In today’s fast-paced, hectic world, stress is something that nearly everyone feels to some degree. Stress is characterized by feelings of mental, emotional, or physical strain, and is often caused by perceived feelings of demand. This demand may come from work, school, relationships, or traumatic events, to name a few. For some, stress may present itself as worry, exhaustion, or mental strain, while for others it may have more physical manifestations, including achiness, fatigue, or headache. 

In any case, stress can cause problems in personal, social or family life, and can feel overwhelming. While stress isn’t always severe or debilitating, it is often overwhelming and never positive. While stress is not a mental illness or disorder, it can be lessened and managed by talking with a therapist. 

A therapist can help you determine what is causing your stress, how to control feelings of stress, and how to reduce the stress that you feel. No matter the degree of your stress, we can help. To speak with someone today, browse our directory of trusted, experienced therapists
