Stress therapists in Ephrata, Washington WA
Stress
Philip Cooke
Psychologist, PhD
Life transitions, such as leaving home for the first time, starting a relationship or family, or taking on a new occupation, are unavoidable parts of life. Often we’re able to adapt to our new circumstances with relative ease. Other times, changes in life push us to the limits of our resilience. Therapy strengthens our natural resilience by helping us adapt more flexibly to unexpected or undesired life changes in the future.
Stress can expose limitations in our psyches, bodies, and communities we may have never knew existed. In therapy, we try to understand how stress is affecting your ability to cope and help build enduring strategies for dealing with new stressors. We work toward developing more flexible and intentional responses to life’s demands, and by doing so, make stress more manageable moving forward.

Michele Sitorus (Inner Peace Psychological Care)
Psychologist, Psy.D.
In therapy, we will explore the sources and impact of stress in your lives, as well as develop coping strategies to manage stress more effectively. Together we will identify stressors and triggers, as well as develop relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, mindfulness, and progressive muscle relaxation to reduce physiological arousal. Additionally, therapy may involve cognitive restructuring to challenge unhelpful thoughts and beliefs about stressors, as well as problem-solving skills to address stressors more effectively.

Dr. Nicole Parkes
Psychologist, PsyD
I offer a sanctuary for those weighed down by the burdens of stress. I understand how stress can quietly seep into every crevice of life, clouding judgment, straining relationships, and overshadowing joy. With a blend of empathy and expertise, I work with clients to uncover the sources of their stress, whether they lie in the chaos of daily life, professional pressures, or personal challenges. Our collaborative journey is about more than managing symptoms; it's about cultivating a sense of inner calm, resilience, and balance. Together, we will navigate the complexities of your stressors, transforming them into opportunities for growth and peace, allowing you to reclaim a life defined not by stress, but by serenity and strength.
