Mountain Crest Counseling Services, LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LCSW, and Register Associates
Stress can affect more than your mood—it can influence your sleep, relationships, concentration, energy, and ability to enjoy everyday life. When responsibilities and expectations begin to feel overwhelming, it can be difficult to slow down, think clearly, or know where to begin. Therapy provides a supportive, judgment-free space to step back, understand what is contributing to your stress, and find healthier ways to cope.
Outpatient therapy can help you manage overwhelm, identify stress triggers, set healthier boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop practical coping strategies that fit your life. Whether you’re dealing with work stress, relationship challenges, major life changes, burnout, or simply feeling stretched too thin, therapy can help you regain balance, clarity, and a greater sense of control.

Stress
Peaceful Warrior Wellness Services, LLC / Dr.Steven Ruiz Bettencourt, Psy.D.,LPC, Cht, EMDR
Licensed Professional Counselor, Doctor of Psychology, Licensed Psychotherapist, Certified Hypnotherapist, EMDR
Stress is an internal event. It is the result of an overly activated fight/flight mechanism that has not had a chance to wind down and return to a pre-activated mental and emotional state. A stress response may include increased blood pressure, hormone levels (cortisol, epinephrine/norepinephrine), heart rate, racing thoughts, irritability, negative cognition, depression, anger, as well as the decrease of patience, feelings of well being, hope and positive cognition. Psychotherapy would focus on journaling, identifying triggers, meditation, mindfulness, bio-feedback referral, diet, regular exercise, weight management, getting enough sleep, EMDR, hypnosis, ect.

Stress
Michael Pollet
Registered Social Worker, CSWA
Our work starts by acknowledging the social, cultural, and environmental conditions that may contribute to the problems that affect your quality of life and capacity to receive or engage in mental health care. Therapy is tailored to your preferences to minimize stressors and build skills for interacting more effectively with the outside world. The behaviors, emotions, relationship patterns, or self-beliefs that no longer work for you can be transformed, rather than pathologized by identifying external power imbalances that impede quality of life and highlighting the good intentions behind difficult interactions.

Stress
Elyse Gardner, MA, LPCA
Pre-Licensed Professional, LPCA
Chronic stress often gets treated as background noise, something to push through rather than address. I help clients recognize what stress is actually doing in their body, tension, shallow breath, a nervous system stuck in overdrive, and build real capacity to downshift out of it, rather than just adding another coping strategy on top.

Linda Schartman, MA LPC
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
In the U.S., the focus on hustle culture and economic pressures create toxic stress. I can help you sort through what level and types of activity fill your cup, or replenish your supply of spoons such that your life is sustainable. Also, we will talk about how to modulate stress exposure over time based on our needs.

Stress
Lesley Lacny
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.A, Psych.R, C.Psych, LPC
Stress can show up as feeling constantly overwhelmed, tense, irritable, or mentally exhausted. It often affects sleep, focus, mood, relationships, and your overall sense of balance and well-being.
I provide therapy for stress to help you understand what’s driving your overwhelm—both emotionally and in your nervous system. Together, we’ll explore the underlying patterns, pressures, and internal responses that keep you stuck in a heightened state of tension.
The focus is on helping you feel more grounded and regulated, while also building insight into what’s contributing to stress so you can respond differently, restore balance, and move through life with more ease and clarity.

Stress
Meghan Hanes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Chronic stress can affect every area of life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, irritable, or disconnected from yourself. Many high-functioning individuals become so accustomed to operating in survival mode that stress begins to feel normal. Therapy can help you better understand your stress response, develop healthier coping strategies, and create more balance in your daily life.

Stress
Wendy Jensen LCSW
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Certified Hypnotherapist, Diplomate Comprehensive Energy Psychology
Nearly half of women report a rise in stress levels over the past five years. And while women and men tend to cope with stress differently, we know that chronic stress contributes to a range of health problems in both sexes, including mental health disorders, heart disease and obesity, depression, anxiety, low sex drive, memory and concentration problems, headaches, upset stomach, lack of focus, lack of energy and mood swings.
Stress can be a motivator, and it can even be essential to survival. The body’s fight-or-flight mechanism tells a person when and how to respond to danger. However, when the body becomes triggered too easily, or there are too many stressors at one time, it can undermine a person’s mental and physical health and become harmful.
Stress is the body’s natural defense against predators and danger. It causes the body to flood with hormones that prepare its systems to evade or confront danger. People commonly refer to this as the fight-or-flight mechanism.
Managing stress calls for addressing the mind as well as the body, since both the brain and body contribute to symptoms. In my practice, I employ a variety of stress busting techniques derived from energy psychology including acupoint tapping, EMDR, Regenerating Images in Memory (RIM), guided meditation and exercises such as tai chi and qi gong movements meant to disapate stuck energy from the body.

Gresham is the Portland metro's largest eastern suburb, a working-class and increasingly diverse city that has absorbed many families displaced by Portland's housing costs, including significant Latino, Slavic, and Pacific Islander communities. Economic strain, housing instability, and thin east-county services shape mental health need. Multnomah County programs and the Portland market anchor access, with culturally specific providers in growing demand.
