STress Counseling NYC

Stress counseling in NYC can help you develop tools to manage stress, prevent burnout, and recognize signs before you’re in it.

  • Feeling tired, drained, or physically exhausted, despite getting adequate amounts of sleep
  • Increased irritability
  • Feeling emotionally numb
  • Losing interest in activities that at one point felt enjoyable
  • Decreased motivation and enthusiasm 
  • Increased tension, headaches, or digestive problems

  • Experiencing a sense of detachment from your work and social life 
  • and many others

Chronic stress and burnout can take a significant toll on your mental, emotional, and physical well-being, affecting every aspect of your life.

We specialize in helping ambitious individuals understand and manage stress and burnout, empowering you to regain balance and vitality.

Signs of stress and burnout include:

Are you feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, and emotionally drained by the demands of life? 

The best therapy for stress is one that honors all the layers of your experience—mental, emotional, physical, and even spiritual. Stress doesn’t just live in your thoughts; it can show up as tight shoulders, racing breath, difficulty sleeping, or a sense of disconnection. That’s why a holistic approach can be especially powerful.

Therapies that often support this kind of healing include:

What therapy is good for stress?

Somatic therapy
mindfulness-based practice
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
 Integrative Therapy



When it comes to healing stress, the “best” therapist is someone who sees you as a whole person—not just a mind full of racing thoughts, but a body that’s carrying tension, a heart that might feel heavy, and a nervous system that’s been running on overdrive.

Holistic or integrative therapists can be especially helpful for stress because they draw from a range of approaches. Rather than offering a quick fix, they support deeper healing—helping you tune in to what your body is saying, gently shift patterns that no longer serve you, and reconnect with what brings you ease, clarity, and balance.

Can counseling help with stress?

Stress may still come and go, but with the right support, you’ll be more equipped to move through it with self-awareness and steadiness. Counseling reminds you that you don’t have to do it all on your own. There’s room to rest here.

Counseling can be a powerful support when stress starts to feel like too much. It offers a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone. You can unpack what’s been building up, understand what’s fueling your stress, and begin to reconnect with your calm.

Stress and burnout are intricately linked with physiological symptoms. Your body secretes stress hormones that can contribute to an uptick in migraines, increased body tension, lethargy, or increased restlessness. Thus, we find it particularly important to consider your full context when working with stress and burnout. 

Your psychotherapist may use a range of modalities, depending on your needs and experiences. Each treatment plan is tailored to you, with your goals and preferences at the forefront.
