Happy New Year!

A new year doesn’t require a NEW YOU.
But it does invite a YOU who is open to trying something NEW.

Maybe your goal this year is to:
• set healthier boundaries
• prioritize rest
• start therapy
• reconnect with something you love
• or simply make space to breathe

At Valley Mental Health, we believe resolutions don’t have to be big or overwhelming.
Whatever your resolution looks like, we’re here to support your mental health journey in 2026.

What’s one gentle goal you’re setting for yourself this year?

A Different Kind of Holiday Message

The holiday season has a way of pulling every emotion to the surface... the good ones, the hard ones, the unexpected ones.

If this season feels joyful, we’re happy for you.
If it feels heavy, complicated, or just… a lot... we see you too.

We know the end of the year can be more than celebrations.

It’s reflection.
It’s pressure.
It’s grief that shows up when the world goes quiet.
It’s trying to hold it together for everyone else while hoping someone notices you could use support too.

So here’s our wish for you:
Not perfection.
Not forced cheer.
Just a little more room to breathe, feel, rest, and be human, in whatever way you need.

And if this season stirs up more than you expected, we’re here to walk with you into the new year:

The Mental Load of “One More Thing” Season

Mid-December has a very specific kind of stress.

You think you’re on top of things, and then suddenly everything needs one more thing from you.

One more email to answer.
One more gift to grab.
One more event to show up for.
One more decision you didn’t expect to make.
One more task that didn’t exist yesterday.

Individually, they’re small.

Together, they drain you in a way that’s hard to explain.
Your brain only has so much room and this is the time of year when it gets used up fast.

When your mental load is full, even simple things feel heavier.

You get through them, but it costs you more energy than it usually would.

If you’re feeling stretched or foggy or just “done” right now, it has nothing to do with ability and everything to do with capacity.

Mid-December tests it.

And at Valley Mental Health, we support people through this exact kind of overload.

“Therapy is only for people in crisis.”

That's a myth.

Fact:
Therapy is for everyday life, not just emergencies.

You don’t need to be in a crisis to benefit from support.

Many people use therapy to improve communication, manage
stress, build healthier habits, process life changes, and strengthen emotional resilience.

Getting help early often prevents things from becoming a crisis.

New Website Loading…

Getting help shouldn’t feel confusing.

That’s why we’re creating a new digital home that makes it simpler to explore services, meet our growing team, and understand how we can care for you or a loved one.

Our goal is simple: to make your experience feel even more seamless and supportive from the very first click.

Coming soon to Valley Mental Health.

Gratitude & Grace This Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is often painted as a day of gratitude, and for many, it is.

But for others, the day carries stress, grief, or the weight of complicated family dynamics.

This year, we’re holding space for both.
✨ Gratitude for the moments of connection, comfort, and joy.
✨ Grace for the times when the day feels heavy, when grief resurfaces, or when “togetherness” feels more complicated than it looks.

At Valley Mental Health, we believe both can exist side by side.

Whether today feels full of thanks or full of tenderness, you deserve support and compassion.

Before the Year Burns You Out...

As the year winds down, the pressure ramps up.

Deadlines. Family plans. That voice in your head saying you’ve got to “finish strong.”

Here’s your reminder: November isn’t just about how much you can get done before December 31st.

It’s about how well you care for yourself along the way.

Burnout doesn’t always hit like a crash. Sometimes it’s just the slow leak, the skipped meals, the restless nights, the sense that no matter how much you do, it’s never quite enough.

You deserve to end the year with peace, not pieces of yourself scattered.

At Valley Mental Health, we help you recognize the signs, slow down the spiral, and find balance again.

The end of the year doesn’t have to mean the end of your energy.

Myth vs. Fact: Schizophrenia

Myth: Schizophrenia means having a “split personality.”
Fact: Schizophrenia does not mean having a “split personality.”

The word sc**zo translates to “split mind,” but it refers to a disconnect from reality, not a split in identity.

Schizophrenia affects how a person thinks, perceives, and makes sense of the world around them.

Here’s what’s often left out: with the right treatment and support, many people living with sc**zophrenia work, build relationships, and live full, meaningful lives.

👉 When we replace myths with facts, we replace stigma with understanding.

Stress doesn’t always look like stress.

Sometimes it can look like snapping at people you love, forgetting small things, feeling drained even after sleep.

The danger is that hidden stress doesn’t stay hidden forever.

Over time, it chips away at your focus, strains your relationships, and wears down your body and mind.

On International Stress Awareness Day, we shine a light on the quiet ways stress shows up, because once you can name it, you can start to manage it.

And if managing it feels overwhelming, that’s where we walk beside you.

Don’t Ghost Your Care 👻

It might feel easy to skip an appointment or put off your meds.

But ghosting your mental health only makes things harder down the road.

At Valley Mental Health, we make care less scary so it's something you can stick with:

🎃Flexible telehealth visits
🎃 Medication plans that fit your life
🎃 Providers who listen and don't judge

This season, no tricks, just TREAT(ments).

The hardest part of getting help isn’t the paperwork.

It isn’t the appointments.

It’s the first step.

Admitting, “I can’t do this alone.”
Reaching out, even when the words don’t come out right.

At Valley Mental Health, that’s all you need.

JUST THE FIRST STEP.

From there, our Nurse Practitioners and Therapists will walk with you, offering compassion, tools, and treatment to help you feel more like yourself again.

Support doesn’t start perfect.
It starts brave.

It starts here: https://www.valley-mh.com/

If you’re in a low place right now, wondering if it will ever feel different...

this is the valley.

➡️When getting out of bed feels like a win.
➡️When the smallest tasks take everything out of you.
➡️When the heaviness is hard to put into words.

World Mental Health Day is just two days away.

It's a reminder that valleys like this are real,
and that no one should have to walk them alone.

At Valley Mental Health, we walk "Through the Valley Together,"
step by step, until the ground feels steadier.
