Dr. Kelly Scherger
Psychologist, PhD, CST
Stress can affect your mood, physical health, relationships, sleep, and ability to feel present in your everyday life. When responsibilities and expectations begin to feel overwhelming, it can become difficult to prioritize your own needs and well-being. I help clients explore the emotional and physical impact of stress, identify patterns that may be contributing to distress, and develop practical strategies for coping and restoring balance. Together, we can work toward greater self-awareness, resilience, and a healthier relationship with the demands of life.

Dr. Samira Paul Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
At Olive Tree Psychology Clinic LLC, we recognize that while stress is an inevitable part of a high-achieving or transition-filled life, it doesn’t have to lead to burnout or physical exhaustion. We view stress through a holistic lens, understanding how the "always-on" nature of modern life compounded by cultural pressures and family responsibilities can keep your nervous system in a state of constant survival. Our approach focuses on moving from reactive "firefighting" to proactive regulation. We help you identify your primary stressors and develop a personalized "resilience toolkit." By teaching you how to quiet the physiological stress response and set healthy boundaries, we empower you to handle life’s demands without losing your sense of inner peace.

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.

Join the Rebellion (JTR23 Inc)
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Chronic stress in high-performing men rarely comes from having too much to do — it comes from a nervous system that never learned how to come down from high alert, a belief system that equates slowing down with falling behind, and an identity so tied to productivity that rest itself becomes a source of anxiety. I specialize in helping men understand and address the roots of their chronic stress through Character Driven Therapy — building sustainable habits and internal regulation that allow them to perform at a high level without their mental health paying the price.
