That “tantrum in aisle 7” wasn’t defiance. It was a nervous system waving a white flag 🏳️

For many kids, especially those who are sensitive, anxious, or neurodivergent, December can be overstimulating. What looks like “acting out” may actually be a nervous system on overload.

When we understand the “why” behind the meltdown, we can respond with support instead of shame.

Our child and adolescent therapists can help you understand your child’s triggers and build calmer routines this season 💙

Have you noticed your child getting more overwhelmed in busy stores or loud events?

How do you hold it together when one calendar has to stretch between two homes, one child, and everyone’s emotions?

Co-parenting in December can be complicated, logistically and emotionally. Tou may be balancing court orders, travel, new partners, and your child’s feelings… all while managing your own.

💙 But It’s okay if this season doesn’t look “picture perfect.” What matters most is that your child feels loved, safe, and not caught in the middle.

Have you ever felt torn between “keeping the peace” and honoring your own limits?

When you think about holiday parties, does your chest tighten a little before you’ve even walked in the door?

You rehearse what to say in the car. You walk in, smile, make small talk. From the outside, it looks like you’re doing fine. But inside, your heart is racing. You’re scanning the room, second-guessing every word, counting the minutes until you can leave.

For many people, that’s not “being shy.”

That’s social anxiety – especially loud during December, when the invitations and expectations pile up all at once.

You’re not broken for feeling this way. Your nervous system is just working very hard to keep you safe.

Therapy can help you feel more grounded in rooms that used to feel overwhelming 💙

What’s harder for you: walking into the event, or leaving without overthinking?

Do you feel like the “default” holiday planner in your family? Then you’re no stranger to feeling like you should “keep everything together.”

But If one dropped detail could “ruin Christmas,” you’re project managing. Not celebrating.

If you’re the one tracking gifts, meals, travel plans, and everyone’s feelings, it’s no wonder you’re exhausted before the 25th even arrives.

This season, remember: you’re allowed to share the load.

You’re allowed to rest before you burn out.

If this season feels heavier than it looks from the outside, talking to a therapist can help you set boundaries and breathe again.

Is there one part of the holidays you secretly wish you could skip?

Crisp air. Warm socks. A mug that actually stays hot. ☕

Regulation doesn’t have to be dramatic. Sometimes, your nervous system just needs five quiet minutes and a deep exhale.

In a season of overstimulation, those moments of stillness are a gift.

What’s your go-to fall moment of calm?

If peace feels out of reach, we can help you build it from the inside out.

You told yourself this year would be different. But now it’s nearly the end of November, and the shame spiral has begun.

If you’re feeling behind, stuck, or disappointed in yourself, you’re not alone. The pressure to finish strong can trigger perfectionism, avoidance, and burnout. Therapy helps interrupt that spiral and shift the story.

What’s one thing you wish you could tell your January self?

There’s still time for small, powerful shifts. Let’s start together. ✨

You don’t owe anyone the pie. Not this year. Maybe not ever again.

Grief rewrites the holidays. So does divorce. So does the first year your child doesn’t come home. Or the year you moved across the country and didn’t bring the decorations with you.

Traditions are meant to connect us. But when they start to hurt, it’s okay to let them go. You’re allowed to create something quieter. Smaller. Yours. There’s no rulebook. Just what brings peace. 💙

Have you ever let go of a tradition…

…and realize you didn’t miss it?

Therapy can help you mourn what was, while gently shaping what’s next.

When you’re ready to talk, we’re here.

When everyone’s feeling festive, why do you feel nothing at all?

Not sad. Not angry. Not even anxious. Just…nothing.

Emotional numbness is your brain’s way of protecting you from overload. But when the world feels loud with holiday cheer, social pressure, and year-end hustle, numbness can feel like you’re missing your own life.

Therapy helps you reconnect gently, at your own pace.

Ever gone through the motions of a holiday and felt nothing? There’s still time to come back to yourself before the year ends. Let’s talk. 🌱

🌟 Monarch had the honor of attending and sponsoring the 2025 Workplace Mental Health Summit on Thursday! 🌟

What an incredible day of connection, learning, and wellness. From engaging keynote talks and interactive breakout sessions to restorative wellness activities like yoga, mindfulness workshops, guided relaxation experiences, and even puppy cuddles, the event was packed with inspiration and practical tools for mental health and well-being.

We loved being part of a community so committed to workplace wellness, mental resilience, and compassionate leadership. A big thank you to the organizers, presenters, and all the amazing attendees who made the summit so enriching.

We’re looking forward to bringing back the insights, energy, and new ideas we gathered to support our clients and community even better. Let’s keep the momentum going, because what we do together matters. 💙

How do you create a sense of “home” in your mind?

For some, family gatherings bring connection. For others, they bring old wounds, tension, or emotional exhaustion. This time of year can magnify both belonging and loneliness.

“Home” isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling of safety and belonging you can build within yourself. A space where you’re met with understanding instead of criticism. 💙

How have you been treating yourself lately? Are you at home in your own mind, or have you been keeping yourself at a distance?
