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
Dr. Divya Kakaiya Healthy Within
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist Ph. D M.S. BCN-L
Chronic stress doesn't just feel exhausting — it physically reshapes the brain, keeping the nervous system locked in a state of high alert long after the stressor has passed.
Neurofeedback interrupts this pattern at its neurological source, training the brain to recognize and return to calm without external intervention. The stress response doesn't disappear — it becomes proportionate again, allowing the brain to respond to life rather than brace against it.

Stress
Briana Marshall
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
You may be managing a lot; work, relationships, responsibilities, and still feel like it’s never enough or that you can’t slow down. Many clients come in feeling mentally and emotionally exhausted, constantly “on,” and unsure how to truly rest without guilt. In therapy, we’ll look at both the external demands and the internal pressures driving your stress. Together, we’ll create space for balance, boundaries, and a way of functioning that feels more sustainable.

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
Amy Price, AMP Family Therapy Inc.
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Each area and stage of life has stressors. Some of us are resilient at one point and not so much at another. Or, we can feel that stress abounds in all areas and we just can't seem to get a handle on it, calm our nervous system and become easily overwhelmed. High stress is related to a great number of health issues and negative outcomes. If you are experiencing stress in one or many areas, let's talk it through, determine what is reasonable and what is within your control and make the changes necessary to reduce the amount and/or duration of the experience.

Dr Pamela Helen Polcyn
Marriage and Family Therapist, Phd, MFT
Stress is part of life. How we handle it is learned. Determining whether it is motivating us or overwhelming us is a critical distinction to make. Skills can be learned and practiced to maintain the ability to stay on track with our goals and in our relationships even through stressful periods.
