Stress reduction seems to be a universal need in today's world. Workers struggle to meet rising employer demands, sometimes for less compensation. Students find themselves with less time but more expectations. Parents are expected to provide children with expansive, enriching and educational experiences while often balancing a marriage, career, and self care. Life can feel overwhelming. When people get overwhelmed, it can be difficult to stay on schedule, prioritize, make decisions, maintain friendships or meet expectations. Social media and technology make us more able to connect yet people feel more isolated than ever. The result is often sleep problems, lack of concentration, irritability, lack of planning, depression or anxiety. Psychotherapy can offer an uninterrupted, focused time to gather thoughts, identify goals and learn skills to make life run more smoothly so that you can thrive as well as survive.

I use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles (Defusion, Expansion, Connection, the Observing Self, Values and Committed Action) to give you tools to be fully present in the here and now.

Dr. Paige Hover
Psychologist, PsyD
Stress is commonplace at work, home, anywhere really and some people say they thrive under it. Stress that isn't managed well can also be very damaging to mental and physical health and can lead to burnout. I can help you understand what is making you feel stressed and set boundaries to reduce that stress. Then when you have a better understanding of yourself, I can teach you how to better manage stress in the future.

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.
