Stress
Dr. Shelby Kittinger
Psychologist, PsyD
Stress often reflects an internal imbalance between responsibility, perfectionism, and emotional needs. Through relational exploration, I help clients increase self-awareness, develop healthier boundaries, and restore a sense of internal calm and agency.

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.

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
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
Scheyden Herold
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT #137593, MS
Stress is a huge 6 letter word that gets thrown around frequently, but how do we actually manage it? It isn't as simple as going to the spa or squeezing a stress ball. All of the resources I am trained in teaching people allow us to manage stress in a far more effective way. Stress management and self-care is essential, and the practice of that is something we can work on together. This wasn't something that was taught in schools, but that is okay, we can learn now.

Stress
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes chronic or overwhelming, it can affect your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. You may find yourself feeling constantly on edge, emotionally exhausted, irritable, unable to relax, or struggling to balance the demands of work, relationships, family, and daily responsibilities. Left unaddressed, chronic stress can contribute to anxiety, depression, burnout, sleep difficulties, physical tension, and a diminished sense of well-being.
At Holding Space Therapy, we help individuals better understand the impact of stress on both the mind and body while developing practical strategies to restore balance and resilience. Together, we'll identify the sources of your stress, explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and create a personalized plan to help you feel more grounded and in control. Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, stress management techniques, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, you'll learn effective tools to regulate your nervous system, manage overwhelming emotions, improve problem-solving skills, establish healthy boundaries, and respond to challenges with greater confidence. If unresolved trauma or past experiences are contributing to your current stress, therapy can also help process those experiences and reduce their ongoing impact.
We have extensive experience supporting professionals in high-stress careers, including first responders, healthcare workers, and other helping professionals who often carry significant emotional demands. Therapy provides a confidential space to address compassion fatigue, burnout, workplace stress, and the unique challenges that can arise from caring for others while neglecting your own needs. You don't have to stay in survival mode. With the right support, you can reduce stress, strengthen your resilience, improve your overall well-being, and create a healthier, more sustainable balance in your personal and professional life.
