Stress
Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Chronic stress often gets normalized, especially for people used to running at full capacity. I help clients identify what's actually driving their stress load. Maybe that's performing at an unsustainable pace, unclear boundaries, or trying to hold too much alone. I work with clients on developing a life that doesn't depend on constant burnout to function.

Stress
Aaliyah Gilbert
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LSW
Stress can build quietly over time or feel constant and overwhelming, impacting your mood, energy, focus, and overall well-being. I support clients in identifying the sources of stress in their lives while also exploring how they respond to pressure, expectations, and daily demands. In our work together, we focus on developing practical coping tools, improving emotional regulation, and creating healthier balance and boundaries. My goal is to help you feel more grounded, capable, and in control of your day-to-day life, even when circumstances feel demanding or uncertain.

Stress
Margo Tirado MA LCPC
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCPC
Stress often isn’t just happening in your mind—it lives in the body. Many people come to therapy feeling tense, exhausted, or stuck in a constant state of urgency, even when they know they’re “safe.” In my work with stress, I focus on helping the nervous system settle, not just talking through the problem. When the body stays on high alert, insight alone isn’t enough; we need ways to help your system feel grounded again.
I use emotion-focused tapping (EFT) and gentle somatic, body-based practices to help release stored tension and calm overwhelm. These approaches work by bringing awareness to physical sensations, emotions, and stress responses in real time—allowing your body to reset rather than power through. Over time, clients often notice they feel more present, less reactive, and better able to handle daily pressures without burning out. Therapy becomes a place where stress is met with relief, safety, and real restoration—not just coping.
