stress (in psychology) A mental, physical, emotional or
behavioral reaction to an event or circumstance (stressor) that disturbs a person or animal's usual state of being or places increased demands on a person or animal; psychological stress can be either positive or negative.
I employ an evidence - based, cognitive -
behavioral approach in my work with adults and adolescents experiencing stress, anxiety, depression,
reactions to trauma, adjustment
to life
events, and
behavioral health concerns (e.g., insomnia, coping with chronic illness, addictive behaviors).
