Stress
Jennifer Luttman
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, ACS
Stress is an inevitable part of the human experience. All of us, at one point or another, will experience stress related to our careers or personal life.
When the stress we face outstrips our ability to cope, however, is when stress begins to take its toll on our health and well-being.
Chronic exposure to unmanageable levels of stress, ultimately, can lead to illness and burnout, and ruin the quality of our lives.
Stress, simply put, are the physical and psychological reactions we face in response to negative or worrying events, also known as stressors. These stressors can come in countless forms, such as looming deadlines at work, relationship issues or illness.
Even smaller, daily annoyances, such as the traffic we endure on our daily commute, can build up over time and overtax our mind's ability to cope.
While small amounts of stress are normal and nothing to worry about, chronic exposure to stress interferes with our ability to cope. Often, those who experience excessive amounts of stress turn to poor coping skills, such as binge eating, smoking, and substance abuse, as a way to relieve their stress in the short-term.
These habits, however, often serve to contribute to stress over time, as they come with considerable health consequences. As stress is an unavoidable part of life, it is necessary to develop healthy coping strategies to deal with stress, and to recognize the signs of excessive stress.

Jamie Andersen, M.A., LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, Woodland Counseling
Life can be challenging and there are so many reasons people start feeling stressed. I will partner with you to alleviate your stress by making lifestyle changes, learning relaxation techniques and changing unhealthy thinking patterns. Our brains have evolved powerful tools for coping with threats and danger—but in the face of modern stresses like stress at work, information overload, financial concerns and relationship issues, our survival reflexes can do more harm than good. In small doses, stress can help you perform under pressure and motivate you to do your best but chronic stress can wreak havoc on you physical and mental health. Our bodies were not designed to function in a chronic stress mode. If you frequently find yourself feeling frazzled and overwhelmed, I will partner with you to bring your nervous system back into balance. You can protect yourself and improve how you think and feel by adding calming and soothing routines into your life each day to decrease the symptoms of chronic stress and take steps to reduce its harmful effects. If you tend to get stressed out frequently—as many of us do in today’s demanding world—your body may be in a heightened state of stress most of the time. Chronic stress disrupts nearly every system in your body and can lead to serious health problems. It can suppress your immune system, upset your digestive and reproductive systems, increase the risk of heart attack and stroke, and speed up the aging process. It can even rewire the brain, leaving you more vulnerable to anxiety, depression, and other mental health problems. Health problems caused or exacerbated by stress include: Depression and Anxiety, pain of any kind, sleep problems, autoimmune diseases, digestive problems, skin conditions, such as eczema, heart disease, weight problems, reproductive issues and thinking and memory problems. I invite you to partner with me to utilize feeling stressed out as an opportunity to make healthy changes in your life and create an internal sense of peace.

Stress
Jimi Katsis
Counselor/Therapist, MA psych, Dip SW
Stress is a normal part of life, but when it becomes excessive or prolonged, it can have a negative impact on our mental and physical health. Stress can manifest in various ways such as difficulty sleeping, headaches, muscle tension, and fatigue.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping individuals manage stress and improve their overall well-being. I use evidence-based therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) which have been proven to be effective in treating stress.
CBT is a form of therapy that helps individuals identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their stress. MBSR, on the other hand, is a form of therapy that combines mindfulness techniques such as meditation and yoga to help individuals reduce stress and improve overall well-being.
In therapy sessions, we will work together to understand the underlying causes of your stress and develop strategies to manage your symptoms. We will also work on building stress coping skills, increasing resilience and promoting self-care.
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms of stress, it's important to seek help from a mental health professional. Together, we can work towards improving your mental health and overall well-being.
