Navigating the Space Between Holidays
The days between Christmas and New Year’s can feel quiet, expectant, or even emotionally heavy. For many, this time brings reflection on the year just passed and pressure to set intentions for the year ahead. It’s perfectly normal to experience a mix of relief, unresolved feelings, or heightened awareness of stressors during this transitional space.
At Pica & Associates, we believe that mental health isn’t just about coping through the hard times—it’s about building insight and resilience that supports you through life’s shifts. This week offers an opportunity to pause and check in with yourself:
• How are you feeling emotionally right now?
• What thoughts or worries are coming up as the year winds down?
• Where might you benefit from support, clarity, or connection?
If you find this period brings anxiety, sadness, or difficulty concentrating, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it on your own. We offer individual, family, couples, and holistic psychological services in the St. Charles/Geneva area to help you find balance, meaning, and direction as you move forward. 
We’re here when you’re ready.
