I combine experiential and dynamic elements to heal emotional trauma. I help you access and transform stuck emotional patterns, and integrate positive experiences into your sense of yourself.

Dr. Stacie McPherson
Psychologist, M.A., Psy.D., Licensed Psychologist
Stress is often treated as inevitable—just part of a demanding career or busy life. But when it becomes chronic, it affects everything: sleep, relationships, decision-making, and your ability to be present for the things that matter. I help clients identify what's driving their stress, develop practical strategies for managing it, and address the patterns—cognitive and physiological—that keep the nervous system stuck in overdrive. Using both talk therapy and somatic approaches, we'll work toward sustainable relief rather than just pushing through.

Therapist, @ Embracing Rebirth
Stress can feel overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to control your life. We help you reduce and manage stress by teaching you somatic practices, mindfulness techniques, and strategies for restoring balance. A key part of this journey is learning to give yourself permission—to rest, to set boundaries, and to prioritize your well-being. Together, we identify stress triggers, build resilience, and create daily practices that empower you to navigate challenges with greater ease and self-compassion.

What is Stress?
Stress is your body’s physiological response to a threat. Also called the “fight or flight response”, stress enhances your reflexes, strength, focus and endurance when your body releases cortisol and adrenaline into your bloodstream. These hormones measurably increase your heartbeat, blood pressure, and breathing rate, while also tightening your muscles and sharpening your senses.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Life can be challenging and there are so many reasons people start feeling stressed. I will partner with you to alleviate your stress by making lifestyle changes, learning relaxation techniques and changing unhealthy thinking patterns. Our brains have evolved powerful tools for coping with threats and danger—but in the face of modern stresses like stress at work, information overload, financial concerns and relationship issues, our survival reflexes can do more harm than good. In small doses, stress can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best but chronic stress can wreak havoc on you physical and mental health. Our bodies were not designed to function in a chronic stress mode. If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, I will partner with you to bring your nervous system back into balance. You can protect yourself and improve how you think and feel by adding calming and soothing routines into your life each day to decrease the symptoms of chronic stress and take steps to reduce its harmful effects. If you tend to get stressed out frequently—as many of us do in today’s demanding world—your body may be in a heightened state of stress most of the time. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body and can lead to serious health problems. It can suppress your immune system, upset your digestive and reproductive systems, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and speed up the aging process. It can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. Health problems caused or exacerbated by stress include: Depression and Anxiety, pain of any kind, sleep problems, autoimmune diseases, digestive problems, skin conditions, such as eczema, heart disease, weight problems, reproductive issues and thinking and memory problems. I invite you to partner with me to utilize feeling stressed out as an opportunity to make healthy changes in your life and create an internal sense of peace.

Ryan Ramsey
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
Being authentic matters to me. I show up as a real person in the therapy room, and I want you to feel like you can do the same. My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself, open up, and unpack everything you’ve been carrying: the stress, the thoughts you keep to yourself, the experiences you’ve been through, and all the stuff life has handed you. When people feel safe enough to be honest and real, that’s when therapy really helps.
I’m informal, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. I believe that the relationship between us is far more important than any technique or theory. When you feel comfortable, understood, and really seen, you’re more likely to take risks, say what’s true, and make real changes.
That said, I do bring strong clinical training when it’s useful. I have advanced training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy from the Albert Ellis Institute in New York. REBT is one tool in my toolbox and something we can use to help you understand and challenge your thoughts, shift unhelpful patterns, and create new ways of responding to stress, relationships, and life in general. But therapy with me isn’t rigid or overly structured. It’s a conversation. It’s two humans sitting down, figuring things out together.
If you’re motivated to change, to feel better, to understand yourself more deeply, or to get clearer about where you want your life to go, I can help you with all of that.

Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Those who suffer from chronic stress work can benefit greatly from my hypnotic programming and supportive frameworks like NLP, breathwork, EMT, regression, tapping, and others. We will reset the nervous system and hardwire in commands that signal a return to safety. The tools used can be turned to in triggering moments so you can restore emotionally within minutes. I train you in a technique you can do if you wake up to dread so we quickly alter your chemical makeup to an elevated state and a sense of hopefulness is restored. I also give you a tool that can be called on during times of feeling overwhelmed and overextended, so you can find clarity and a sense of calm to move forward, unimpeded. We explore beliefs and emotions associated with the stress you are experiencing, while identifying areas in life we can remove stress from realistically, and may find the root cause within a regression, where once the old emotions are finally released, we can begin wiring in the new ways of being that all support the goal of inner peace, calm, and effortless ease.

Catherine Bitney
Psychologist, PhD, Licensed Psychologist
I have a passion for helping clients reduce anxiety, stress, confusion, sadness, and pain - so that they can live more fulfilling, authentic, and happy lives. While many of us strive to get rid of our stress, research in psychology shows that a life without stress if fairly boring. I enjoy helping my clients reframe some of their stressors as challenges, learning how to deal with these challenges, and having success stories to lean back on to feel inherently good about themselves. If you live in a state of constant stress, we need to re-calibrate you so your body isn't constantly swimming in cortisol!

Skye D Ross, EMDR Therapist for High Achieving Women
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, PMH-C, MPH, EMDR-Certified Therapist & Consultant In Training
Most of the people who seek me out are feeling chronically stressed and exhausted. They're often deep into their burnout, which is a culmination of feeling exhilarated by the work they do, taking on more responsibility, and perfectionistic tendencies leading them to ruminate on work. With CBT, DBT, and EMDR, we break through these patterns to reduce burnout symptoms and live a more balanced life.
