Stress
Robin Wellington
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-A, RYT-500, CTP, CSTFP
When working with stress, I help clients understand how ongoing pressure can affect both the mind and nervous system. Chronic stress often shows up as tension, irritability, overwhelm, or difficulty slowing down. Together we explore the sources of stress while building practical tools for nervous system regulation, mindfulness, and greater balance so you can respond to life’s demands with more calm, clarity, and resilience.

Stress
Carey Luker
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LPC
If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, constantly stressed, or like you’re running on autopilot just trying to keep up, you’re not alone. Stress can build up quietly over time until even small things start to feel exhausting, and it can be hard to slow down without feeling guilty or like you’re falling behind. In therapy, we’ll work together to better understand what’s contributing to your stress and find coping strategies that actually fit your life and needs. My approach is supportive, practical, and judgment-free, giving you space to breathe, process, and feel supported instead of carrying everything on your own. Together, we’ll focus on creating healthier boundaries, more balance, and ways to help life feel calmer, more manageable, and less overwhelming.

Stress
Gerry Letendre
Hypnotherapist, RPh, MBA, CHt
Stress is a natural response, but when it becomes chronic it can affect focus, sleep, mood, and overall well-being. Many people understand the sources of their stress yet still feel stuck in patterns of tension, overwhelm, or constant mental pressure. These responses are often reinforced at a subconscious level.
My approach to stress reduction is personalized and practical. Through hypnosis, we focus on helping the nervous system settle, reducing habitual stress reactions, and developing healthier responses to everyday demands. Each session is tailored to the individual rather than using scripted techniques, allowing the work to address both emotional and physiological components of stress.
Clients often seek hypnosis for work-related stress, caregiver stress, life transitions, or ongoing mental fatigue. Hypnosis offers a drug-free, complementary approach that helps clients remain aware and in control while learning to respond to stress with greater calm, clarity, and resilience.
This work is not a replacement for medical or mental health care, and I do not recommend changing prescribed medications without consulting a healthcare provider. When appropriate, hypnosis can be used alongside other professional support to help restore balance, focus, and emotional well-being.

Stress
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.

Columbia is South Carolina's state capital and home to the University of South Carolina, creating a city with a significant student population, major public health infrastructure, and the complex racial and political dynamics of a Deep South capital navigating its Confederate history and ongoing racial equity challenges. Fort Jackson, the US Army's largest initial entry training post, is located in Columbia and brings a significant military population whose mental health needs—particularly around transition and trauma—are an important part of the local care landscape. Prisma Health provides behavioral health services to the community, and a private therapy sector serves the city's mix of students, government workers, and military families. Common therapy concerns include student mental health, military and veteran transition, race and identity in a historically complex Southern capital, anxiety, depression, and the political stress of living in a contentious state capital environment.
