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
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.

Stress
Dr. Colette Sinclair
Psychologist, Ph.D, Integrated Medical Mental Health Clinician, Licensed Psychologist
When stress becomes your “normal,” it’s easy to forget what it feels like to truly rest—to feel safe in your body and clear in your mind. Whether you've been navigating chronic overwhelm or recovering from a recent crisis, your nervous system deserves care, not just coping.
At Integrative Mental Wellness, we support you in resetting and recovering through a holistic lens. Using tools like psychonutrition, breathwork, biofeedback, and cognitive reframing, we help calm your stress response at the root—not just the surface. Together, we’ll create space for your body and mind to heal, so you can return to life feeling more balanced, resilient, and in control.
Your healing doesn’t have to be hard. It just needs to be aligned.

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
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.

Stress
Chris 'Bucky' Bateman
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and one of the most underestimated. Chronic stress erodes relationships, health, and the ability to be present for what matters most. We help clients identify the sources of their stress, develop sustainable coping strategies, and make the practical and emotional changes needed to actually feel better, not just cope better.

Stress
Sue De Santo
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress touches every part of life, and it can leave you feeling wired, exhausted, and like you’re never really off-duty. In our work together, we slow down and listen to the “parts” of you that are overworking, worrying, caregiving, or bracing for the next crisis, using Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and somatic presence to help your body and mind come out of constant fight‑or‑flight. As you learn to recognize your limits, honor your needs, and soften long‑held patterns, stress becomes more manageable, and you can experience more ease, clarity, and moments of real rest in your everyday life.

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.

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.
