Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LCPC
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.

Addressing stress in therapy involves a proactive and holistic approach aimed at addressing the various physical, emotional, and cognitive components of stress. Through evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), relaxation training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I assist clients in identifying stressors, developing coping strategies, and fostering resilience. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment, I empower clients to explore underlying causes of stress and implement practical tools to manage it effectively. My specialized expertise enables me to guide clients toward achieving a healthier balance, enhancing overall well-being, and cultivating long-term stress management skills.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, such as leaving home for the first time, starting a relationship or family, or taking on a new occupation, are unavoidable parts of life. Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.

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.
