If you feel like you’ve got a case of seasonal sadness, you’re not making it up.

Shorter days really do affect our mood, energy, and motivation. The good news? Small habits — like getting daylight, moving your body, or just reaching out — can make a real difference!

Already feel the winter blues and ready to hibernate? (It happens to the best of us)

Making plans doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Pick a favorite way to socialize—or a hobby you love—and invite a few friends.

Even small, meaningful moments can help you from isolating ❄️

The holidays can be magical… and also incredibly stressful 😅

Take a moment to pause and reflect, let go of what is bringing you stress, and make space for more joy and rest in this last month of the year.

Your holiday season doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be yours.

Thanksgiving can stir up all kinds of emotions — love, tension, frustration, and sometimes guilt.

It’s okay if gratitude doesn’t come easily this year.

One way to prepare? Know your values. When you’re clear on what matters most to you, you can navigate family gatherings with more compassion and boundaries.

Gratitude doesn’t have to be perfect.

Meet Bartley (aka Buddy)! 🌟

He’s passionate about helping adults navigate life’s ups and downs—from anxiety and depression to trauma, grief, bipolar disorder, work stress, and OCD. With a DBT-forward approach and training in EMDR, ERP, and more, Buddy tailors each session to support meaningful growth and emotional balance.

When he’s not with clients, you’ll find him hiking the trails, lifting at the gym, getting competitive with board games, or writing to unwind.

We’re honored to have his experience and passion guiding our work!

Self-care: scrolling memes to process feelings ✨

Because communication isn’t about winning—it’s about understanding.

We help clients learn skills that make hard conversations easier (like DBT’s DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST) to express needs clearly, protect self-respect, and care for relationships.

We also use REBT, a tool that helps reframe unhelpful thoughts (like “If they don’t agree with me, I don’t belong”) into something more balanced and compassionate.

When things feel tense, pause and ask:
✨ Am I being clear but kind?
✨ Can I reframe this in a healthier way?

Not every disagreement has to turn into a debate. It is possible to communicate honestly and stay connected.

Sometimes therapy looks like journaling with your morning coffee, taking a quiet walk, or laughing with someone who truly listens. Whatever helps you reconnect with yourself — that’s your kind of therapy 💛

Whenever you’re ready for the deeper stuff, we’re here to help you find the kind of therapy that helps you grow, heal, and feel more like you 🌿

New month, new moment to pause 🍂

Before the holiday rush begins, take a breath and check in with yourself. What do you need this November—to feel grounded, grateful, and at ease?

This month isn’t about doing more. It’s about noticing what’s already good, simplifying where you can, and protecting your peace before the season speeds up.

Grab your journal (or your notes app) and reflect:
💛 What am I most grateful for right now?
💛 What boundaries will help me protect my energy?
💛 How can I slow down and actually enjoy what’s going well?

Here’s to a mindful, gratitude-filled November 🍂

Parenting isn’t about being your child’s favorite—it’s about being someone they can trust and rely on. 💛

There’s a time to listen, and a time to set boundaries. You can be loving and firm at the same time. Your child doesn’t have to like every rule you set—but they do need to know you’re their steady foundation.

Family therapy can help parents navigate these moments, learn strategies to guide and support their child, and strengthen the connection within your whole family.
