🌨️ Feeling slower this winter? Let’s reframe that. 🌨️

Winter often brings shorter days, cold weather, and a natural dip in energy — and that’s normal. But so many of us internalize the message that slowing down means we’re lazy or falling behind. ❄️

Here’s the truth: rest is not lazy — it’s essential. 🧠💛
When we rest, our brains and bodies recover, recharge, and prepare for what’s ahead. Instead of pushing through guilt or pressure, let’s meet this season with kindness and intention.

✨ What rest actually does:
• Helps your focus, memory & creativity
• Supports emotional and physical well‑being
• Prevents burnout & exhaustion
• Makes your productivity sustainable (not frantic)

🥣 Winter Productivity Doesn’t Look the Same:
Adjust your goals • schedule rest intentionally • be compassionate with yourself • create cozy, restorative environments ✨

Rest isn’t a luxury — it’s part of how you thrive. 💪💤

💬 How talking with a therapist can help you reflect, process, and gain clarity
🌱 Ways to manage stress, set realistic goals, and ease pressure

Kaland Farrow, Pre-Licensed Professional, Athens, AL, 35611, (256) 434-1664, You may be a young adult or adult with a disability, feeling uncertain about your next steps—whether it's transitioning out of school, starting a job, or living more independently.

Excuse the long post! Below is the wonderful bio of our NEWEST ALC. I would like to introduce Kaland Farrow, ALC.

--------

Are you or a loved one navigating the challenges of a disability—or facing anxiety about what comes next? You're not alone, and I'm here to help.

With over 7 years of experience in vocational rehabilitation and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (with a concentration in Rehabilitation Counseling), I specialize in supporting individuals with disabilities as they build the skills and confidence needed for greater independence. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety related to life transitions, employment, education, and daily living—offering practical strategies and compassionate guidance to reduce stress and foster emotional well-being.

Whether you’re a student preparing for life after high school, someone returning to work, or a parent seeking support for your child, I take a person-centered, strengths-based approach. I help clients identify their abilities, set clear goals, and move forward at a pace that feels safe and empowering.

In addition to vocational support, I help clients manage anxiety by building self-awareness, improving self-advocacy, and developing tools for coping with stress and uncertainty—especially during major life changes.

Outside of my professional role, I’m a proud husband and father to three wonderful sons. My family is my daily reminder of the importance of support, balance, and resilience—and I bring those values into every session with my clients.

Let’s work together to create a plan that supports both your independence and your peace of mind.

Licensed counselor specializing in CBT and DBT with a humanistic touch. Passionate about helping clients achieve their personal goals. My goal is to foster a safe environment where clients can explore concerns, develop strategies, and achieve their goals.
