Stress can be triggered by many things. I use a Person-Centered approach to hear directly from the client what sort of things could be contributing to stress. How is the stress presenting?

Please see any of the other entries. Stress is such a word that sometimes does a lot of heavy lifting in our world. Stress can mean brief experiences of sensory or cognitive overload, or could be an expression of anxiety, other health challenge impacting mental health. It could result from just not having language or a sense of space where one is accepted and can belong available to talk about one's challenge. Generally, if it's not CPTSD related there are lots of great ways to sort through overload and growth with working with inner feelings. If it's CPTSD and DID or other CPTSD based, parts work or other neurodevelopmentally supportive care might help. If it's oppression based or chronic health based, then it may help to share about the situation and find ways that are less taxing, require less masking, etc. to move through a situation or be at peace in it. Stress can sometimes mask grief. Our hegemonic culture has not developed or has even discarded tools for working with grief. So sometimes stress can be indicator that grief work is helpful. Also, a very real factor is disaster capitalism -- giving people a place to be real about that and its multiple devastating impacts is often very helpful. Sometimes it can open up new creative ways of addressing the challenge and finding agency that might have been inaccessible before. Sometimes there is just a need to mourn the challenges with other compassionate folks to feel less alone. Sometimes its about family or cultural conditioning to prove and succeed in an automated way, that discards the realm of emotions that unfortunately can't be stuffed or wedged out forever, as they are a useful gauge for inner and broader conditions when worked with constructively. Stress could be resultant from conditions not listed here, like being an overextended caregiver, etc. or stepping into one's first big art/creative event... If you're feeling stress, please feel free to reach out and ask for help!

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.
