Stress and Stress Management

Stress is such an issue today that it’s almost no longer a question of IF you’re being negatively affected by stress, but to what degree and how well you’re able to manage it. Stress can come from almost anywhere: work, rising bills and higher prices, big life changes, parenting and/or family issues, or relationship tensions. Even just the daily struggle to stay on track and on schedule can be stressful.

Feeling overwhelmed, trouble sleeping, headaches, fatigue, and muscle aches (especially in the neck and shoulders) are some of the most common symptoms; but stress can have even greater effects on your physical health like panic attacks, high blood pressure, indigestion, and sudden weight changes. With such wide-ranging impacts, effective stress management has become an essential skillset to maintain both your physical and mental health.

We offer a free phone consultation to talk with a therapist about how stress is affecting you, and together you will decide which of our staff therapists might be best able to help you manage, or even find ways to reduce, that stress.
