Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and warm wishes to everyone in our community today. 🎄
May you find a moment—just one—to breathe deeply, notice something good, and remember that you matter.
From all of us at Atascosa Counseling & Consultation Services, thank you for trusting us with your stories this year.

However you spend Christmas Eve—working, traveling, gathering, or staying home—you’re still worthy of rest and kindness.
If this season is joyful for you, we’re glad.
If it’s painful or complicated, we’re here with you in that too.
From our team at ACCS: we’re wishing you a gentle night and moments of peace. 🌟

This Saturday (Dec 27), our partner PMHNP will be on site for scheduled medication appointments.
If you’ve been wondering whether adding medication might help with mood, anxiety, or ADHD symptoms, talk with your therapist and ask questions.
Care should feel coordinated, not rushed.

🎁 GIVEAWAY OF THE WEEK: “YOU ROCK” (literally) 🪨💙

If you’re coming in today, you can grab our mini “You Rock” jar—because sometimes you forget you’re awesome… and we’re here to remind you. 😄✨
Each little jar is a small, simple boost for your desk, car, nightstand, or wherever you tend to overthink.

📌 Important holiday note: We’re only open today and will be closed the rest of the week for Christmas. If you have an appointment today, come snag yours before they’re gone!

🎄 While we’re closed, you can still:
✅ Request an appointment online: atascosacounselingservices.com
✅ Call and leave a message: (830) 580-1551 (we’ll return calls when we reopen)

Wishing you a calmer, lighter holiday week—without the pressure to be perfect. 🤍

As the holidays get closer, remember what you and your therapist have already discussed about:
🧭 Coping skills
📞 Who you can call
📋 Safety or crisis plans
If you’re an ACCS client and you’re unsure what to do between sessions, ask your therapist to review your plan with you before office closures or travel. Planning ahead is a strength, not a weakness.

ADHD + holidays =
🧾 Long to-do lists
🎁 Last-minute shopping
⏰ Time blindness
🧠 Sensory overload
If this sounds like you (or your teen), you’re not “bad at adulting”—your brain is wired differently.
ADHD-informed therapy and coaching can help you build systems that actually fit your life.

If you’re grieving this season, the world’s “be merry!” messages can sting.
You’re not broken if you:
💔 Don’t feel festive
😢 Cry more than usual
🚫 Skip some traditions
You’re allowed to remember, to feel, and to do the holidays differently this year.
Therapy can be a place where your grief is welcome.

We love our Atascosa County small businesses. 💙
From coffee shops to boutiques to family-run services, you keep our community going. Many of our clients are small business owners or work in family businesses—and we know how unique that stress can be.
If you’re juggling customers, family, and finances, therapy can be a safe place to exhale.

Holidays can be hard on relationships.
Common December fights:
🎁 Money and gifts
🕒 Whose family to see (and for how long)
📅 Feeling like one person carries all the planning
Couples therapy isn’t about “who’s right.” It’s about understanding each other and building new patterns.
If you and your partner want a calmer 2026, now is a good time to start.

When emotions feel out of control, sometimes the basics are off.
Try this DBT-inspired check:
🧬 Physical health: Have I taken my meds as prescribed?
🥗 Eating: Have I eaten regular meals?
😴 Sleep: Have I rested enough?
🏃 Movement: Have I moved my body a little?
It’s not a cure-all, but it gives your brain a fighting chance.
Talk with your therapist about how to build your own plan.
