When the demands of your life require you to stay sharp, composed, and emotionally steady, ongoing stress can quietly build beneath the surface. This Stress Concierge Service provides dedicated, personalized support to help you manage pressure, maintain clarity, and protect your mental and emotional energy.
Stress Regulation coaching
Stress-centered coaching offers focused, non-clinical support for individuals navigating ongoing stress and seeking steadiness, clarity, and practical tools for regulation. Coaching sessions are structured and goal-oriented, helping clients develop strategies to manage stress more effectively over time.
Stress regulation coaching is a private-pay service and is not covered by insurance.
Single session (60 minutes): $250
3-session package: $700
5-session package: $1,100
A brief consultation is required prior to beginning coaching.
This service is not psychotherapy and does not involve diagnosis, treatment of mental health conditions, or insurance billing. Clients seeking clinical mental health care, symptom treatment, or trauma-focused work will be referred to psychotherapy services.

Dr. Alana Atchison
Board-Certified Clinical Psychologist
When I was 36, I began to notice that my health was quietly deteriorating. I was constantly stressed, diagnosed with sleep apnea, pre-diabetic, watching my cholesterol rise, and weighed nearly 300 pounds. I was constantly uncomfortable, easily winded, inflamed, and slowly losing confidence. I didn’t feel well in my body, and I knew something had to change.
I slowly committed to improving my health, which also meant reducing my stress. It’s been a beautiful and imperfect journey. I began moving my body, improving my nutrition, and grounding myself spiritually. Within a few weeks, I noticed meaningful changes: improved sleep, more energy, a greater sense of steadiness. Within 6 months, those changes were visibly noticeable. My inflammation decreased, my sleep improved, my lab work normalized, my energy returned, and my confidence was quietly rebuilt.
About a year into this process, I felt physically and mentally stronger, sharper, healthier, and more alive than I had in a long time.
What I understand now—both personally and professionally—is that stress doesn’t just affect mental health. It shapes how we sleep, how our bodies heal, how we think, how we relate to ourselves, and how we move through the world. When stress remains unaddressed, it shows up everywhere.
I realized that my stress was rooted in misalignment across five key areas: physical, emotional, cognitive, spiritual, and creative health. When these areas are supported and in alignment, the body and mind begin to respond. Stress becomes more manageable, clarity returns, and health starts to restore itself in sustainable ways.
