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.

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
Mensch Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
With any chronic high-functioning behavior patterns comes with added stress and pressure. You may not "feel" stressed but you notice your body shows signs of it. Increased fatigue, frequent waking, 4 cups of coffee a day, body aches, the list goes on forever. Sure, we can chalk it up to living in a capitalistic society and our cultures emphasis on always doing something. Even with a culture we can't change, our bodies are screaming at us to listen. Your engine needs a break. I'm not asking you to throw in the towel on everything that stresses you out (if only)! I am asking you to slow down, recalibrate your nervous system, and figure out a routine that works for you. We'll map out your stress patterns, incorporate somatic practices that work for you, and identify what is worth keeping and what is not.

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.

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
Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it." This quote by the late, great Dr. Maya Angelou illustrates my approach to stress management, which is guided by research from the fields of behavioral health, lifestyle medicine, and "third-wave" cognitive-behavioral models including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Let's surf the waves of life together and learn how to stay (mostly) above water...while moving toward a life filled with joy, purpose, and meaning.

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.
