Sara Fraser

Our world is so stressful and impacts our systems on all levels-bodily, relational, communal, familial. Work to understand the signs and sources of stress and how to navigate those can be very important to shedding the negative implications of navigating toxic systems and environments and how those can come to impair and disable healthy functioning. Mindfulness and mindful self-compassion can particularly inform this work as does right action such boundary setting and bolstering communication.

Dr. Kelsi Clayson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Life is always in flux. And sometimes major life events can disrupt our equilibrium. Relocations, breakups, new family structure, career shifts, loss, health issues, and educational pursuits are just a few of the many changes that can leave us feeling unsettled, disoriented, and off-track. No matter which season of life you are in, we will explore the aspects of your transition that feel particularly challenging and work to help you acclimate, embrace, or perhaps even reevaluate this next chapter in your story.

Stress
Ryan Shannon
Counselor/Therapist, LMHCA, MA, MS
Stress is an unavoidable part of life, but it can become difficult to manage when your body and mind stay in a constant state of alert. You may feel tense, irritable, exhausted, distracted, emotionally reactive, or unable to relax even after the immediate stressor has passed.
My approach is both insight-oriented and practical. Drawing from Adlerian and psychodynamic therapy, we may explore how early experiences, family roles, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or beliefs about responsibility and success influence the way you respond to pressure. Sometimes current stress is intensified by older patterns, such as feeling that you must handle everything alone, avoid disappointing others, or remain productive at all times.
I also use CBT to help you identify unhelpful thinking patterns, reframe stressful situations, and separate genuine problems from catastrophic predictions. Solution-focused therapy can help us clarify what is within your control and identify realistic steps toward improving the situation.
Because stress is also physiological, we may use tools that help calm the nervous system. These can include mindfulness, guided imagery, breathing and relaxation exercises, and autogenic training, a form of self-hypnosis that uses calming mental cues and body awareness to promote relaxation.
When appropriate, I may suggest practical missions between sessions, such as setting a boundary, asking for support, changing an overwhelming routine, taking intentional breaks, or practicing a relaxation technique during moments of pressure.
My goal is not to remove every stressor from your life. It is to help you understand your stress response, recover more effectively, and face demanding situations with greater calm, flexibility, and confidence.
