Research shows that unmanaged stress negatively affects emotional wellbeing and physical health, resulting in anxiety, depression, insomnia, high blood pressure, heart disease, gastrointestinal problems, obesity, and diabetes. Stress also wreaks havoc in relationships and typically leaves us feeling overwhelmed, unfulfilled, and unhappy. The Northern Virginia culture seems to require never ending and often overwhelming responsibilities, too many commitments, and not enough time to get it all done.

Research also shows that stress reduction and management can improve overall health and wellbeing, optimize performance, and even lengthen your lifespan. Loudoun Psychological Services offers a 4-session, integrative and practical stress management program to show you how to effectively manage your stress, improve your health, and optimize your relationships and performance in life.
