Stress
TyaCamellia (Tya) Stone
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
You live a demanding life, have a busy schedule, and tend to your most valued relationships. These daily stressors turn into anxiety, and anxiety turns into fear. You aren’t functioning at your best, or feeling like yourself. You deserve a life that isn’t infested with stress and worry!
You're dealing with constant worry about the future, so you can’t enjoy the present. You have a never-ending sense of “something bad is going to happen”. Paralyzing thoughts make you hesitate from doing things that are good for you. You experience crippling pressure to have everything figured out before you are allowed to feel okay. There isn't enough room in your head for all this stress, so the tension manifests in your body. You have waves of anger and sadness, and constantly struggle to get decent sleep.
Stress is in control of your life right now. It lies to you about what you’re capable of. It steals your ability to focus. It cheats you out of joy and ease. It invades your ability to have fun and connect with others. You’re white-knuckling your way through every day, but hide it behind a smile.
You might notice yourself feeling:
Not quite like your old self, but also not like the person you want to be.
You feel guilty for not being better, but simultaneously you feel straight-up exhausted!
You’ve spent your life trying to be perfect at the expense of your own happiness.
You’ve put yourself last for so long, that it feels selfish to think about what you need.
I Will Help You:
Clearly set and maintain boundaries in a way that is kind to yourself and others.
Confidently ask for what you want, and declare what you need — without feeling guilty.
Develop a strong, positive sense of self that is balanced and well-rounded.
Identify thoughts and scenarios that invites stress in.
Understand what anxiety is, how it can help you, and how it hurts you if you aren't careful.
Gain clarity on what’s keeping you stuck, so you can make choices that are right for you.
Develop healthy habits that evolve into a natural part of your lifestyle.
Connect with your intuition, and learn to listen to it.
Learn practical stills to control what you can, and let go of the rest.
Stress is a part of life — but it doesn’t need to run your life!

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.

Stress
Dr. Daniele Levy, Bay Area Cognitive Therapy
Psychologist, PhD, MBA
In my approach to treating stress, I prioritize evidence-based strategies that empower individuals to navigate life’s pressures more effectively. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help clients identify stressors and the unhelpful thought patterns that amplify them. We work together to reframe these thoughts, develop practical coping strategies, and incorporate relaxation techniques. My aim is to build resilience and equip clients with lasting tools to manage stress, enhance their well-being, and improve their overall quality of life. Whether you're dealing with work challenges, family dynamics, or other stress-inducing factors, I collaborate with you to find personalized solutions that foster lasting change.
