If you're living in Northern Arizona (or you're visiting somewhere with a little snow on the ground), you may be feeling some winter blues.

Here are a few quick mood boosters for shorter, colder days:
-Light Exposure: Try to get outside when the sun is out around midday
-Move Your Body: A short walk can be just as effective as intense exercise
-Prioritize Sleep: Consistent sleep helps you to regulate your mood.

As the year unfolds, one of the most powerful things you can do is slow down and acknowledge the progress you’re making—big, small, and everything in between.

Creating a “Wins of 2025” list isn’t about perfection or productivity.
It’s about noticing the ways you’ve grown, supported yourself, and kept going… even on the hard days.

The holidays can bring joy, connection, and warmth—but they can also bring grief to the surface in ways we don’t expect.

Empty chairs feel a little heavier. Traditions feel different. Even happy moments can carry a quiet ache. If you’re grieving this season—whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a version of yourself, or the life you thought you’d have—please know this:
You are not alone, and your feelings are valid.

Healing doesn’t mean forgetting. It means finding ways to carry love, memory, and meaning forward—one soft moment at a time. If this season is heavy for you, Inner Balance Counseling is here with support, understanding, and a space to breathe.

"How long will I be in therapy?"

It's the #1 question people ask, and the honest answer is: It depends.

Whether it's a few months or a lifetime, the length of your journey is unique. It depends on your goals, history, and the severity of the issues.

You may have seen some news about the Moon Knight TV series on the internet recently. We'd thought we take some time to talk about how it perpetuates some myths about dissociative identity disorder.

The show almost gets some things right, but makes it seem like a dangerous condition. People don't typically create alters or create dangerous alters.

The holidays often bring us into contact with people, places, and situations that are loaded with history. This can make your emotional triggers pop up unexpectedly. A trigger is not the cause of your distress; it's a reminder of unresolved feelings.

We can help you identify common holiday triggers (like specific songs or family members) and learn grounding techniques to manage the emotional fallout.

The holidays often spotlight generosity and togetherness—but they can also bring pressure to give more than we realistically can.

Supporting your community doesn’t require overextending yourself. Meaningful care begins with checking in with your own needs, honoring your limits, and choosing sustainable ways to show up.

This season, may you support others with compassion and treat yourself with the same care.

This time of year can feel full—full of plans, emotions, expectations, and energy. Before the rest of the month speeds up, today is an opportunity to pause and check in with yourself.

If you’ve been feeling overstretched, tired, or disconnected, you’re not alone. These are signs your mind and body may be asking for a reset. Even small acts of care—like slowing down, taking a breath, setting a boundary, or giving yourself permission to rest—can make a meaningful difference.

Be gentle with yourself as you move through the season.
✨ You deserve calm, compassion, and space to care for your well-being.

Simple joys help regulate the nervous system, reduce overwhelm, and bring us back into the present moment. 😌

This season, try noticing the tiny comforts around you — and give yourself permission to slow down enough to feel them. ✨

"When are you getting married?", "Are you eating that?". Unwanted questions from family can be a major source of holiday stress. This year, protect your peace by setting firm boundaries before you walk in the door. Boundaries are not walls; they are guardrails for healthy relationships. Learn how to say "no" kindly but clearly.
