When we're stuck or confused, our instinct is often to analyze, strategize, and overthink our way to answers. But clarity often arrives in the quiet moments, during a walk, in the shower, or when we finally stop trying to force it.

What would happen if you gave yourself permission to stop searching for answers today?

At Green Valley Therapy, we create space for you to explore, process, and discover clarity at your own pace through therapy, wellness coaching, and holistic practices.

It's Therapy Thursday, where our therapists answer the questions you're actually Googling!

Today's question: How do I tell my therapist I want to stop coming?

Here's what Laura Knox has to say:

"Great question and totally normal! If you're able, bringing this up directly with your therapist can be a meaningful part of the termination process and offer space for reflection and closure. If that feels too hard, you can always email your therapist or reach out to our admin team to let us know you'd like to wrap up."

January's darkness and cold aren't obstacles to overcome; they're invitations to rest. Your body and mind are wired to respond to seasons. If you're feeling slower, quieter, or less energized right now, that's not laziness. That's nature.

How can you honor your need for rest this winter instead of fighting it?

Our compassionate team at Green Valley Therapy understands the mind-body connection and can help you work with your rhythms, not against them.

THERAPY THURSDAYS ✨

Medication can be an important part of mental health care, but it’s often most effective when paired with therapy. Working with a therapist can help you build coping skills, track changes, and better understand how medication fits into your overall well-being.

At Green Valley Therapy, we also have a psychiatric nurse practitioner on staff, which makes our practice unique. This allows your therapist and prescriber to collaborate and communicate about your treatment plan, supporting more coordinated and thoughtful care.

Therapy Thursdays are here to answer common questions and support your mental health journey. 💚

What if your commute could support your mental health, rather than drain it?

For many in the Maryland & DC area, commuting takes up hours each week and often adds stress, frustration, and exhaustion. In our latest blog, we explore how commute time can be reframed and used intentionally to support mental well-being, reduce anxiety, and create healthier transitions between work and home.

From mindful commuting practices to boundaries, learning, and knowing when to seek support, this post offers practical, realistic strategies you can start using right away.

Your mental health matters, even during rush hour.

January brings pressure to reinvent ourselves, but real growth begins with self-acceptance. You don't need to be "new" to be worthy of love, acceptance, or peace. The person you are right now, with your past, your struggles, your strengths, is the perfect starting point.

What would it look like to honor yourself exactly as you are today while still moving toward growth?

At Green Valley Therapy, we believe transformation happens when you work with yourself, not against yourself. Our holistic approach meets you where you are.
