Stress
A Little Healing LLC
Counselor/Therapist, LPC
Sometimes stress isn’t just about having too much to do. It comes from feeling like you have to hold everything together. You may be managing work, relationships, family responsibilities, and everyone else’s needs while quietly wondering how much longer you can keep doing it all. I work with women who feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and guilty about taking time for themselves. Together, we’ll identify what is contributing to your stress, explore patterns such as people-pleasing, perfectionism, and difficulty setting boundaries, and develop healthier ways to respond to the demands in your life. You don’t have to become better at carrying everything. Sometimes the work is learning what was never yours to carry in the first place.

Alabaster Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Modern life places enormous demands on girls and women, and it can feel like there is always more to do, more to manage, and more to hold together than any one person reasonably should. At Alabaster Counseling, we work with girls and women who are feeling stretched thin, burned out, or overwhelmed by the weight of everything on their plates. We know that stress is not always something you can simply eliminate, but we do believe that you can change your relationship with it. Through evidence-based therapy, we help you identify the sources of your stress, understand how it shows up in your body and mind, and build practical tools to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and in control of your everyday life. You deserve more than just surviving. You deserve to breathe.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Chronic stress can become so familiar that it feels like the baseline, showing up as tension, irritability, mental overload, or constant urgency. Many women continue to meet responsibilities while quietly feeling stretched thin. In our work together, we focus on identifying the patterns that keep stress in place, building more supportive ways of responding to pressure, and creating space for recovery so that your system is not always operating in survival mode.

Alton Wampler
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC-S
From an IFS perspective, stress often activates protective parts that try to shield you from overwhelm, sometimes by controlling, withdrawing, or overthinking. Noticing and befriending these parts with curiosity allows them to feel seen rather than running the show. When your Self leads, stressed parts can relax, helping you respond with clarity and calm instead of reactivity.

Norfolk is home to Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — and sits at the center of the Hampton Roads military metro, with a therapy community substantially defined by the needs of active-duty service members, veterans, and military families navigating deployment stress, PTSD, and the challenges of military life. The city's large African American population and history of racial inequity create consistent demand for culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma, community resilience, and intergenerational family dynamics. Sentara Norfolk General Hospital and the Hampton VA Medical Center provide major institutional mental health anchors for the region. Old Dominion University, which absorbed Eastern Virginia Medical School in 2024, maintains clinical training programs that feed practitioners into the broader Norfolk therapy community.
