Stress
Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
Chronic stress in men often shows up as anger, anxiety, sleep disruption, or compulsive coping rather than conscious overwhelm. I help men whose nervous systems stay stuck in high gear due to pressure, trauma, or unrealistic internal demands. Therapy focuses on restoring regulation and control so stress no longer dictates behavior or relationships.

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.

Joe Groninga
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
I have been treating stress and anxiety symptoms for many years. Therefore, it's an area in which I have particular experience. You and I will examine the component parts of your symptoms such as emotions, behaviors, and thoughts. We’ll then examine how these parts are connected and how they impact each other. I’ll help you create changes to one or more of these parts to achieve your desired symptom relief. Helping people break free from their anxiety is one of the primary reasons I became a psychologist.

Dr. Qatana Samanen
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist
I help my clients learn stress management habits to effectively manage their stress.
Together we identify the sources of stress in your life, both external and internal. You then pinpoint which of your external stressors can be reduced or eliminated and we develop plans to achieve that.
You actually have much more control over the thoughts and feelings that contribute to your stress than you do the external stressors. We first identify these attitudes and beliefs. We then develop strategies you can use to challenge these habitual ways of thinking and transform them into more positive beliefs. As you learn to substitute positive patterns of thinking for the belief systems that created stress, you enjoy a calmer and more satisfying life.
