The holidays can be a beautiful time — but they can also bring added stress, emotional pressure, grief, and exhaustion. Busy schedules, family expectations, financial strain, and memories tied to loss can make this season especially heavy for many.

At Rivertown Counseling Center, we know that taking care of your mental health during stressful times is essential. Therapy provides a safe space to process emotions, develop healthy coping skills, and feel supported — even when life feels overwhelming.

Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or simply feeling emotionally drained, you don’t have to go through it alone. Asking for help is a powerful first step toward healing and balance.

🌿 It’s OK Not to Have All the Answers 🌿
Life can be overwhelming, and sometimes we feel pressured to have everything figured out. But the truth is—you don’t have to know it all.

Emotionally intelligent people understand that two things can be true at the same time:
✨ You can be confident and still say, “I’m not sure.”
✨ You can be strong and still ask for help.
✨ You can look calm on the outside and feel overwhelmed inside.

At Rivertown Psychiatry • Counseling • Autism/ABA, we’re here to remind you that it’s human to learn, grow, and not have all the answers. You deserve support on the days you feel unsure. 💙

If you’re struggling or need someone to talk to, we’re here when you need us most.

🌿 The Importance of Talk Therapy 🌿

Taking care of your mental health is one of the strongest investments you can make in yourself — and talk therapy is a powerful place to start.

✨ Why Talk Therapy Matters:
• It provides a safe, confidential space to express your thoughts and emotions.
• It helps you explore patterns, challenges, and root causes behind stress, anxiety, and life transitions.
• It gives you tools to cope, communicate better, and build healthier relationships.
• It reminds you that you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Therapy isn’t just for moments of crisis — it’s for anyone who wants to grow, heal, or better understand themselves.

At Rivertown Counseling Center, our therapists are here to support you with compassion, expertise, and genuine care. Whether you’re navigating everyday stress or deeper emotional struggles, we’re ready to walk alongside you.

You matter.

💙 You Don’t Have to Face Depression Alone

Depression can feel heavy, isolating, and overwhelming — but you are not alone, and you don’t have to push through it by yourself.

• Irritable, overwhelmed, or hopeless
… it might be time to talk to someone who can help.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a type of talk therapy that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected — and how changing one can positively influence the others.

Here’s how it works 👇

🧠 Cognitive (Thinking):
CBT helps you recognize negative or unhelpful thoughts (like “I’ll never get better”) and challenge them with more realistic, balanced ones.

💬 Behavioral (Actions):
It also focuses on actions — encouraging small, manageable changes in daily habits that improve mood and confidence over time.

💪 The Goal:
To help you develop healthy coping skills, improve problem-solving, and gain control over how you respond to life’s challenges.

CBT is effective for:
✔️ Anxiety and panic attacks
✔️ Depression
✔️ Stress and anger
✔️ OCD and trauma
✔️ Sleep or relationship problems

At Rivertown Counseling Center, our trained therapists use CBT and other proven methods to help you build the tools to feel better and live healthier.
