Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress can look different ways: headaches, stomach upset, difficulty concentrating. We all get stressed. HOW we get stressed is unique. Let's talk about what stress looks like for you, how it manifests, and tools to help you cope with it.

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.

Shawna Stillwell
Marriage and Family Therapist, IMFT-S
When stress becomes chronic, it stops feeling like a response to circumstances and starts feeling like "just the way things are." This can lead to many other mental and physical health issues, which only perpetuates the cycle of stress. I help clients to get underneath the stress, understanding what's driving it, what its protecting, and how to relate to it differently so it has less power over your daily life.

Mary Mesiha
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it starts to feel constant or overwhelming, it can take a toll on your mind and body. You may find yourself feeling tense, irritable, or exhausted, with little time to recharge. In therapy, we’ll look at what’s contributing to your stress and find practical ways to manage it—so you can regain balance, clarity, and a sense of control. Together, we’ll work toward helping you feel more grounded and resilient, even when life feels demanding.

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Stress can stem from success, responsibility, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Whether you're managing professional burnout, caregiving demands, or the cumulative toll of perfectionism and overcommitment, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you recalibrate and restore balance.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Behavioral Activation to address both the physiological and psychological dimensions of stress. We’ll identify the patterns that drive chronic tension, explore values-based decision-making, and develop practical tools to reduce overwhelm and increase resilience. For clients navigating high-stakes environments, I also offer strategic support for workflow optimization, sleep hygiene, and emotional regulation.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly managing stress behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term sustainability.
