Anne Zakaras
Counselor/Therapist, LCPC, ATR-BC, PMH-C
Chronic stress doesn't just exhaust the mind—it live-wires the nervous system, leading to physical fatigue, emotional overwhelm, and severe burnout. If you feel like you are constantly operating in "survival mode," Anne provides a warm, restorative, and collaborative space to help you hit the pause button. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a certified specialist in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), she partners with individuals to unpack the roots of their chronic stress and build reliable, daily practices to regain a sense of calm and control.
By combining evidence-based psychotherapy with creative art therapy techniques, she helps clients bypass the intellectual overthinking that keeps stress trapped in the body. Together, you will develop sustainable boundaries, learn somatic grounding tools, and change how you react to pressure. Whether your stress is driven by high-functioning anxiety, professional burnout, a new medical diagnosis, deep grief, or the overwhelming "invisible load" of the parenting and perinatal journey, Anne is dedicated to helping you move from a state of constant depletion to resilient, balanced living.

Dr. Cara Bussell, PhD, LLC
Psychologist
Stress can build up over time or come on suddenly, affecting your mood, health, focus, and relationships. I work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities, life transitions, caregiving, or ongoing pressure. In therapy, we create space to slow down, gain clarity, and develop tools to manage stress more effectively. I use evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, and psychoeducation to help clients feel more grounded and resilient. If stress is interfering with your daily life, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MS, MSW, LCSW
I provide supportive guidance to individuals managing stress and navigating periods of change. I offer a safe, understanding space where clients can explore the sources of their stress, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and regain a sense of control. Using a strengths-based and solution-focused approach, I help individuals identify and address the underlying causes of stress while building emotional resilience and adaptability. Through techniques like mindfulness, relaxation strategies, and cognitive reframing, I assist clients in managing life's challenges more effectively, fostering a sense of balance and well-being even in the face of uncertainty.

Salvadore Coaching LLC
Life Coach, Holistic Life Coach, Certified Breathwork Instructor, Certified Hypnotist
Stress can be more than a burden—it can be information. It often reveals what you care about, and where you’ve been carrying too much alone. When stress is treated only as something to eliminate, we can miss the message underneath it: unclear boundaries, unsustainable responsibilities, unresolved emotions, or a life that’s become overly organized around urgency.
In our work together, we slow down the stress cycle and identify the patterns that keep it going—overcommitment, perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, or difficulty resting. We then build practical tools for emotional regulation, clearer priorities, and healthier boundaries. The goal isn’t just to feel less stressed, but to use stress wisely—so it becomes a catalyst for clarity, resilience, and a more sustainable way of living.
