Counseling for Stress Management

Stress is an emotional and physical response to the pressures and demands of life. It is normal to experience occasional stress from time to time, but frequent or even chronic stress can have long-term implications. In addition to affecting your relationships and quality of life, ongoing stress can manifest with physical symptoms, such as anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, appetite changes, and tension headaches. Some people even turn to substance abuse or addiction when stress becomes unmanageable. With stress management counseling, you can learn how to identify stress factors and either avoid them or approach them in a healthy and positive way.
