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
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
Luke Colbourn
Counselor/Therapist, Licensed Professional Counselor
One word that describes so many different experiences. It can be helpful to not stop with that one word, and bring curiosity to these experiences: "How do I know I'm stressed? Is there a body feeling that cues me in on it? What are my usual responses to these feelings? What helps and what hinders? What have I been taught about stress? What are my expectations about experiencing and responding to stress? There's generally more depth and complexity to our experience and understanding of stress than most of us have been raised to expect.

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.
