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.

December Focus: A Mental Health Guide for the Holidays

Our December campaign, “Holiday Stress & Emotional Balance,” is designed to help you:

  • Set realistic expectations for yourself and your family
  • Create and protect healthy boundaries
  • Cope with grief, loss, or complicated family relationships
  • Navigate gatherings, travel, or staying home alone
  • Reflect on the past year and walk into the new one with more clarity and intention

Throughout the month, we emphasize practical tools—not just “think positive,” but real strategies you can use right away.
