When the “Most Wonderful Time of the Year” Feels Overwhelming

You might be:

Feeling anxious about family gatherings or social events
Struggling with grief, loneliness, or estrangement during the holidays
Navigating co-parenting, blended family schedules, or travel stress
Worried about finances, gift-giving, or expectations
Exhausted from doing everything for everyone else and having nothing left for yourself

If any of this sounds familiar, therapy can help you create healthier boundaries, manage stress, and protect your mental health during the holidays.
