Elaine Barrington
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is managed by knowing our own capacity and limitations. As a mindfulness facilitator I often bring these techniques into my work with clients and focus on the 3 As - Acknowledgement, Allowance, and Acceptance. My favorite Zen proverb is "If you understand, things are just as they are. If you don't understand, things are just as they are." You may not be able to change your circumstances, but you can change how you relate to them and that usually changes everything. With clients I explore where change is possible and where acceptance is the change that is needed for equanimity.

Lila Wallace
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LFMT
Stress is so pervasive today that we sometimes forget it’s not a natural part of how humans function. I can help you understand what stress means in your mind and body and how to make better choices with that in mind. Although a certain amount of stress is useful, a feeling of being overwhelmed is not.

Stephanie Brumfield
Therapist, MSW, ASW, PPSC
In navigating the complex terrain of stress, my practice takes a holistic and in-depth approach, recognizing that stress is often a surface symptom of deeper emotional, spiritual, and psychological currents. For empathetic, highly sensitive, and autistic individuals, stress doesn't merely stem from external pressures but is intricately linked to the profound experiences of self-criticism, anxiety, shame, and the overwhelming sense of responsibility for others' emotions. These experiences are compounded by challenges in setting boundaries, tendencies towards people-pleasing, perfectionism, and a deep-seated fear of disconnection, all of which can lead to a state of burnout and a feeling of being adrift from one's authentic self.
Understanding that stress can signal the soul's cry for healing, change, and a return to authenticity, my therapeutic process focuses on uncovering the root causes of stress. This involves exploring the impact of childhood trauma, the weight of ancestral grief, the struggle with navigating personal and collective awakenings, and the journey towards embracing one's true identity beyond societal and familial expectations. By addressing these foundational aspects, we engage in a transformative process aimed at reducing the immediate symptoms of stress while fostering a profound healing journey towards self-discovery, self-compassion, and empowerment.
The goal of our work together is to empower individuals to not only manage stress but to understand it as a meaningful part of their journey towards wholeness. Through developing healthier boundaries, embracing one's intrinsic worth independent of external validation, and cultivating a life in alignment with one's deepest truths, individuals can find peace, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. This comprehensive approach to stress transcends traditional coping mechanisms, inviting a deeper engagement with life's challenges as opportunities for growth and transformation.
