Dr. Hiyaguha Cohen
Counselor/Therapist, Ph.D., LPCA, MA, MFA
Stressed out? Let me help you create some space in your life and in your psyche to take the pressure off. First step will be strategizing to help you get immediate relief, and next, to determine what part of the stress is external and what part is internal. In other words, are you putting undue pressure on yourself? If so, I'll work with you using interventions such as hypnotherapy, energy psychology techniques, lifestyle interventions, and grounding techniques.

Stress: From Constant Pressure to Systemic Calm
Moving Out of Survival Mode and Back into Your Life
Stress is often minimized as a "part of life," but when it becomes chronic, it is a physiological and systemic crisis. It is the feeling of being permanently "on," where the minor inconveniences of life trigger a massive internal overwhelm. In my practice, we don’t just look at your "to-do" list; we look at the systemic and neurological roots of why your body has stayed in a state of high alarm.
The Architecture of Overwhelm
Chronic stress isn't just about having "too much to do"—it is about a nervous system that has lost its way back to safety. Together, we explore:
The Burnout Cycle: Addressing the "adrenal fatigue" and emotional exhaustion that come from living in the "gap" between your resources and your responsibilities.
The "Fawn" & "Freeze" Responses: Understanding how your stress might manifest as people-pleasing (fawning) to keep the peace, or a total shut down (freeze) when things get too heavy.
Demand Avoidance: Identifying how chronic stress can lead to a "rebellious" brain that avoids even simple tasks as a desperate bid for autonomy.
A Clinical Approach to Regulation
With over 20 years of experience, I use a multidimensional framework to help you lower the "baseline" of your stress:
Somatic Regulation: We focus on the "gut-brain axis" work to help your body physically exit the stress response.
IFS-Informed Parts Work: We get curious about the "Manager" parts of you that believe if you stop being stressed, everything will fall apart. We work to build trust so these parts can finally soften.
Systems Theory & Power: We acknowledge the external stressors—social inequity, workplace toxicity, and family dynamics—that are not "in your head," but are real systemic pressures that require boundaries rather than just "coping."
The "Healer's" Burden
I have a specialized focus on the unique stress of therapists, pastors, and medical professionals. When you are the "sturdy container" for everyone else’s crisis, your own system often pays the price in secret. I provide a confidential sanctuary to address the secondary trauma and professional pressure that leads to systemic collapse.

Alexandra Vartosu
Hypnotherapist, Holistic Psychotherapist & Master Life Coach, MC. (Psy.), IAPMC
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the demands of daily life? Stress can take a significant toll on your physical, emotional, and mental well-being. You might find it hard to relax, constantly feel on edge, or struggle with physical symptoms like headaches and fatigue. Left unmanaged, chronic stress can lead to more serious health issues and impact your overall quality of life.
I understand how pervasive and debilitating stress can be. My approach to managing stress is holistic and integrative, combining evidence-based psychotherapy with mindfulness, hypnotherapy, energy healing, and life coaching. Together, we will explore the underlying causes of your stress and develop personalized strategies to help you find relief and build resilience.
In our sessions, you will find a calm and supportive environment where you can learn to manage stress effectively. We will work on techniques to reduce tension, improve your coping skills, and restore balance to your life. My goal is to help you create a sustainable practice of self-care and mindfulness, allowing you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and confidence.

Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I support individuals who feel overwhelmed, chronically stressed, emotionally exhausted, or as though they are constantly operating in survival mode. Together, we explore not only the circumstances creating stress, but also the underlying beliefs, patterns, and nervous-system responses that can make it difficult to slow down, rest, set boundaries, or feel safe enough to let go. Through a trauma-informed, somatic, and integrative approach, I help clients develop greater awareness of their bodies and emotional needs while building practical tools for regulation, grounding, and resilience. The goal is to help you move from constantly managing and pushing through life toward feeling more present, grounded, connected, and able to respond to life from a place of greater choice.
