Modern Wellness Counseling by Priscilla L. Rodriguez, LMFT

Modern Wellness Counseling by Priscilla L. Rodriguez, LMFT Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist providing individual and couple therapy. My specialties include working with couples and individuals.

My goal is to help you reach your true potential by targeting behaviors or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling life. While we cannot change events that occurred in the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life in order to continue to move forward. I understand that it may be easy to fall into negative cycles with your partner and those you love. I will work with you to break out of these cycles and learn how to reconnect.

The holidays get louder, busier, and heavier before we even notice it happening. If your chest tightens the moment someone asks for your time, you’re not imagining the pressure of trying to please everyone at once.

This season often awakens old roles and expectations, which can make boundaries feel almost impossible to set.

You can care for your relationships and protect your well-being at the same time. Here are a few ways to support yourself through December:
✅ Slow down before you answer
✅ Choose language that feels honest
✅ Check in with your energy before committing
✅ Let kindness guide your “no,” not guilt

Your needs matter in every season, especially this one.

What helps you honor your boundaries during the holidays? Share your experience below so others feel less alone.

The holidays can make you feel like you have to be everywhere, for everyone, all at once.

But you’re allowed to step back and choose what actually feels right for you.

You don’t earn your worth by pushing through exhaustion.

You don’t need a reason to choose rest, space, or gentler plans.

Giving yourself permission to slow down is not selfish.

It is an intentional act of loving yourself.❤

Allow your December to be lighter by caring for your wellbeing, not what others expect.

Take these permission slips with you and pass them along to someone who needs the reminder.

December isn’t here to measure your productivity or your capacity.

It’s an invitation to notice what you’ve carried, what you’ve learned, and what deserves your energy moving forward.

This time of year can stir up reflection, pressure, and tenderness all at once, and that’s a very human experience.

Let this month be one where you choose what strengthens you. Slower mornings, meaningful conversations, or simply taking a breath before the day begins.

Here’s to creating a December that supports your well-being and meets you where you are, with hope for what’s ahead. 🥂

Thanksgiving has always felt like a deep breath to me.

It is a day when time slows just enough to notice the warmth around you. The smell of baking, laughter, and the hum of a football game in the background.

It’s busy, but beautifully so.

And now that my twins are toddlers, I see it differently. More than the food or tradition they will be experiencing, I am looking forward to building memories they’ll carry with them.

That’s what I want my twins to remember. Not the picture-perfect holiday, but the joy of simply being together.

And maybe that’s something we all need to remember too—that the real beauty of Thanksgiving isn’t in how much we do, but in how much we can be in the present.

How was your Thanksgiving yesterday? I want to read your story in the comments below.

Thanksgiving is more than a meal. It is your partner passing you the mashed potatoes with a smile, your friend making you laugh until your cheeks hurt, your family retelling the same stories that still warm your heart. 💛

In between the clinking glasses and easy chatter, pause and take it in. Gratitude deepens when you notice how much love already lives in the everyday moments around you.

Thanksgiving can fill your heart… or completely drain it. Between the noise, the questions, and the “helpful” opinions, it’s easy to walk away tense instead of thankful.

That’s why we’re sharing this guide to help you protect your energy while staying grounded in what truly matters.

So before you sit down at the table, remember you can:
✅Set your intention for the night
✅Anticipate triggers and have responses ready
✅Pause before reacting
✅Choose connection over correction
✅Unwind afterward

You deserve a Thanksgiving that feels peaceful, not pressured.

Share this with someone who needs that reminder, too.

Starting therapy can feel uncertain, but your first session at Modern Wellness Counseling is meant to ease that worry, not add to it.

From the moment you log in, you’ll be welcomed to share your story, set goals, and feel truly supported.

Every step is a collaboration. We listen, guide, and move at your pace so healing feels safe from the very start. And if you’ve taken a break from therapy, know you’re always welcome to come back whenever you’re ready.

If this sounds like the kind of support you’ve been needing, send us a message or call 210-706-0392. We’d love to help you start your healing journey.

Thanksgiving can feel complicated, right? Everyone’s sharing what they’re grateful for, but maybe you’re just trying to make it through the day.

When your mind feels heavy or you’re running on empty, gratitude can feel like one more thing to do.

But here’s the thing… Gratitude doesn’t have to be big.

So start small. Try the following:
✨ Feel the warmth of your coffee
✨ Hear laughter in another room
✨ Text someone who crossed your mind
✨ Step outside and feel the air on your skin
✨ Light a candle and pause for a slow breath
✨ Write down one good thing before bed
✨ Look through old photos that make you smile
✨ Offer a small kindness to someone else

Do not feel bad for trying to boost your mood by being thankful. Gratitude doesn’t erase what you are going through today. It reminds you that light still exists beside it.

What other small things are you grateful for today? Share it below. You never know who needs your reminder.

In a world that often rushes past small moments, gratitude asks us to pause, and that pause can change everything.

This National Gratitude Month, we’re honoring how science backs what our hearts already know: gratitude strengthens your mind, body, relationships, and even work.

Take a moment today to thank someone, write one thing you’re grateful for, or just breathe in what’s good.

Share this post with someone who reminds you to slow down and appreciate the present.

The holidays can make it easy to forget your own needs—but peace doesn’t come from doing it all.

This week, block time on your calendar just for rest, step outside when you feel overstimulated, and let silence be your reset. Gratitude grows when you give yourself space to breathe.

DM us or call 210-706-0392 if you need support this season.

The days grow dimmer, the air feels quieter, and somehow... so do you. That heaviness isn’t in your head.

It’s something some people experience this time of year called Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD.

Around 5% of adults in the U.S. live with this severe form of depression linked to seasonal changes. It may not be common, but up to 20% experience the milder version, known as “winter blues.”

So what happens when daylight decreases?

Our brain produces less serotonin, the chemical that helps regulate mood, and more melatonin, which can make us feel sluggish and detached.

If you’ve been waking up tired or feeling disconnected from things you usually enjoy, you’re not alone.

This is your body adapting to environmental change, not failing to cope.

You can lift the fog by getting morning light, taking short walks outside, and staying close to people who bring warmth into your life.

Whether it’s winter blues, SAD, or just a dip in energy, give yourself compassion this season.

Your light is still there, even on darker days. ☀️

When the darker months start to weigh on you, what small things lift your spirit again? Share your go-to reset in the comments.

If you need support this season, DM us or call 210-706-0392 to start your consultation.
