The Brown Therapy Group What is Psychotherapy? This may involve individuals, couples, families and/or groups. Who needs Psychotherapy? This can be in relationship to others (ie.

We are a dedicated team of licensed therapists and mental health professionals committed to providing compassionate, personalized care in a safe and supportive environment. Psychotherapy is a means of intentionally using various communication methods and techniques to alleviate a person’s distress and disability, and to improve their overall wellbeing. There are many reasons why someone would seek Psychotherapy. Generally, these are situations or conditions that create emotional and psychological stress that interfere with daily functioning. family, friends, co-workers, associates), or difficulty with individual problems and concerns (ie. depression, anxiety, trauma, phobias). Although a certain amount of stress may be natural for an individual dealing with a particular life situation, occasionally it will develop into a significant problem making life difficult to manage. There are many people who feel that they already have a healthy, and relatively balanced and successful life, but have a specific issue that they wish to resolve to help them feel more successful. In addition, people often engage in Psychotherapy in order to improve their self awareness and attain a better understanding of their thoughts and behaviors. It is through this process that transformations may occur.

As this year comes to a close and a new one begins, we want to gently remind you:

You don’t need big resolutions.
You don’t need a total reset.
You don’t need to have it all figured out.

It’s okay to enter the new year carrying lessons, fatigue, hope, grief, growth — or uncertainty. Change doesn’t have to be loud or immediate to be meaningful.

Go at your own pace.
Choose care over pressure.
Support is available as you step into what’s next.

Here’s to a new year that leaves room for being human.

Seasonal depression isn’t about “trying harder.”
It’s often about understanding how your mood, energy, and nervous system respond to changes in light, rhythm, and stress.

Therapy can help you recognize seasonal patterns, build supportive routines, challenge unhelpful thought cycles, and feel less alone in the heavier months.

Support doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you.
It means you deserve care that meets you where you are — especially in winter.

The day after the holidays is often quieter — and for many people, that’s when emotions finally have space to surface.

If today feels heavier, flatter, or simply different than expected, nothing has gone wrong. It’s often your nervous system exhaling after weeks of stimulation and pressure.

Slow down where you can.
Lower expectations.
Support is still available — even after the holidays.

For some people, the holidays are joyful.
For others, they’re complicated — or quietly painful.

If this season brings up grief, stress, loneliness, family tension, or emotional exhaustion, it doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. It means you’re human — and responding to a lot at once.

-You’re allowed to move through the holidays in a way that protects your emotional well-being.
-You’re allowed to need support.
- And you’re not alone in feeling this way.

If the holidays feel heavier this year, care and connection can make a difference.

Vitamin D often comes up in conversations about winter mood, and for good reason. Sunlight, brain health, and mood are connected. At the same time, mental health is complex, and no single nutrient tells the whole story.

Some people notice mood shifts alongside changes in vitamin D levels. Others don’t. What matters most is taking a balanced, compassionate approach rather than looking for a quick fix.

If winter feels heavier, support can include many pieces : light exposure, routines, emotional support, therapy, and self-compassion.

You don’t need one answer to deserve care. Support is available.

Many people notice certain things feel heavier in winter: waking up, focusing, staying motivated, or keeping up socially. When daylight decreases, our brains and nervous systems are affected in very real ways.

This isn’t a personal flaw or lack of discipline.

For some, it’s a seasonal response, and for others, it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).

If winter feels harder year after year, support can help you understand what’s happening and what might help.

Many people wonder, “Is this Seasonal Affective Disorder… or am I just burned out?”
The truth is, the symptoms can overlap — and it’s okay to feel unsure.

Burnout is often linked to chronic stress and overwhelm.
SAD tends to follow seasonal light changes and shows up around the same time each year.
And sometimes, both can exist together.

Understanding what’s behind your exhaustion or low mood can open the door to the right kind of support. You don’t need a label to deserve care — just support that meets you where you are.

If winter feels heavier or stress feels unmanageable, our team is here to help.

Winter mornings can feel heavy when you’re sensitive to Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). A small, intentional routine can help your mind and body start the day more grounded and calm.

Here’s a gentle morning reset:
1. Open your blinds for natural light
2. Sip something warm
3. Wrap yourself in cozy comfort
4. Take 1 mindful minute to check in
5. Choose 1 small task to begin your day

Little steps like these can make the season feel more manageable.
And remember—you don’t have to do winter alone. Support is here if you need it.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is often misunderstood. Many people assume it’s “just winter blues” or something you should simply “get over,” but the reality is much more complex.

SAD is a real, diagnosable form of depression influenced by changes in light, brain chemistry, and circadian rhythm. And like any mental health condition, it deserves understanding—not minimization.

If winter feels heavier, harder, or more draining for you, you’re not imagining it.
You’re not alone—and support is available.

Our team is here to help you navigate the season with understanding, tools, and care.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) isn’t “just being tired” or “not liking winter.”
There are real, measurable changes happening in the brain when sunlight decreases—affecting melatonin, serotonin, circadian rhythms, and even vitamin D levels.

When these systems shift, mood and energy can shift too.
If you’ve been feeling different this time of year, it’s not imagined—and you’re not alone.

There are supportive tools and treatments that can help you feel more regulated and grounded through the winter months.

If you’re noticing a seasonal pattern in your mood, reach out. Our team is here to help.
