Understanding Stress and Its Impact
Stress is your body’s reaction to any change that requires an adjustment or response. It can manifest physically, emotionally, and cognitively, affecting your mood, behavior, and physical health. While some stress can be beneficial, chronic or overwhelming stress can lead to serious health issues, including anxiety, depression, and cardiovascular problems.
Your Path to Stress Relief
Initial Consultation & Assessment
Your journey begins with a thorough initial consultation to discuss your specific stressors, symptoms, and goals. We will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand the unique factors contributing to your stress experience. This allows us to tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses your individual needs and challenges.
Developing Coping Strategies
We will work collaboratively to identify and implement effective coping mechanisms. This may include techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thoughts, mindfulness practices to enhance present-moment awareness, and relaxation exercises. Our goal is to equip you with practical tools to manage stress in real-time.
Building Resilience
Therapy focuses on building your psychological resilience, enabling you to bounce back from adversity. We explore strategies to improve emotional regulation, problem-solving skills, and self-care routines. This proactive approach helps to reduce the impact of future stressors on your well-being.
Ongoing Support & Progress
Stress management is an ongoing process, and we provide continuous support as you integrate new habits into your life. We regularly review your progress and adjust your plan as needed, ensuring sustained improvements. Our aim is to foster long-term mental health and a more balanced life.

Testimonials
I was referred to Dr. Shay Burns to get tested for autism and ADHD as an adult. I was really impressed! After only a few hours of interviews and testing, she wrote a report about me that showed she understood me at a deep level. Plus she’s very friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to.
