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.

Mae Winters
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Chronic stress can build slowly and quietly, often showing up as irritability, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, sleep problems, emotional overwhelm, or feeling constantly “on edge.” Many people manage stress by pushing through or taking on more responsibility, until it begins to affect their mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.
I work with adults experiencing ongoing stress to help them understand how stress is impacting their body, emotions, and behavior. Therapy focuses on increasing awareness of stress patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing practical coping strategies that support balance and resilience. We also explore boundaries, expectations, and lifestyle factors that contribute to ongoing overwhelm.
The goal of therapy is to help stress feel more manageable and less consuming, allowing clients to move through daily life with greater clarity, steadiness, and self-compassion.

Stress is a given in life. Suffering is not.
