Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Stress is a natural response, but when it becomes chronic it can affect focus, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Many people understand the sources of their stress yet still feel stuck in patterns of tension, overwhelm, or constant mental pressure. These responses are often reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to stress reduction is personalized and practical. Through hypnosis, we focus on helping the nervous system settle, reducing habitual stress reactions, and developing healthier responses to everyday demands. Each session is tailored to the individual rather than using scripted techniques, allowing the work to address both emotional and physiological components of stress.
Clients often seek hypnosis for work-related stress, caregiver stress, life transitions, or ongoing mental fatigue. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that helps clients remain aware and in control while learning to respond to stress with greater calm, clarity, and resilience.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help restore balance, focus, and emotional well-being.

Jennifer Francke Psychotherapy, LLC
Licensed Professional Counselor, LIMHP, LPC, LADC, LMHC
In today’s fast-paced world, stress can feel like a constant companion, affecting your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Whether it’s work pressure, family responsibilities, financial worries, or life transitions, stress can become overwhelming. Therapy can help you regain control, reduce anxiety, and cultivate a more balanced life. I offer a supportive, safe space where we can explore the sources of your stress and develop personalized stress management techniques tailored to your needs. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thinking, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) to promote relaxation, and relaxation techniques to reduce physical tension, we can work together to build healthier coping mechanisms. Additionally, I help you improve time management skills, incorporate self-care, and build emotional resilience to manage life’s challenges more effectively. With therapy, you can take the first step toward regaining balance, reducing stress, and improving your overall sense of well-being.

Kate E. Stephenson
Life Coach, ICF Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Holistic Life, Career & Executive
Stress is a normal, useful response to life; it’s the survival mechanism that helps us grow, learn and succeed. Distress is the negative impact of prolonged, severe, and unmanaged stress. Together we will co-create tools to abate and dispel your distress while capitalizing on good stress. I am NOT offering therapy—I leave the work of diagnosis and treatment of medical issues to medical professionals. However, coaching can absolutely complement and supplement therapy work; our work together will be therapeutic without being therapy. Taking a 5Ps approach to stress management, together we can explore your "perception" of your current stressors; gain "perspective" on the origins and instigators of your stress and on how you’d prefer to feel in the future; "prioritize" manageable and sustainable steps toward this future; ensure they are aligned with your professional and personal "purpose"; and put into "practice" the tools and behaviors to get you to that positive stress level.
