Portsmouth, Virginia therapist: Alabaster Counseling, licensed professional counselor
Stress

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.

Washington, Washington, D.C. therapist: Kelsey Ellis, psychologist
Stress

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.

Virginia Beach, Virginia therapist: Alton Wampler, licensed professional counselor
Stress

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.

Stress

MindOverHealing Therapies

Hypnotherapist, CHt
In today's fast-paced world, stress has become an almost ubiquitous part of daily life. While some stress can be beneficial, motivating individuals to meet deadlines or perform at their best, chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Hypnotherapy, a therapeutic practice that utilizes the power of suggestion and visualization, offers a unique and effective method for managing stress. By addressing the underlying psychological triggers of stress and promoting relaxation and positive thinking, hypnotherapy can help individuals achieve a more balanced and harmonious state of mind.
