Sushma Cheturvedula
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
I would assist individuals grappling with stress by initially aiding them in identifying and comprehending the origins of their stressors. We would delve into any underlying emotional disturbances, trauma-related triggers, or relationship issues that contribute to their stress levels. Employing therapeutic methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I would facilitate the process of challenging negative thought patterns and fostering effective coping strategies for stress management. Moreover, I would provide guidance in implementing relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, and boundary-setting skills to alleviate stress and enhance emotional well-being. The goal is to address the fundamental emotional and relational factors while equipping them with practical coping mechanisms, ultimately enhancing their ability to manage stress and improve overall quality of life.

Tara Thompson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Unresolved stress can really hit hard for folks dealing with addictions, relationship bumps, or depression. Take work stress, for example. When it piles up, some people might turn to alcohol or drugs to deal, which can lead to addiction struggles. Others might notice their relationships start to strain as they try to handle all the pressure. And to top it off, high stress levels can make depression symptoms even worse, making it tough to handle everyday stuff. If someone's going through major stress, I'd aim to create a safe space for them to chat about what's going on. We'd talk about ways to cope that don't involve substances, like exercise or spending time with friends.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, such as leaving home for the first time, starting a relationship or family, or taking on a new occupation, are unavoidable parts of life. Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.
