Jessica Oliver, Aspire Counseling
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Oftentimes people come to counseling not because they have a specific mental illness, but simply because they're overwhelmed by the stress in their lives. Our therapists give you a safe space to talk through those stressors. We'll help you process your thoughts about situations in your life and commit to values driven actions to reduce that stress.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Chronic stress can become so familiar that it feels like the baseline, showing up as tension, irritability, mental overload, or constant urgency. Many women continue to meet responsibilities while quietly feeling stretched thin. In our work together, we focus on identifying the patterns that keep stress in place, building more supportive ways of responding to pressure, and creating space for recovery so that your system is not always operating in survival mode.

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.

Kieri Olmstead
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Chronic stress is your body and mind telling you that something is out of alignment — that you're carrying more than your share, saying yes when you mean no, or running a pace that isn't sustainable. At Simple Empathy we don't just teach stress management techniques. We look at why you're stressed, what you're afraid would happen if you slowed down, and what the relentless doing is keeping you from feeling. Direct, honest work for people who are exhausted and ready for something to actually change.
