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.

Aaron Kapin
Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, SEP, LMT
There are a lot of ways to look at stress. Here's a way of looking at stress that I find useful:
Stress is what happens when your body builds up energy to handle one or more situations, but ends up rallying more energy than is necessary to handle those situations well. For example, you have to do your taxes? So your body pumps out a bit of cortisol to get you focused enough to take it seriously. Great. But what happens when your body just keeps dumping cortisol till you feel overwhelmed and exhausted? That's stress.
With Somatic Experiencing, we work together to teach your body how to use just enough energy to get the job done, and then let go of that energy once the job is finished. Rally, execute, then rest. Viola, less stress.
