Stress

Serving clients at Lakewood · Centennial · Northglenn · Telehealth available statewide in Colorado

 

Stress is inevitable. Chronic, unmanaged stress is not. When stress becomes persistent, it affects your physical health, mental health, relationships, and ability to function. Therapy goes far deeper than relaxation techniques—it addresses the patterns, beliefs, and life structures that fuel ongoing stress.

Signs You May Benefit from Stress Management Support

  • Feeling constantly overwhelmed, rushed, or unable to keep up
  • Physical symptoms: headaches, tension, stomach problems, fatigue
  • Difficulty sleeping due to worry or racing thoughts
  • Irritability, short temper, or emotional reactivity
  • Using food, alcohol, or screens to decompress
  • Neglecting relationships or things you enjoy due to stress

Our Treatment Approach

We use CBT, mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) principles, ACT, and practical life-structure work to address both the symptoms and the sources of stress. We also explore perfectionism, overcommitment, and people-pleasing patterns that keep the stress cycle going.
