Stress
Kailey Hockridge
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, EdM, LPCC
Stress is not only something we experience in our minds, but in our bodies, as well. We hold on to stress in many ways - muscle tension, headaches, disrupted sleep, appetite changes. I work collaboratively with my clients to understand how stress shows up for them and to develop a set of coping skills they can rely on to manage their stress more effectively.

Stress
Sara Lytle
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, MDiv
Chronic stress can impact emotional well-being, relationships, and the body, often leaving people feeling depleted or disconnected from themselves. I work with individuals experiencing stress related to caregiving, work, life transitions, or ongoing demands. Therapy can help you slow down, understand stress responses, and develop more supportive ways of relating to yourself and your circumstances.

Stress
Hanna Omori
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Chronic stress can quietly affect mood, relationships, and physical well-being. Therapy provides space to examine how stress is being carried internally, identify patterns of over-functioning or burnout, and develop more sustainable ways of responding to life’s demands.

Stress
Katie Steinert
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Stress is a part of life... but sometimes it can become overwhelming. Stress takes many forms - it can be an important life transition such as the adjustment from college to a career or a cross-country move. It can also take the form of relationship conflict, family tension, or just feeling burnt out. Therapy can provide a space to problem solve and work to minimize the impact that stressors have on your happiness and functioning. Using an empathic, supportive, and solution-focused approach, my role is to work collaboratively with you to determine practical steps to create positive change and manage stress.

Stress
Liza Hadden
Counselor/Therapist, MS
Stress is a normal part of living. Yet for those navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, OCD or other challenges, daily stresses can seem to compound into seemingly insurmountable obstacles. I am passionate about supporting clients come up with practical strategies for addressing internal and external stressors. Together we identify what's coming up for you and how to address it moving forward. I have additional training in adult ADHD and the unique challenges it poses relating to stress, motivation, executive function, emotional regulation. Additionally, I have advanced training in women's health (specifically PMS, PMDD, perimenopause, menopause, perinatal & postpartum) and nutritional mental health. I am passionate about supporting women at all stages of life, in addition to partnerships and families.

Dr. Shelby Kittinger

Stress often reflects an internal imbalance between responsibility, perfectionism, and emotional needs. Through relational exploration, I help clients increase self-awareness, develop healthier boundaries, and restore a sense of internal calm and agency.

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.

Stress
Amy Aadland
Psychologist, PsyD
You’ve spent years mastering the art of "doing it all," yet underneath the professional success and the polished exterior, you’re feeling the weight of constant anxiety and the quiet exhaustion of putting everyone’s needs above your own. Whether you’re navigating financial anxiety that keep you feeling insecure despite your achievements, or you suspect that your lifelong struggle to keep up is actually a sign of undiagnosed neurodivergence, I’m here to help you find clarity. My practice offers a specialized blend of individual therapy and comprehensive ADHD and autism evaluations tailored specifically for high-achieving women. Together, we’ll move past the people-pleasing and the mental fog to build a life—and a relationship with your finances—that finally feels grounded, authentic, and sustainable.

Catherine Saunders
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Bad stress and good stress are a part of life. It’s when it causes dysfunction in any aspect of our lives that we can use an advocate like a Therapist to work through the issues and to come up with relieving solutions.

Stress
Michael Pollet
Pre-Licensed Professional, SW
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
Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Stress is inevitable. Suffering is not. My approach to stress is informed by research from the fields of behavioral health and lifestyle medicine, as well as the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction program and so-called "third-wave" cognitive-behavioral models including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Let's surf the waves of life stressors together and learn how to stay (mostly) above water.
