Stress
Karen Nadel
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress can affect more than your mood—it can interfere with sleep, concentration, relationships, and your ability to enjoy everyday life. In therapy, I help clients understand the sources of their stress and recognize the patterns that may be keeping them feeling overwhelmed or constantly “on.” Together, we work on developing practical ways to manage competing demands, set boundaries, respond to difficult emotions, and create greater balance. I also help clients explore the expectations they place on themselves and the ways they may be carrying more than they need to. The goal is not simply to eliminate stress, but to help you feel more grounded, resilient, and able to respond to life’s challenges with greater flexibility and self-compassion.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.
