IVAN VELASCO
Counselor/Therapist, MSMFT, NCC, LCPC
I began my professional career as a pastor. While in the pastoral ministry, I began to experience stress leading me to severe depression. As a pastor, it was difficult to accept my condition feeling that my depression was a sign of spiritual weakness. I had to leave the ministry for some time seeking professional help. This experience helped me to learn about stress and depression, particularly in the professional ministry; later, I was able to help many people struggling with similar issues.

New Leaf Counseling and Wellness
Psychologist
Addressing stress in therapy involves a proactive and holistic approach aimed at addressing the various physical, emotional, and cognitive components of stress. Through evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), relaxation training, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I assist clients in identifying stressors, developing coping strategies, and fostering resilience. By creating a supportive and non-judgmental therapeutic environment, I empower clients to explore underlying causes of stress and implement practical tools to manage it effectively. My specialized expertise enables me to guide clients toward achieving a healthier balance, enhancing overall well-being, and cultivating long-term stress management skills.

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.
