Stress
Shannon Mick
Counselor/Therapist, NCC, LPC
Chronic stress can feel like carrying an invisible weight—especially for endurance athletes juggling high training loads, work, family, and recovery. You might notice it in tight shoulders, racing thoughts that won’t quiet, irritability that spills into relationships, trouble sleeping, or that constant “wired but tired” feeling that makes even easy runs feel hard. Over time, unmanaged stress can weaken your immune system, sap motivation, and increase risk of burnout or injury.
In our work together, we create a personalized plan to understand your unique stress triggers and build sustainable ways to respond. Using CBT to reframe overwhelming thoughts, DBT skills for distress tolerance and emotion regulation, ACT to align actions with your values, and movement-informed strategies that leverage running as a tool for regulation, we focus on practical tools that fit your busy life.
Many clients experience meaningful relief such as:
Lower overall stress levels and better recovery between hard efforts.
Improved sleep, energy, and immune function.
Stronger boundaries and ability to say “no” without guilt.
Greater calm and focus both on and off the trails.
More consistent training and enjoyment of the sport they love.
I regularly share helpful resources like the Self-Care Assessment, Distress Tolerance Coping Skills (DBT), and the distress scale tool so you can track progress and have go-to strategies between sessions.
You don’t have to power through stress alone. With the right tools, you can reduce its hold, protect your health and performance, and create space for the strong, balanced life you want. Let’s work together so stress stops running you—so you can finish stronger every day.

Stress
Dr. Amanda Malak
Psychologist, Clinical Psychologist
I specialize in helping individuals cope with stress by teaching effective techniques to manage overwhelming feelings and build resilience. Through evidence-based approaches like CBT, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques, I help clients identify the sources of their stress, challenge unhelpful thought patterns, and develop healthy coping strategies. ACT is also oftentimes needed to address societal issues which contribute and exacerbate stress. My goal is to help individuals regain control, reduce the physical and emotional impact of stress, and improve their overall well-being.

Jill Verofsky
Licensed Professional Counselor, M.S., L.P.C., N.C.C.
Stress isn't inherently evil—it's an evolutionary survival mechanism designed to dump cortisol and adrenaline into your bloodstream so you can outrun a predator. The disaster happens when your brain treats an unread email like a saber-toothed tiger, keeping your gas pedal floored 24/7.
