stress management Counseling in manhattan

it's time to come up for air and learn to manage your stress

You put pressure on yourself to do well and be successful in everything you are responsible for. Perhaps, you often take on the role of the go-to person when anyone needs help. You are constantly trying to prove to everyone that you have what it takes. But this is where you start to feel overwhelmed and stressed.

You want to go on dates and spend time with family and friends, but how? Especially when you're also worried about your financial security, your health, your busy schedule, and all the external stressors that life throws at you.

Maybe you've even been laid off from work, had a family obligation you didn't expect, or something else that you weren't prepared to handle. Now you're having to deal with it all at the same time. It's starting to seem like too much and you start to feel like you are drowning in stress. It's as if you can't come up for air or take a moment to catch your breath.

You want to succeed at work, maintain a social life and financial stability, and still have time for yourself. 

You’re feeling overwhelmed trying to balance your personal and professional life and all of the obligations that come with it

why might someone seek out therapy for stress management?

Life often feels like a never-ending cycle of stress. It is filled with many obligations and responsibilities that all pile up and leave you feeling overwhelmed. Especially if you are managing multiple commitments that come with being an adult or come with being a professional or college student who is wanting to excel. You want to do it all, but sometimes you need a little help to navigate the stressful times in your life.


SOME REASONS WHY SOMEONE MIGHT SEEK OUT STRESS MANAGEMENT THERAPY INCLUDE:

  • Adjusting to life transitions
  • Navigating personal and professional commitments
  • Stress that comes from relationships both platonic and romantic
  • Financial independence and the responsibilities that come with it
  • Managing mental and physical health including stress related to health
  • Chores both inside and outside the home
  • Any other life stressors that you might be feeling overwhelmed by.

It's time to come up for air and allow yourself to take a break. Learning to balance all that is on your plate will help you feel more in control of your life and create healthier ways to manage stress. It will allow you to have more energy and focus on the tasks that need to be done as well as enjoy moments of leisure.

let our Manhattan Counselors help you manage your stress

At Manhattan Wellness, we have worked with many individuals who have felt that they were spread too thin between their various amounts of commitments, responsibilities, and what they wanted to accomplish. Before therapy for stress management, they felt as if their list of responsibilities and commitments were endless. They were overwhelmed by their busy schedule, their unmaintained mental and physical health, and their constant worry about how to manage it all.

The stress was so overwhelming that even taking care of their physical and mental health was too much to handle. But after working with us and through stress management, they were able to decide what was necessary for them to do versus what was optional. They were able to create a more balanced schedule for themselves and implement healthier habits to handle the stress. They were able to make powerful strides toward a more fulfilled self that knows about and respects their limits.


We know it's impossible to never experience a stressful event. There are a lot of experiences that can be out of your control, but we hope you'll trust us to provide the resources, tools, and skills to overcome and cope with whatever life is throwing your way. Our goal is to help you create and find balance in your daily life. We understand you want to excel, do it all, and still have time for yourself, but we also know that you need a break so you can come up for air and take a breath.



WE WANT YOU TO WALK AWAY FEELING MORE IN CONTROL AND CONFIDENT IN YOUR ABILITY TO MANAGE YOUR STRESS AND STRESSFUL SITUATIONS.

Our stress therapists at Manhattan Wellness approach stress management therapy by working with you to identify what is urgent and what is not. This way you can learn how to prioritize your time and energy. You will also learn about boundary setting and learning to say "no" to help minimize all that is on your plate to make room and give your energy towards what is necessary. 

our approach to stress management Counseling

Your stress management counselor will also help you to challenge stress related to anxious thinking by recognizing realistic and unrealistic thoughts and expectations for yourself through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). You will also learn mindfulness techniques, such as journaling, and deep breathing. We also take on a coaching and motivational interviewing approach to support you in gaining control when it feels like everything is too much. It will also help you find the how-to for navigating your stressors.
