Stress
Corina Bair
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Stress is an everyday occurrence for most of us, but that doesn't mean it has to hold us back from being our best selves and achieving our goals - so let's get down to it. I have years of experience working with teens, young and middle-aged adults in overcoming the many ways stress manifests in our lives, whether that is due to social, personal, work, past trauma, every day life, or just something you've always had. Assisting my clients with building insight and understanding into your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors is an essential part of my therapy practice, and provide evidence-based practice tools that you can use outside of therapy as well.
I am passionate about providing a safe, compassionate, and welcoming space where you can be open about your stressors so we can work through them together. Click that contact button and we can schedule a free consultation call today!

Suzanne Greene
Marriage and Family Therapist, JD, MA, LMFT, CCTP, CAGCS
Stress is an emotional and physical response to the pressures and demands of life. It is normal to experience occasional stress from time to time, but frequent or even chronic stress can have long-term implications. In addition to affecting your relationships and quality of life, ongoing stress can manifest with physical symptoms, such as anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, appetite changes, and tension headaches. When stress becomes unmanageable, some may develop maladaptive coping mechanisms and turn to self-medicating or other unhealthy behavior. Psychotherapy can help. Stress management therapy is about understanding that your physical, emotional and mental health is important and connected. Through therapy, you will learn to identify stress factors and approach them in new healthier ways.

Regina Lazarovich
Psychologist, PhD
Challenging life transitions can often bring up anxiety and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can help. CBT is an evidence-based form of therapy that focuses on changing patterns of thinking (cognitions) and behaviors associated with stress and anxiety. CBT is supported by research and considered to be the “gold standard” treatment for anxiety disorders. Research indicates that over 60% of those who undergo CBT experience a significant improvement in anxiety symptoms in 12 - 20 sessions. The tools and skills learned during CBT last a lifetime.
I commonly teach CBT strategies such as relaxation skills, problem solving, assertiveness skills and cognitive restructuring, which means reframing unhelpful thoughts. If you feel that stress and anxiety are negatively impacting your life then you are worthy of help and I would be honored to be your guide towards greater freedom and ease.

Stress
Dr. Kelly Smith
Psychologist, Ph.D.
When you work in certain fields ongoing stress is a part of your job. However, sometimes when you go home it isn't so easy to just put that down. Families don't always understand why you are on guard, have difficulty turning off your brain, are irritable, angry, sad, or shut down emotionally. Sometimes those hard experiences that you see stick with you. At work they all get it, but you can't always be at work. It is possible to learn ways to better manage stress and let go of those memories so that when your loves ones need you, you can be present, loving, and connected. Don't let your job make your family a statistic.

Life Coach, WAPP
How do you deal with stress?
We feel stress whenever we have the feeling of losing control. When we think we cannot cope with the amount of work, when something unforeseeable thwarts our plans or when the demands placed on us are too high etc. - then stress always arises.
Created by fear of possible catastrophes, of failure or of not being able to do something, stress drives our adrenaline levels up. This costs the body an enormous amount of energy and in the long run can even make us seriously ill.
A study by Harvard University has now found that employees with personnel responsibility are on average less stressed. The control you gain through more responsibility apparently outweighs the stress. This means that the more we relinquish control and feel out of control, the more we feel stressed.
