Stress
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults under chronic, high-functioning stress, professionals and scientists managing demanding careers who look capable on the outside while running on empty internally. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify what's driving your stress response and build practical, sustainable ways to manage it, rather than just pushing through. Many of my clients are also navigating career disruption, immigration, or the particular pressure of being a first-generation professional. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Stress
Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Stress is often normalized to the point that people stop questioning it. You’re expected to keep going, keep producing, keep showing up—no matter how much you’re carrying. But a lot of what we call “stress” is actually chronic overload. Unrealistic expectations. Systems that demand more than they give. Lives that don’t have enough space built into them to actually sustain the pace. So you push through, adapt, and hold it together—while your body, your focus, and your capacity start to wear down.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t treat stress like something you just need to manage better. We challenge it. We look at what’s actually creating the pressure—your environment, your roles, your patterns, and the broader systems you’re operating within. From there, we actively work with you to shift what’s within your control and build supports that actually hold. That might mean setting boundaries that disrupt expectations, restructuring how you approach your time and energy, regulating your nervous system, or rethinking what you’ve been taught is “normal.” We also name the cultural narratives that glorify burnout and over-functioning, so you’re not internalizing something that was never sustainable to begin with. This is about helping you move out of constant survival mode and into a way of living that actually works for you.

Stress
Dr. Lisa Wilke
Psychologist, PsyD, LP
Are you feeling stressed? On the surface it may look like you have it all: a wonderful partner, nice family, or a great career but underneath, you are overwhelmed. Others may think you have it all together, sometimes, even coming to you for support. They don't realize you are experiencing increased worry, anxiousness, and exhaustion. You feel stressed out, distracted, or even panicked. You just can't keep up. When you stop to think about it, you are not living the life you expected. You are tired and don't know where to turn.
How might it feel to live the life you always wanted? To be on track and in control. Imagine what it would feel like to be at ease, confident, and in charge of your life. To live truly authentically. I can help you get there. Schedule an initial consultation through my website to get started.

17 Years Experience
Online in Wilmington, NC
Wilmington is a coastal North Carolina city that has grown significantly as a retirement destination, university community (UNC Wilmington), and—somewhat unexpectedly—a major film and television production hub, with Screen Gems Studios making Wilmington one of the East Coast's most active filming locations and earning it the nickname 'Wilmywood.' The mental health landscape reflects this mix: retiree adjustment and aging concerns, student well-being needs at UNCW, and the particular stresses of the creative and entertainment industry workforce. Hurricane Florence and other significant storms have left a legacy of disaster-related anxiety and trauma for coastal residents, and climate-related worry about storm intensity and sea level rise is a growing theme in local therapy practices. Common therapy concerns include hurricane trauma and climate anxiety, retiree adjustment, student mental health, creative industry stress, and the identity challenges of a city navigating rapid population growth and a changing economic character.
