Dr. Michael M. Grant
Psychologist, Licensed Clinical Psychologist PhD, MBA
There is "distress" and "eustress". Distress is that unpleasant sensation of feeling overwhelmed, pressed upon, burdened, and exhausted from carrying it all. It distracts us, disempowers us, and weakens us. Eustress is the feeling of exciting tension that, while seemingly stressful, can set us up for success. Let's change your distress into eustress!

Wayne G. Siegel, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, Clinical Psychology
Stress can stem from success, responsibility, and the quiet pressure to hold everything together. Whether you're managing professional burnout, caregiving demands, or the cumulative toll of perfectionism and overcommitment, I offer structured, evidence-based support to help you recalibrate and restore balance.
My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Behavioral Activation to address both the physiological and psychological dimensions of stress. We’ll identify the patterns that drive chronic tension, explore values-based decision-making, and develop practical tools to reduce overwhelm and increase resilience. For clients navigating high-stakes environments, I also offer strategic support for workflow optimization, sleep hygiene, and emotional regulation.
Therapy is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and tailored to your strengths. Whether you're a healthcare professional, entrepreneur, or someone quietly managing stress behind a high-functioning exterior, we’ll build a roadmap that supports both immediate relief and long-term sustainability.

Christopher Cannon
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, CAS, SEP
Chronic stress keeps the body on high alert, leading to tension, poor sleep, irritability, and burnout. I teach practical ways to recognize your stress responses early and help your nervous system return to rest. Beyond coping tools, we also look at the patterns, pressures, and old habits that keep you running on empty.
