🌟 Mental Health Monday 🌟

Myth: “Feeling down in winter is normal and there’s nothing you can do about it.”
A kinder truth: Many of us feel our mood dip when the days get shorter and the sunlight gets scarce — it’s a real, common experience. But that doesn’t mean you have to just push through it. There are ways to lift your mood, and support is always available.

Small winter-friendly habits that can help:
✨ Spending time in bright light or using a light lamp
☀️ Getting a few minutes of morning sunlight
🚶‍♀️ Moving your body in simple, enjoyable ways
😴 Keeping a steady sleep routine
🌿 Trying grounding or mindfulness moments
🤝 Reaching out for connection and support

And for many people, talking with a mental health professional can make a meaningful difference. You never have to navigate the heavy seasons alone.

If winter feels heavier than usual:
You’re not alone — and real help is within reach. Speaking with a professional can offer tools, understanding, and a safe place to sort through what you’re feeling.

💛 Our team is here for you, this winter and beyond. When you’re ready to connect, we’re ready to support you. Call our office at (256) 266-1544 to get scheduled with our mental health therapist, Mary Frances Brown, LICSW.

✨Mental Health Monday✨

As we move into Thanksgiving week, we know the holidays can feel heavier than they look from the outside. This season often brings a mix of joy, stress, and complicated emotions. If you notice yourself feeling stretched thin, it’s okay to slow down, take a breather, or reach out for support. Your well-being matters, especially this time of year.
