Robert A. Walker and Associates, Counseling and Consulting Center Inc.
Counselor/Therapist
Stress is a natural part of life. It comes in many forms: emotional, mental, and/or physical. The occasional stressors are harmless to our health. In fact, stressors can be utilized to push us to work towards our important goals, or motivate us out of a bad situation. Moderate levels of stress allow the body and mind to respond at a faster speed. However, when the stressor becomes chronic or extreme, it can cause significant mental strain and long-term health problems.

Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy, we will explore the sources and impact of stress in your lives, as well as develop coping strategies to manage stress more effectively. Together we will identify stressors and triggers, as well as develop relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce physiological arousal. Additionally, therapy may involve cognitive restructuring to challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about stressors, as well as problem-solving skills to address stressors more effectively.

Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, such as leaving home for the first time, starting a relationship or family, or taking on a new occupation, are unavoidable parts of life. Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.
