Psychologist, Ph.D.
Stress is a common occurrence in today's world. There are differences between 'normal' stress and chronic/prolonged stress. Chronic stress is harmful to one's health and can lead to significant health issues, both physical and psychological. It is important to identify stressors, explore factors that cause chronic stress, and develop strategies to reduce daily as well as chronic stress.

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.

John Jakubowski
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, APCC
Social anxiety, in my opinion, is a completely normal reaction to a world that has become increasingly hard to navigate, interpret and understand. The last few years have been devastating for people trying to function, not alone make sense of the world around them. I work with clients to reframe their experience into an affirming, compassionate narrative that helps them see the beauty in both themselves and their environment.

Saralee Kramer Counseling
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Many people find life to be very stressful. Much anxiety comes from trying to do too much, or meet the expectations of others, or a negative mindset about what's ahead. I work with clients to explore their beliefs, and where they come from. Then, it's important to choose about what matters to You, and begin focusing on activities and people who matter to You. Setting clear intentions, changing behaviors, and being mindful of self care are helpful strategies.
