We love our community partners!

I’m incredibly grateful to my Santa Cruz mental health community, and especially Maaliea and her TherapyWorks team, for recognizing my dedication and commitment to our local community and for the work of sharing resources to increase access to mental health services. Being seen in this way means more than I can express. Especially in this season of grief, your words of affirmation and recognition have been deeply comforting and strengthening. Thank you for the support, encouragement, and for continuing to show up for one another and our community. 💚🥰🥹

Welcome to the TherapyWorks Favorite Things—Holiday Gift Guide: a collection of our favorite local, wellness-focused products designed to inspire calm, connection, creativity, and self-care.

Each item on this list is intentionally chosen with mental health in mind—because gifts feel even more meaningful when they help someone breathe easier, slow down, feel grounded, or simply experience a moment of joy. And by shopping small, you’re not just giving a gift—you’re investing directly into our local community and supporting the people who pour their hearts into their craft.

Why We Created This Guide
At TherapyWorks, mental health is our mission—and connection is at the heart of everything we do. By highlighting local businesses, we’re not only putting meaningful, wellness-aligned gifts in your hands; we’re strengthening the fabric of the communities we live and work in.

When you shop small, your dollars stay local. You support real people. You nurture community resilience. And you help create a culture of care—one thoughtful gift at a time.

Wishing You a Season of Well-Being, Joy & Connection
We hope this guide inspires gifts that feel good to give and even better to receive. If you try any of these recommendations, let us know—we love seeing how our community supports one another.

And if the holiday season feels heavy this year, we’re here for you.
Sometimes the most meaningful gift you can give yourself is support.

The holidays are often painted as the “most wonderful time of the year,” but for many people, they’re also one of the most stressful. Between family dynamics, financial pressures, full schedules, and the emotional expectations that come with the season, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed.

At TherapyWorks, we help clients recognize these stress triggers, learn to manage them, and approach holiday gatherings with more calm, confidence, and compassion—for themselves and others.

Here are a few common holiday scenarios that can induce stress or anxiety—and some ways to navigate them in a way that supports your mental health.

The holidays will always bring some degree of stress—it’s part of being human. But when you have tools to manage emotions, communicate boundaries, and prioritize your well-being, you can move through the season with more ease and enjoyment.

At TherapyWorks, our therapists help clients identify their unique stress triggers and develop personalized strategies to handle them with confidence. Whether it’s family dynamics, relationship strain, parenting challenges, or work stress, we provide a space to process, prepare, and practice new ways of responding.

This holiday season, give yourself the gift of support. Reach out to our team at TherapyWorks to learn how therapy can help you move through the holidays—and every season—with greater calm, confidence, and connection.

Fixed it ✅

People won't remember if your decorations were perfect or if you made the latest viral holiday appetizer. What they WILL remember is how they felt in your presence.

Focus on the feelings of this season, and being grateful for that, not just on what it looks like.

A quick mental health check-in can change the entire tone of your day.

Before you rush into your to-do list, take a few minutes to answer a few questions and set goals for the day.

These small moments of awareness help you reconnect with yourself, notice what you need, and make intentional choices rather than just seeing what happens.

At TherapyWorks, we believe mental health isn’t just something you “work on” in therapy—it’s something you can nurture in small, everyday habits. A quick daily check-in is one of the simplest and most accessible ways to support your mental well-being.

Take a breath. Take a moment. Check in with you.

Together, we make a bigger impact.

Through The Giving Project, TherapyWorks partners with local organizations who make our community stronger—and this quarter, we’re honored to support Toys for Tots.

Attendees at our monthly Clinical Networking Brunch will be bringing new, unwrapped toys to help bring joy to children who need it most this holiday season.

Curious how you can help support Toys for Tots beyond the brunch? Reach out to us—we’d love to share ways to get involved.

Small actions add up when we do them together.
