Stress
Melanie Carey
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA
Stress often builds gradually until it becomes a constant background state — feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stretched, mentally overactive, or unable to fully rest even when there is space to do so. Many people describe feeling like they are always “on,” managing responsibilities, emotions, and expectations without enough internal recovery time.
In therapy, we explore both the external pressures contributing to stress and the internal patterns that shape how you respond to it. From a psychodynamic and trauma-informed perspective, chronic stress is often connected to long-standing roles such as over-functioning, caretaking, perfectionism, or difficulty setting boundaries.
Rather than focusing only on stress management techniques, this work also helps you understand what your nervous system is communicating through stress symptoms. Often, stress is a signal of unmet needs, accumulated emotional load, or disconnection from internal pacing and limits.
Using Focusing-Oriented Psychotherapy, we slow down enough to notice the body-based experience of stress; the tightness, urgency, fatigue, or shutdown, and begin to relate to it with awareness rather than override it. This allows space for regulation and new internal choices to emerge.
Over time, clients often experience greater capacity to rest, clearer boundaries, and a more sustainable rhythm in daily life.

Stress
Michelle Borowitz
Psychologist, PhD
I know from experience the toll that stress and burnout can take on your well-being, and how difficult it can be to even imagine realistic change. If you're feeling burned out, we'll take a step back and look at your values - the important parts of your life that bring you meaning. Then we'll examine where there might be a mismatch and find areas where there might be potential for change. This could involve increasing your engagement in other activities that fulfill you, removing yourself from a situation or environment that depletes you, strategically engaging with your support network, or other strategies that fit your personal experience. I don't take big decisions lightly, and if considering a major change we'll check in throughout to ensure the steps you're taking are value-consistent and take into account the full context of your needs.

Stress
Brittany Rine
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC
Everyone at one point or another will experience stress in their daily lives. How we manage stress can impact our daily lives and overall health. Sometimes all it takes to take back control over our life stressors is having someone walk alongside of us and suggest new approaches to managing the stress. You are more than capable of overcoming your stress in a healthy way. I approach issues surrounding stress relationally and through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Stress
Dr. Jeffrey Kehoe
Counselor/Therapist, ND, L.Ac, BCB, FABORM
Stress is no longer merely associated with how our body responds to the bear in the forest. In our fast-paced society, and increasingly with the pandemic, our bodies are often responding like we are running or hiding from that bear when we are in the comfort of our own homes. My goal is to empower patients via education on the stress response in addition to teaching them how to retrain these conditioned responses. This can often be done effectively with regular biofeedback and acupuncture as a foundation of treatment.

Bellevue is across Lake Washington from Seattle and one of the most significant technology hubs in North America, home to a dense concentration of major tech employers and tens of thousands of tech workers whose industry creates well-documented mental health challenges—burnout, imposter syndrome, overwork, and the anxiety of high-stakes careers in a fiercely competitive sector. The city is extraordinarily diverse, with large Chinese, Indian, Korean, and other Asian communities whose cultural approaches to mental health stigma and help-seeking create a more complex picture of who seeks therapy and how. One of the country's most expensive housing markets adds significant financial stress alongside the professional pressures of tech employment, and many residents navigate both simultaneously. A well-developed private therapy sector serves Bellevue's affluent population, with many bilingual therapists serving the large immigrant professional community; telehealth has expanded access for those with demanding schedules.
