Sarah Elizabeth McMillan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MA, MSW, RSW
Mental health support for physical illness, pain and uncertainty. We know that anxiety, depression and chronic stress often occur in tandem with or as a result of physical illness but can be overlooked or we may fear addressing these mental health challenges directly. Managing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, pain and others alongside of coordinating appointments, medications, treatments can feel overwhelming and isolating. It can be difficult to figure out how we can realistically fit in our needs while juggling the other demands and priorities we have.

Some stress can be positive however as the level of stress increases in one’s life it can become overwhelming. Stress may lead to difficulty sleeping, feeling fatigued, mood swings, body aches, etc. Experiencing high levels of stress may have a negative impact on one’s relationships.

Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Stress is the body's physiological response to adversity. We all experience stress in our lives from time to time, whether that is relationship stress, job stress, racial stress/trauma. We will spend some time understanding how stress shows up for you in the mind and the body. We'll talk about your body's acute stress response, aka "fight, flight, or freeze" response, and engage in practices during session, that bring the body back to its window of tolerance. We'll develop a plan together that includes regular activities and practices to reduce stress in your life and engage your parasympathetic nervous system response (rest and digest).

Registered Psychotherapist, Joshua Dvorkin, MPsy, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying),
In today's fast-paced and demanding world, stress has become a prevalent issue that affects many individuals. Excessive stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical well-being, making it crucial to seek professional support. Psychotherapists specialize in helping individuals effectively manage and cope with stress, fostering resilience and promoting overall wellness.
How I can Help with Stress:
1. Identifying Stressors: Psychotherapists work collaboratively with individuals to identify the specific stressors in their life. Through exploration and assessment, they help clients gain awareness of the factors contributing to their stress, whether they are work-related, relationship-based, or rooted in personal challenges.
2. Developing Coping Strategies: Psychotherapists provide evidence-based techniques to develop healthy coping strategies for managing stress. These may include relaxation techniques, mindfulness exercises, breathing exercises, and time management skills. By teaching individuals practical tools to regulate their stress response, psychotherapists empower clients to regain control over their lives.
3. Cognitive Restructuring: Stress is often fueled by negative thinking patterns and distorted beliefs. Psychotherapists help individuals identify and challenge these unhelpful thoughts, replacing them with more realistic and positive perspectives. This cognitive restructuring process enables clients to reframe stressful situations and develop a more adaptive mindset.
4. Emotional Support: Psychotherapists offer a safe and non-judgmental space for clients to express their emotions related to stress. They provide validation, empathy, and support, helping individuals process their feelings and reduce emotional distress. Through this emotional support, psychotherapists help clients develop healthier ways of managing and expressing their emotions.
5. Lifestyle Modifications: Psychotherapists work with individuals to identify lifestyle factors that contribute to stress and develop strategies for positive changes. This may include exploring self-care practices, setting boundaries, improving sleep hygiene, and incorporating healthy habits like exercise and nutrition. By addressing these lifestyle factors, psychotherapists help clients create a healthier and more balanced life.
6. Building Resilience: Psychotherapists assist individuals in building resilience, which enables them to adapt and bounce back from stressful situations. They help clients develop skills such as problem-solving, assertiveness, and effective communication, empowering them to navigate stressors with increased confidence and resilience.
By seeking support from a psychotherapist, individuals experiencing high levels of stress can gain valuable tools and strategies to effectively manage stress, improve overall well-being, and enhance their quality of life.
