🌨️December is Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) Awareness Month 🌨️

SAD affects about 10 million Americans each year, with women diagnosed four times more often than men.

Symptoms usually begin in late fall or early winter when daylight hours shorten — and typically improve in spring.

Common symptoms include low mood, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, and loss of interest in things you normally enjoy.

Treatment works — light therapy, counseling, and sometimes medication can significantly reduce symptoms.

You don’t have to walk through it alone — help and healing are possible.

Our team at Grateful Heart Counseling is here to listen, support, and guide you toward renewed hope. 🩵

With the holidays just around the corner, many people look forward to the joy, warmth, and connection that gatherings can bring. But we also recognize that this season doesn’t feel the same for everyone.

For some, the holidays stir up feelings of stress, loneliness, or grief. For others, family dynamics, unmet expectations, financial pressures, or memories of loss can make this time of year especially heavy. If you’re not feeling festive this season, you’re not alone and you don’t have to deal with it alone.

Whether this season brings joy, sorrow, or something in between, we’re here to walk with you.

If you need to talk, please reach out to us:

We truly wish you moments of peace, comfort, and connection in the weeks ahead. And if this season feels overwhelming or painful, please know that we are here to help you find hope and happiness this holiday season.
