The Holidays Aren't Merry for Everyone

This time of year is merry and bright for many of us, but for others, it’s a time of overwhelming sadness and stress.

Maybe you lost someone or money is too tight to buy gifts. Perhaps you’re a parent that is exhausted yet feels like you haven’t done enough fun holiday activities with your child. Maybe you’re lonely. Or maybe you just wish Christmas would be over already because Christmas music has been blaring at the stores since October.

Whatever your source of depression or frustration may be this holiday season, please know, you’re not alone, and we totally get it.

If you need to talk, our professional therapists are here to listen. Don’t bottle it up. Don’t let sadness or stress consume you. Reach out to us and schedule an appointment as soon as possible. Just call or text 304-643-4005.
