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
Alisia Ives at Status Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Stress is similar to anxiety only it is something we more associate with a temporary time. For instance, if you have a parent who is toward end-of-life, and you are the primary caregiver, this is often a draining circumstance if it lasts a long time. There is also long term stress due to money; or work. Even raised stress levels due to changes in world environment. If this is a transient situation, then talking may reduce the tightness enough. Exercise, meditation, shifts in planning, alternate options - we will talk about what it is that may help you in your situation.

Stress
Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
Feeling stressed on a regular basis is one of the most taxing things we as humans can experience. It affects us, physically and mentally, and can be so exhausting. If you're "feeling it," walking around on edge all the time, unsure if you've experienced any relaxation in months, snapping at those you love, or even feeling physical pain from muscle tension - I can help. In our work together, we will use a combination of "brain" approaches and "body" approaches to help you identify the sources of your stress, what you would like to feel instead, and teach your body how to work with you instead of against you to get you feeling like you have more space again.
Starting therapy can be stressful at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Bruce Clark
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Stress can build up quietly or hit all at once, and burnout can hit hard. Whether it’s work, relationships, or just the pace of life, constant stress can take a toll on your mind and body. I offer therapy that helps you slow down, understand your stress response, and develop sustainable strategies to feel more balanced, present, and in control.
