Dr. Munazza Abraham
Psychologist, PhD
I help clients understand the emotional, cognitive, and physiological impact of chronic stress, particularly when tied to high-responsibility roles or systemic pressures. Through practical coping strategies, nervous system regulation techniques, and cognitive restructuring, clients learn how to find their flow. Clients learn how to reduce overwhelming feelings and thoughts while increasing their abilities to ebb and flow with their waves of stressors. Clients build an adaptive state of more acceptance and ease. My approach is both skill-based and restorative. My practice emphasizes that “Community is medicine” with my creation of therapy groups to increase your sense of belonging and enhance collective healing. I also tap into ancestral knowledge, holistic and evidence-based practices, and the arts, all combined with your interests to tailor your healing experience.

Stress has become so normalized that most of us do not even recognize how much we are carrying until our body starts sending us signals we can no longer ignore. The headaches, the tension, the sleepless nights, the snapping at people we love, the feeling that no matter how much you check off your list, there is always more. We wear busy like a badge of honor and wonder why we feel like we are running on empty.
But chronic stress is not just uncomfortable. It is dangerous. And it is telling you something important.
At CCW International, we help you slow down long enough to actually listen. Stress rarely exists in isolation. It is usually connected to deeper patterns, perfectionism, people-pleasing, lack of boundaries, unprocessed trauma, or simply the weight of carrying too much for too long without enough support. We help you identify what is actually driving your stress, not just manage the symptoms on the surface.
For the high-achieving women we serve, stress often comes with a side of guilt for even admitting they are struggling. For our veteran and military family clients, stress can be layered with hypervigilance and a nervous system that never quite got the memo that the mission is over.
Wherever your stress is coming from, you do not have to just push through it. You deserve to actually feel better. And we can help you get there.

Ann Aspnes
Psychologist, PhD, ABPP
Managing stress effectively requires a structured, proactive approach rather than passive coping. In my practice, I utilize Problem-Solving Therapy (PST)—a transdiagnostic, evidence-based intervention for which I served as a subject matter expert. Rather than feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, we work together to pinpoint your specific stress triggers, strengthen emotion regulation skills, and apply practical, step-by-step techniques to address stressors head-on. By transforming complex challenges into manageable action plans, this approach builds clear problem-solving mastery, fosters resilience, and restores a lasting sense of confidence and optimism in your ability to navigate life's hurdles.

Aysha Wells
Counselor/Therapist, LGPC
Stress can leave you feeling mentally exhausted, emotionally overwhelmed, and disconnected from yourself. I help clients navigate the demands of work, relationships, family, and everyday life while developing healthier ways to manage pressure. Together, we can identify what is within your control, understand how stress affects your thoughts and body, and build practical strategies for coping, setting boundaries, and creating more balance. My goal is to help you move from simply getting through the day to feeling more grounded, capable, and connected to yourself.

Christine Highfill
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCPC-S
Stress is a natural part of life, but when it becomes overwhelming, it can take a toll on your health, relationships, and overall well-being. Constant worry, irritability, sleep problems, or feeling “on edge” may leave you drained and struggling to keep up. In therapy, I provide a supportive space to explore what’s fueling your stress and to build personalized strategies for managing it more effectively. Together, we’ll work on restoring balance, increasing resilience, and helping you feel more grounded and in control of your daily life.
