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.

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.

Online in Virginia Beach, VA Virginia
Virginia Beach and the surrounding Hampton Roads metro area have one of the highest concentrations of active-duty military personnel and veterans in the country, anchored by Naval Station Norfolk — the world's largest naval base — creating sustained demand for therapists who specialize in military trauma, PTSD, and the dynamics of military family life. Therapists experienced with moral injury, deployment-related adjustment, and service-to-civilian transition are well represented, and many practices specifically orient their care toward service members and their families. Sentara Healthcare and Bon Secours provide institutional mental health resources for the region, complemented by a growing private practice community. Virginia Beach's coastal environment and strong community ties give the city a relatively stable baseline, though the psychological weight of military life remains a defining feature of the local therapy landscape.
