Stress is a normal psychological and physical reaction that happens to everyone. It’s a feeling of emotional or physical tension that makes you feel irritable, overwhelmed, or anxious.
While stress affects us all, some people cope with stress better than others and there is always room for improvement. When you are feeling stressed or emotionally drained, therapy for stress can help immensely. Working with a therapist at Palo Alto Therapy can help you reduce stress levels, cope in healthy ways, and enhance your sense of well-being for the short term and long term.
When you’re under too much stress, it impacts your physical and mental health, especially if you don’t have positive coping skills. If you’re feeling word down and looking to live with more peace and mental health, we can help.
There are many coping strategies and available treatments to help you reduce your stress.

I liked the emphasis on doing concrete things to get results-writing down negative thoughts, trying to say things to counter those thoughts…Thank you for helping me make my life better.
