Stress Therapy
Stress is a normal part of life—but when it starts to feel constant, overwhelming, or unmanageable, it can take a real toll on your health, relationships, and overall sense of well-being. At Perfectly Queer Counseling, we offer compassionate, individualized stress management therapy that helps you slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your capacity to cope and thrive.
You don’t have to push through or go it alone. We’re here to support you with tools, insight, and space to process what’s weighing on you.
Therapy for Stress
Therapy for stress creates a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the root causes of what you’re experiencing—whether it’s work-related burnout, family tension, chronic anxiety, identity-based stress, or simply trying to hold too much at once.
Together, we can work on:
Understanding and managing your stress response
Setting boundaries and rebalancing your energy
Navigating life transitions or major changes
Coping with internalized pressure, guilt, or perfectionism
Releasing shame around rest, slowness, or asking for help
Reconnecting to your values, needs, and nervous system
Stress doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means your nervous system is trying to protect you. In therapy, we can help it do that in ways that are sustainable and compassionate.
Therapy for Acute Stress Disorder
If you’ve recently gone through a traumatic or overwhelming experience, you may be dealing with acute stress disorder (ASD). Symptoms can include flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, emotional numbness, sleep disturbances, or high levels of anxiety.
We offer trauma-informed therapy for acute stress disorder to help you stabilize, process what happened, and access tools for safety and grounding. Early support can be incredibly effective in preventing long-term impacts and restoring your sense of control.
We’ll move at your pace, honoring both your survival strategies and your capacity for healing.
“Stress is not a personal failure—it’s a sign that something needs attention, care, and space to breathe.”
