Stress
Inessa Freylekhman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When life feels like a constant stream of demands, it can be hard to recognize what you need. I help you identify sources of stress, notice how they affect your body and emotions, and explore patterns such as overcommitting or perfectionism. Together, we develop practical ways to set limits, recover, and respond with greater steadiness.

Stress
Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Stress doesn’t always follow the rules—it shows up in productivity crashes at work, emotional overloads at home, or misalignment in relationships. At my practice, I work with minds that don’t always “fit in the box,” helping you translate intensity, deep processing, or divergent focus into practical strategies. Together, we’ll build tools you can use under pressure—so that your thinking style becomes a resource, not an obstacle, across every area of your life.

Elaine Skoulas
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A., LMFT
Chronic stress can quietly erode your sense of balance and well-being, especially for individuals who carry high levels of responsibility at work or in their personal lives. Many high-achieving adults become accustomed to operating in constant pressure or overdrive. In therapy we explore the deeper patterns behind chronic stress while helping your nervous system shift out of constant alert so you can experience greater clarity, steadiness, and resilience.

Debbie Cherry
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic stress can quietly change the way partners communicate, respond to each other, and experience their relationship. I work with busy professionals and couples in San Francisco, Austin, Miami, and throughout the states where I practice who find that work, parenting, caregiving, or everyday demands are beginning to overwhelm their connection. Therapy focuses on reducing reactivity, improving communication, and helping partners feel like they are on the same team again.

Stress
Heidi Hartston
Psychologist, PhD
Stress can have you feeling burned out, on edge, anxious, irritable or highly reactive. Whatever the cause, especially when there are multiple sources of stress, your nervous system can chronically burn on overdrive, disrupting your sleep and interfering in relationships, job performance and life satisfaction. Even with multiple sources of pressure on you, therapy can help you learn to create external boundaries by limiting what you take on, and internal boundaries by holding all that pressure at arms length, and managing stress in ways that allow you to access a sense of calm in the storm. I combine insightful, caring depth work with evidence based techniques that effectively free you from self-sabotaging patterns, and help you manage stress and build the balanced, happy life you deserve.

Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is an everyday occurrence for most of us, but that doesn't mean it has to hold us back from being our best selves and achieving our goals - so let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the many ways stress manifests in our lives, whether that is due to social, personal, work, past trauma, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well. ~~~ Just to make it clear: BLM. Protect the dolls. FDT. Free Palestine & Sudan. F the patriarchy/capitalism. Sex + Body Positive. ~~~
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your stressors so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Stress
Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Stress is a natural part of life, but ongoing or overwhelming stress can affect your mood, relationships, concentration, and overall sense of well-being. When demands begin to feel difficult to manage, it can be helpful to step back and understand what is contributing to that experience.
Therapy can help you identify sources of stress, recognize patterns that may be increasing emotional strain, and develop healthier ways of coping. Together, we can explore practical strategies for managing difficult emotions, setting boundaries, communicating effectively, and responding to challenges with greater flexibility. The goal is to help you develop skills that support greater balance, confidence, and effectiveness in your everyday life.

Diane Hough, LMFT — Integrative Therapy for Relationships & Life Transitions
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress often comes with change, especially change we don't want or are afraid of. Everyone has stress in their lives, but the way we hold stress and what we tell ourselves about it can determine how we deal with it. There's a lot of information around neuroscience and working with ways to navigate stress that can make stress and life transitions easier. I would like to assist you with that.
