and see if you’re a good fit.
Your parasympathetic system controls your body while you sleep, allowing you to “rest and digest.” This normal process of repairing the body, can become dysregulated after traumatic or highly stressful experiences. Treatment by Stella aims to restore balance and promote nightly rest and repair functions.
Helping reduce the symptoms of stress and anxiety can, in turn, improve sleep. Some studies have suggested that stellate ganglion blocks may be effective in improving sleep, particularly those with sleep disorders related to stress and anxiety.
Stella’s advanced SGB protocol called The Dual Sympathetic Reset (DSR) can enhance the ability of the parasympathetic nervous system to rest and to repair the body. Restoring calm to an over-activated fight-or-flight system helps regulate the sleep-wake cycle and prevents further disruptions in normal sleep patterns.
Cognitive behavioral therapy can also improve sleep in many people with insomnia. In fact, research has shown that CBT can be as effective as sleep medication in the treatment of insomnia, and it has the added benefit of having fewer side effects.
More people are living with Post-Traumatic Stress than you may think but research suggests that only 2-11% of people experiencing trauma symptoms are actually diagnosed.
Oftentimes, when someone experiences a traumatic or highly stressful event, their body’s fight-or-flight response – which is connected to the sympathetic nervous system – turns on. If it stays on long after the traumatic event, the body may be experiencing what is referred to as sympathetic dysregulation.
By stopping the nerve growth that is occurring and eliminating or pruning the extra nerve fibers that have been created, the amygdala can be reset to its pre-trauma state.
Stella’s advanced Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) protocol, Dual Sympathetic Reset features two injections on the same side of the neck of a local anesthetic next to a bundle of sympathetic nerves that can bring the fight-or-flight response back to its pre-trauma state. With a physical reset, individuals can gain some peace in their bodies and minds so they can better focus on other aspects of the healing process. Brain imagery data suggests that sympathetic dysregulation causes changes that are visible in the brain.
While most people who are infected with COVID-19 recover from their symptoms within four weeks, studies indicate that around 10% of people experience Long COVID symptoms. Medical professionals continue to innovate as we learn more about how COVID-19 can impact the body in the long term.
Early papers, case studies, and trials have provided helpful information about Long COVID, and cases treated by Stella have shown significant improvement in symptoms.
Leveraging Stella’s advanced Stellate Ganglion Block, Long COVID patients are finding relief from loss of taste and smell (parosmia), shortness of breath, brain fog and more.

If your relationships feel distant, tense, or confusing, you’re not alone. Whether it’s conflict, communication breakdowns, or feeling unheard, it can be painful when connection doesn’t come easily. Often, old patterns—formed to protect us—can quietly shape how we relate to others today.
In therapy, we’ll explore those patterns together. You’ll learn how to express your needs clearly, set healthy boundaries, and build relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. As you grow more aware of your emotions and reactions, connection starts to feel safer—and more fulfilling.
You don’t have to keep repeating the same cycles. When you’re ready, fill out the form below and let’s start rebuilding the kind of relationships you truly want.
Anger isn’t always the problem—it’s what lies beneath it. Often, anger shows up when we feel hurt, powerless, or unseen. It can protect us, but it can also create distance from the people and peace we care about most.
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand what your anger is trying to tell you. You’ll learn how to recognize it earlier, express it in healthier ways, and build tools to calm your body before it takes over. The goal isn’t to get rid of anger—it’s to help you feel in control of it, instead of it controlling you.
If you’re ready to feel more grounded and in charge of your emotions, fill out the form below and let’s start this work together.
Psychiatry is a medical field dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental health disorders. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who specialize in mental health and are trained to understand the complex interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to mental illnesses. They are equipped to assess both the mental and physical aspects of psychological conditions, providing comprehensive care that addresses the whole person.
The practice of psychiatry involves various treatments, including medication management, psychotherapy, and other interventions. Psychiatrists can prescribe medications to help manage symptoms of mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and more. In addition to medication, they often employ different forms of psychotherapy, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, and supportive therapy, tailored to the individual needs of the patient.
Psychiatrists also work in diverse settings, including hospitals, private practices, clinics, and community health centers. They collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists, social workers, and primary care physicians, to provide integrated care for patients. The goal of psychiatry is not only to alleviate symptoms but also to improve the overall quality of life for individuals with mental health conditions, helping them achieve a better sense of well-being and functionality in their daily lives.
Sometimes you reach a point where life is “fine,” but something inside you knows there’s more. You might feel called to grow, to find deeper meaning, or to live in a way that feels fully authentic—but you’re not sure how to get there.
In therapy, we’ll explore what truly matters to you—your values, your strengths, and the parts of you that are waiting to be expressed. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been holding you back and help you create a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, and alive.
You don’t have to figure it all out alone. When you’re ready, fill out the form below—let’s begin the work of discovering who you’re meant to become.
When you lose someone—or something—you love, the world can suddenly feel unfamiliar. You might feel waves of sadness, anger, or even guilt, or you might feel nothing at all. Grief doesn’t follow a straight line, and there’s no “right” way to go through it.
In therapy, we’ll make space for your pain, your memories, and your love. You’ll have a safe place to talk, to cry, or to just sit quietly when words aren’t enough. Together, we’ll help you find a way to carry your loss while slowly rebuilding meaning and connection in your life.
You don’t have to navigate this alone. When you’re ready, fill out the form below—let’s begin your path toward healing.
If you’ve been feeling numb, tired, or disconnected from the things that used to matter, you’re not alone. Depression can make even getting through the day feel heavy—and it can trick you into believing that things will always feel this way.
In therapy, we’ll start by making space for what you’re feeling, without judgment. Together, we’ll uncover what’s been weighing you down and begin rebuilding a sense of purpose, connection, and hope. You’ll learn ways to navigate the hard days and gradually reconnect with the parts of life that feel meaningful to you.
You don’t have to go through this on your own. When you’re ready, fill out the form below—help is closer than you think.
If your mind is always racing, or if it feels like you can’t turn off the worry no matter how hard you try, you’re not alone. Anxiety can make even simple things feel overwhelming—it’s exhausting to always be “on.”
In therapy, we’ll work together to understand what’s fueling your anxiety and how your body responds to stress. You’ll learn practical ways to calm your nervous system, quiet the “what ifs,” and feel more present in your day-to-day life.
You don’t have to keep pushing through alone. When you’re ready, fill out the form below—let’s take the next step toward feeling steady and at ease again.
What happened to you matters. And it’s okay if part of you still feels stuck in it. Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, disconnected, or unsure of who you are—but those reactions aren’t signs of weakness. They’re your mind and body’s way of trying to stay safe.
In therapy, we’ll move at your pace. You’ll have space to tell your story—or not, until you’re ready. Together, we’ll start to understand how trauma has shaped your thoughts, emotions, and relationships, and we’ll work on helping your body and mind feel safe again.
You don’t have to carry this alone anymore. When you’re ready, fill out the form below and take the first step toward healing.
Low self-esteem often begins with patterns of self-criticism, comparison, or experiences that made you feel “not enough.” In therapy, you’ll learn to understand where those beliefs come from and how to replace them with more balanced, compassionate self-views. Your therapist will help you recognize your strengths, set healthy boundaries, and develop tools to handle self-doubt when it appears.
Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you see yourself more clearly, rebuild confidence, and live in alignment with who you truly are.
If you’re ready to start feeling more grounded and self-assured, fill out the form below to connect with a therapist today.

In intensive trauma therapy, we move at your pace—creating space for you to process, rebuild safety, and begin to reconnect with yourself.
