Stress
Jessica Thompson
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
Some stressful events are outside of our immediate control and require increased mindfulness practices and stress tolerance. On the other hand, some stress can be released by prioritizing what gives us positive energy and releasing what drains or overwhelms us. It is possible to feel more present and connected to life, even while dealing with stress.

S. Abigail McCarrel : Welcome Home Family Therapy
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, DCSW
Stress is pretty much the hottest buzz word in mental health these days and that is for a good reason. Never have families and children been under more stress in their lives than right now. As a result, families are falling apart. Technology and screen time has filled the gap, which only contributes to an increased stress response in the brain. To help families manage this stress, we look closely at screen time in the family and gently bring in limits that make sense for the child's development. We carve out time for parents and children to play together to increase trust and connection. We also learn to practice self-compassion, which helps to build everyone’s window of tolerance. Most importantly, however, we go back and integrate primitive reflexes that are getting in the way of handling stress in a more consistent, regulated way. My primitive reflex integration work is a brain balance program that grows connections in the lower parts of the brain. This helps to create a foundation for a more resilient mind. So, together, we will get moving, have fun and grow some new connections.

Stress
Melanie Goetz
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
When we feel bogged down by stress, it’s often difficult to get the same sense of enjoyment we once received from life’s simple pleasures, hobbies, and social engagements. A sense of guilt sometimes follows any effort to honor ourselves with self-care activities, a guilt that says “you should be doing…” or asks “is this really the best use of your time?”
Therapy can be the place to examine the root of the criticism, the values in the decisions you’re making, and to work through the mental, emotional and physical exhaust that so frequently comes with stress. We’ll cater our approach to precisely what your current experience is, considering how you’ve overcome past experiences of stress, as well.

Babak Max Karimbeik
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Stress is not just a health risk but it causes you to make decisions from the wrong part of your brain. When you're under stress you're predominantly in the reptilian part of your brain in the middle which is the least evolved part of the brain. When we're stressed we're less capable of making decisions from our pre-frontal cortex where we're more able to make rational decisions that can benefit us. Not being able to manage stress can be a stepping stone into more severe mental health symptoms.

Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
Whatever your particular source of stress, I encourage you to take is seriously and reach out for the support that can help you. The world is becoming more and more stressful, and it's really taking a heavy toll on people. People often say that they shouldn't complain, that they're dealing with "first world problems." While we are very privileged in the U.S. in the 21st century, people also significantly underestimate what a heavy psychological toll modern life takes on us. We weren't meant to live with such urgency, so many threats constantly coming from so many directions, so much information, so much concrete and so much traffic, surrounded by strangers. There is a great need to deal with stress, and I'm here to help.
