Chronic Stress Can Feel Like:

  • Constantly moving from one responsibility to the next without ever feeling fully caught up or able to rest

  • Carrying so much for so long that exhaustion begins to feel normal

  • Difficulty turning your mind off, even during downtime, evenings, weekends, or time with loved ones

  • Feeling pressure to keep performing, producing, or showing up for others despite having little left to give

  • A growing sense that you're putting in tremendous effort while feeling increasingly depleted in return

  • Struggling to create space for yourself amid the demands of work, caregiving, family, school, or daily responsibilities

  • Wondering how long you can continue operating at your current pace without something needing to change

Chronic stress often affects far more than productivity; it can influence your relationships, health, and overall quality of life.

There are ways to start feeling more like yourself again. At ALPS, we use a range of therapy approaches to help you get there.

  • Rather than trying to eliminate painful thoughts or emotions, ACT helps you respond to them differently. You learn how to step back from unhelpful patterns and focus your energy on what’s important to you. Even when things feel difficult, the goal is to keep moving toward a life that feels more meaningful and fulfilling.

  • BA focuses on small, realistic changes in your daily routines and activities that can gradually improve mood and energy. When it becomes harder to stay engaged, this approach helps you gently reintroduce structure and meaningful action. Over time, these small shifts can build momentum and make it easier to reconnect with your life.  

  • Through CBT, we explore the connections between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You learn to recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck and develop more helpful ways of responding. Over time, this can reduce emotional distress and make situations feel more manageable. The goal is to build practical skills you can use in your everyday life.  

  • CBT-I is an evidence-based treatment designed to help improve sleep by addressing the thoughts, behaviors, and patterns that can keep insomnia going over time. Rather than simply focusing on getting more sleep, this approach helps reduce the stress and frustration that often build around bedtime while creating healthier sleep routines and habits. Over time, CBT-I can help sleep feel more consistent, restorative, and less emotionally exhausting to manage.

  • Mindfulness and relaxation-based approaches help you develop greater awareness of your thoughts, emotions, and physical responses while learning ways to slow down and reduce overwhelm. Together, we work on building practical skills that support grounding, stress reduction, emotional regulation, and a greater sense of presence in daily life. Over time, these strategies can help you feel calmer, more connected to yourself, and better able to navigate difficult moments with flexibility and intention.
