is to help you feel more regulated and grounded in your daily life.

Stress
Marge Michaelson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, ACSW, DSW
Stress is not necessarily negative as it leads to creation and problem solving. It can also lead to overwhelm, getting stuck or being immobilized even being non functional. Therapy can focus on the reasons for the stress both concrete, understood and not understood. In determining that, solutions can be formulated to address what is not working.

Stress
Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people find life to be very stressful. Much anxiety comes from trying to do too much, or meet the expectations of others, or a negative mindset about what's ahead. I work with clients to explore their beliefs, and where they come from. Then, it's important to choose about what matters to You, and begin focusing on activities and people who matter to You. Setting clear intentions, changing behaviors, and being mindful of self care are helpful strategies.

Stress
Su Boudreau, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Certified Domestic Violence Counselor
Stress is a part of living life. However, it becomes a problem when the stress level increases to the point that an individual cannot handle it effectively. The increased stress level can affect physical and mental health negatively. Learning to manage stress through the discussion of the life events that triggered the elevated level of stress in therapy can help clients to be more effective at managing stressful situations that they are dealing with. When you feel stressed, it is often the way our body is telling us that there is a problem. So, it would be wise and necessary to get help from professionals to prevent the worsening of unpleasant or disabling symptoms of stress in one's life.
