Stress
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.

Stress
Resilient Mind Integrative Therapy, PLLC
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Chronic stress can quietly take over—leaving you feeling tense, irritable, scattered, or on edge no matter how much you do. You might notice physical symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, trouble sleeping, or a weakened immune system, or feel emotionally drained from constantly trying to hold everything together. Over time, prolonged stress can erode focus, patience, self-confidence, and even relationships, making small tasks feel overwhelming.
Therapy offers a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Together, we’ll identify sources of stress, explore the patterns that keep you in overdrive, and build practical tools to calm your mind and body. With awareness and support, it’s possible to restore balance, strengthen resilience, and move through life with greater ease and clarity.
