Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I approach therapy from the belief that emotional difficulties such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, grief, and other psychological concerns are best understood not only by their symptoms, but by how we respond to pain, uncertainty, expectations, and change. My work often focuses on helping clients recognize unhelpful patterns, become less governed by comparison or rigid thinking, tolerate discomfort more effectively, and identify small but meaningful shifts that can change the direction of their lives. Rather than viewing people as simply “right or wrong” or “well or unwell,” I try to understand what is happening, how it developed, and what may help someone move forward with greater awareness, flexibility, and intention.

Robin Renucci
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, Ed.S, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes constant or overwhelming, it can take a toll on your physical health, emotional well-being, relationships, and overall quality of life. I work with individuals who are navigating high levels of stress—whether related to work, family responsibilities, academic pressure, caregiving, or life transitions.
In our work together, we identify the specific sources of your stress and explore how it shows up in your thoughts, behaviors, and body. My approach combines evidence-based strategies with compassionate support to help you build resilience, regulate your nervous system, and develop healthier ways of coping.
You don’t have to stay in survival mode. With the right tools and support, you can create more space for calm, clarity, and balance—so you can meet life’s demands without losing sight of your own well-being.

Aubrey Richardson
Licensed Professional Counselor, MS, LPC
Stress becomes a problem when it is no longer temporary. Many of my clients are living in a constant state of pressure, juggling multiple roles, responsibilities, and expectations without enough support.
Over time, this does not just impact your thoughts. It shows up in your body. You may notice chronic tension, difficulty relaxing, trouble sleeping, irritability, brain fog, or a feeling of always being “on.” Even when there is nothing urgent happening, your system does not fully power down.
This is what chronic stress and burnout feel like in the body.
Rather than simply adding more coping strategies, our work focuses on identifying the patterns and expectations that are keeping your system activated. We incorporate mindfulness and somatic awareness to help you reconnect with your body, increase your capacity to slow down, and create real shifts so your life no longer requires you to operate in a constant state of overwhelm.

Shawna Damiani
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Everyone has stress. But there's a difference between the kind of stress that pushes you forward and the kind that has quietly taken over — the kind that lives in your shoulders, disrupts your sleep, shortens your fuse, and follows you into the moments that are supposed to be restful. When stress becomes the background noise of your entire life, it stops being a symptom and starts being a problem of its own.
We live in a culture that has a complicated relationship with stress. On one hand, we're told to slow down and practice self-care. On the other, we reward overwork, glorify busyness, and treat exhaustion like a badge of honor. It can be hard to even recognize how depleted you are when running on empty has become your baseline.
At Love Let Out, we work with people whose stress has stopped being manageable — those who are burning out at work, overwhelmed by the demands of caregiving or parenting, caught in financial pressure that won't let up, or simply carrying too much for too long without enough support. We also understand that for many people, chronic stress isn't just about circumstances. It's about a nervous system that never fully learned how to come down, patterns of overcommitment rooted in people-pleasing or fear, or a life that has drifted far from what actually matters to you.
We don't just teach coping skills — though we do that too. We help you look at the bigger picture. Where is the stress really coming from? What is it costing you? And what would it take to build a life that doesn't require you to be in survival mode just to get through the week?
You are not a machine. You were never meant to run like one.

Kevin Brown, Therapy in Mindfulness
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but how we navigate it makes all the difference. Healthy stress keeps us motivated, focused, and engaged, while chronic or overwhelming stress can weigh us down, deplete our energy, and follow us long after the stressful moment has passed. In our work together, we will explore how stress affects you physically and emotionally, develop somatic tools for regulation, and cultivate practices that support balance and resilience. My goal is to help you move through life’s challenges with greater ease, learning how to release tension, restore your energy, and reconnect with a sense of calm and strength.
