Stress
Chrissie Chua- Ly van manh
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC-D, LPC
I work with clients experiencing high levels of stress, overwhelm, and burnout- often individuals who are managing demanding careers, family responsibilities, and internal pressure to keep everything together. Stress can build gradually over time or show up suddenly during periods of transition, leaving people feeling emotionally drained, anxious, irritable, or disconnected from themselves.
Many of the clients I work with are high-functioning and outwardly capable, yet internally struggling with exhaustion, pressure, and difficulty slowing down. Stress can begin to affect sleep, relationships, concentration, and overall sense of wellbeing, making it harder to feel present or grounded in daily life.
In therapy, we work together to understand both the external demands and internal patterns that contribute to stress. This includes exploring perfectionism, people-pleasing, over-responsibility, and difficulty setting boundaries, as well as identifying what your mind and body need in order to feel more regulated and supported.
I integrate practical coping tools with deeper emotional insight, helping clients not only manage stress in the moment but also shift long-standing patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of overwhelm. My goal is to help you feel more balanced, resourced, and able to move through life with greater ease, clarity, and self-compassion.

Stress
Insight Psychological Group
Psychologist, Psy.D.s, LCSWs, LPCs, LCADCs...
Stress is the visceral experience of worry and strain. Often the reaction to ongoing stress is depression, irritability, illness or anger. Clients seek therapy when this alarm signal is blinking red, and that's precisely the purpose of it. In therapy, a client can help figure out what needs to be done in a more manageable way, and what should really stop being done; and then build the courage to start to make changes.

Stress
Dr. Israel Martinez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST, PhD
My therapy services are designed to address the unique emotional and psychological challenges that gay men often face. Growing up and living in systems that stigmatize and marginalize us can lead to anxiety, depression, trauma, shame, and isolation. I offer a safe, affirming space where you can explore these experiences, find healing, and build resilience.
Anxiety, Depression, and Trauma
Gay men experience higher rates of anxiety, often rooted in rejection, discrimination, and past trauma. Together, we’ll identify the sources of stress and use evidence-based strategies to reduce symptoms, improve mood, and restore balance. For those healing from trauma or PTSD, therapy offers a supportive environment to heal from painful memories and regain a sense of safety and control.
Building Confidence and Managing Stress
Stigma and chronic stress can undermine the ability to feel safe. My approach focuses on strengthening self-esteem, developing healthy coping tools, and helping you cultivate self-compassion and confidence.
My Approach
I use a client-centered, affirming approach that validates your experiences while empowering you to grow. With years of experience working with gay men’s mental health, I integrate proven therapeutic methods to support you in creating lasting change and living more fully and authentically.

Dr. Mike Abrams
Psychologist, PhD, MBA, ABPP
I co-authored, with Dr. Albert Ellis, the first Rational Emotive Behavior therapy article on the treatment of stress. Please contact me and I will send you a copy so you can better understand my approach. But I have worked with stressors like life-threatening disease, impending, criminal charges, or the mundane but depleting ones like a frustrating workplace.

Elizabeth is New Jersey's fourth-largest city and one of its most densely populated and ethnically diverse communities, a port city in Union County with a long history of immigrant settlement that today is home to large Dominican, Puerto Rican, Colombian, Ecuadorian, Haitian, and other Latin American and Caribbean communities, alongside significant West African populations. The city has a high poverty rate and limited private therapy infrastructure, and the most pressing mental health needs are often addressed through emergency and community health channels. Multilingual care—in Spanish, Haitian Creole, and other languages—is essential, and bilingual and bicultural therapists who understand the specific experiences of recent immigrants, refugees, and documentation-insecure communities are in consistent demand. Common therapy concerns include immigration trauma, family separation, economic stress, anxiety, depression, and the compounding psychological challenges of navigating life in a dense urban community with limited resources and significant systemic barriers.
