Therapy for Stress
Stress feels endless and impossible to handle.
Life isn’t going the way you want it to and it’s stressful. No, it’s worse than that: you’re facing opposition that you didn’t even invite, and it’s not clear if you can break free from it. Maybe it’s the weight of discrimination. Maybe it’s something in your home life that never resolves. Maybe it’s awful news that you don’t know how to handle. Or maybe it’s something completely private to you.
No matter what the specifics are, you feel stressed. Even if you get reprieve for a moment, it never stays away, and you’re seeing it affect other parts of your life:
- You’re irritable all the time
- You don’t sleep or eat like you used to
- You don’t feel relaxed after doing fun things
- You don’t have the energy for other people like you want to
- Venting doesn’t help but you still need to talk about it
Therapy for stress will help. You will...
- Figure out why this is happening
- Identify what you can control and change that
- Learn how to be less affected by what you can’t control
- Feel less intensity from your stress, even if you can’t stop it
- Improve your relationships and daily functioning
You don't have to be weighed down anymore.
Reach out and I’ll work with you to get through this, focusing directly on you and your needs.
We’ll figure out exactly what’s going on and the best way to work through it so it stops controlling your life. Together we’ll set up a plan for the future and you’ll learn ways to tackle your stress and take control of it.
I base my approach to stress on evidence-based models that focus on you, like Motivational Interviewing (MI), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), and psychodynamic talk therapy. That means you become your own therapist once we finish, confidently able to handle things on your own.
