Happy Thanksgiving from the staff at Serenity Place!

11/25/2025

⚠️Reminder: Your Thanksgiving does not have to be "Instagram Perfect."

If the holidays bring up feelings of anxiety or pressure, give yourself permission to zoom in. Instead of searching for the big picture, focus on specific quiet moments of comfort.

Each small, specific win reassures your brain, helping you feel calmer and more at ease. Therapy helps you practice this reframing year-round. We’re here when you’re ready!

What small, specific moment are you most thankful for today? Share your gratitude in the comments!👇

It’s an honest look at love, loss, and the complicated places we hold within our families.

🩺National NP Week is a chance to recognize nurse practitioners everywhere. Nurse Practitioners are highly educated clinicians who specialize in managing patient care.

What do NPs do? 🤔

👉NPs can diagnose conditions, order and interpret tests, and prescribe medicine, making them key healthcare providers, often serving as a person's main source of primary care.

In mental health, that work is especially important. Our psychiatric NP brings that same commitment to clarity, safety, and steady support, helping clients understand their symptoms, manage medications with confidence, and stay connected across their treatment.

We’re grateful for the impact she makes here and for every NP doing the work of caring for their communities with expertise and compassion. 💚
