Stress
Maria Jose Rendon
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I work with adults under chronic, high-functioning stress, professionals and scientists managing demanding careers who look capable on the outside while running on empty internally. My approach is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, trained through the Beck Institute, which helps identify what's driving your stress response and build practical, sustainable ways to manage it, rather than just pushing through. Many of my clients are also navigating career disruption, immigration, or the particular pressure of being a first-generation professional. I offer sessions in English or Spanish.

Stress
Tracey Knows
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Managing a busy life filled with responsibilities can feel overwhelming, especially for those with high-achieving tendencies who push themselves to do it all. I help individuals navigate stress by creating balance, setting boundaries, and developing healthier coping mechanisms. Through mindfulness, cognitive reframing, and personalized stress management strategies, I support clients in reducing overwhelm, improving emotional regulation, and fostering a sense of control. My approach encourages a shift from constant pressure and burnout to a more sustainable and fulfilling way of living.

Stress
Carolyn Murphy, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Counseling Psychology
I have many years of experience helping clients who have been struggling with stress in various aspects of their lives. This may be stress at work or school, in their social lives or significant relationships, or with decisions they need to make. I believe that the quality of the therapist/client relationship is paramount to our work together, and because of this I highly encourage you to choose a therapist that feels like a "good fit" for you. I always start with an initial consultation appointment where I can learn more about your background and reasons for seeking therapy, answer any questions you may have, and then plan together from there. Starting therapy can feel daunting or overwhelming for many people, so it is important that we work at a pace that feels comfortable to you. My approach to therapy is interactive and supportive, with an overall goal of increasing self-awareness and coping skills to help promote the kind of changes that you would like to see.

Stress
Dr. Heather Sheets
Psychologist, PsyD
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but when demands begin to feel relentless, it can affect your mood, relationships, sleep, work, and overall sense of well-being. You may feel overwhelmed, constantly “on,” easily irritated, unable to relax, or as though you are carrying more than you can manage.
I work with individuals to understand not only what is creating stress in their lives, but also how they are responding to it. Together, we explore the thoughts, emotions, expectations, and patterns that may be contributing to feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
My approach is integrative and solution-focused. Using cognitive behavioral therapy, emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, and a strength-based perspective, we look at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and choices. We can identify unhelpful patterns, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop practical strategies for responding to stress in healthier and more effective ways.
Sometimes stress is connected to a specific circumstance—a demanding career, relationship difficulties, parenting, caregiving, divorce, or a significant life transition. At other times, the pressure comes from within: perfectionism, self-doubt, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling responsible for everyone and everything around you.
Therapy can help you recognize what is within your control, let go of what isn't, and create healthier boundaries around your time, energy, and relationships. My goal is to help you move from simply managing one crisis after another to developing a greater sense of balance, resilience, and control over how you respond to life's demands.
You don't have to wait until you are completely overwhelmed to ask for support. Therapy can provide the space to step back, understand what is happening, and develop a healthier way forward.

Stress
Carrie Gauthier
Hypnotherapist, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, CCHt
Those who suffer from chronic stress work can benefit greatly from my hypnotic programming and supportive frameworks like NLP, breathwork, EMT, regression, tapping, and others. We will reset the nervous system and hardwire in commands that signal a return to safety. The tools used can be turned to in triggering moments so you can restore emotionally within minutes. I train you in a technique you can do if you wake up to dread so we quickly alter your chemical makeup to an elevated state and a sense of hopefulness is restored. I also give you a tool that can be called on during times of feeling overwhelmed and overextended, so you can find clarity and a sense of calm to move forward, unimpeded. We explore beliefs and emotions associated with the stress you are experiencing, while identifying areas in life we can remove stress from realistically, and may find the root cause within a regression, where once the old emotions are finally released, we can begin wiring in the new ways of being that all support the goal of inner peace, calm, and effortless ease.
