Even the Grinch had boundaries and honestly he was onto something. 🎄

As Christmas Eve gatherings begin, it is okay to protect your peace.
You do not have to stay longer than you want.
You do not have to engage in conversations that steal your joy.
You do not have to force cheer if your heart needs something quieter.

Setting boundaries does not make you the Grinch.
It makes you self aware.

This holiday season, choose rest, honesty, and a little extra compassion for yourself.

Our therapist Kimmi has a special holiday for you today! 👇

The holidays can bring connection, warmth, and meaning—but they can also activate stress, old family dynamics, and pressure to show up in ways that don’t feel sustainable. Boundaries during the holiday season might look different than the rest of the year, and that’s okay.

A boundary can sound like:
• “I’m not comfortable talking about that.”
• “We’ll stop by for a short visit.”
• “I need to take a break.”
• “This year, I’m doing things differently.”

Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you’re cold, ungrateful, or dramatic. It means you’re paying attention to your limits, your nervous system, and your emotional well-being.

This season, consider asking yourself:
“What do I need in order to feel regulated, present, and safe?”

That answer matters.

If you have been doing the work trying medication after medication and still feel stuck this is your reminder that your story is not over.

Spravato offers a different approach for people living with treatment resistant depression. It works differently than traditional antidepressants and for many it opens the door to relief when other options have not helped.

We provide Spravato in a calm supportive setting with a collaborative care team that understands how heavy this journey can feel. You are monitored you are supported and you are never rushed through the process.

If you are ready to explore a new path or simply want to learn more we are here to talk it through with you.

In EMDR therapy you will often hear your therapist ask
“What do you notice?”
There is no right answer.
It is okay if nothing comes up.
It is okay if you feel confused unsure or blank.
Noticing can be a thought a feeling a body sensation an image or simply the awareness that you are present. All of it is information.

EMDR is about letting your brain and body lead the process instead of forcing insight or answers. EMDR trained therapists create a safe steady space where healing can happen at your pace.

The holidays can be magical and exhausting at the same time especially for moms. From juggling schedules expectations traditions and emotions it can feel like everyone else’s needs come first.

Our therapists want you to know this. You are allowed to slow down simplify and ask for help. Protect your energy set realistic expectations and remember that presence matters more than perfection.

This season does not have to be about doing it all. It can be about doing what truly matters to you and your family.

Spravato appointments be like: “BRB healing my brain chemistry and minding my business.”
When nothing else has worked sometimes you need the treatment with main character energy.

Tip Tuesday from Gabrielle: Supporting a loved one with an eating disorder this holiday season means focusing on connection, not food. Ask, listen, respect boundaries, and celebrate moments together, because no one needs to ‘earn’ their meal. 💛

For some people it is not overthinking. 👏👏

It is a constant mix of noise thoughts worries and what ifs all competing for attention at the same time.

If your brain feels loud even when the world is calm you are not alone and there is nothing wrong with you. Anxiety, ADHD, trauma and chronic stress can all make it hard for your mind to settle.

We help you learn how to slow the noise calm your nervous system and create moments of real quiet inside your own head.

It is possible to feel different and we can help you get there.
