Planning to prioritize your mental health

This year, Christmas falls on a Friday, and that small detail shapes the whole end of the year. The two weeks around Christmas and New Year’s tend to disappear into travel, family visits, and school breaks. For many people, therapy quietly drops off the calendar along with everything else.

We understand why. When the season fills up, a session can feel like the easiest thing to skip. But this time of year is also when many people need support the most. Gatherings can bring old family patterns back to the surface. Sleep gets disrupted, routines fall apart, and grief can feel closer than usual. Couples often find that small disagreements feel bigger when everyone is tired.

That’s why we encourage you to plan your sessions now, while there’s still room to choose.

Move your sessions instead of dropping them

If you know you’ll be traveling or hosting, you don’t have to choose between the holidays and your therapy. Talk with your therapist now about shifting sessions to a different day or week. A session moved to the Monday before you leave keeps your progress going. A session skipped can easily turn into a month-long gap.

Why planning ahead helps

Appointment times fill faster this time of year, especially evenings, and our clinicians take time off over the holidays too. Choosing your times now means you won’t be hunting for an opening in the middle of a stressful week. It also takes one decision off your plate. When your sessions are already set, the time is held for you.

Think about January now, too

The first few weeks of a new year are when many people feel most ready to focus on themselves. If your first session of 2027 is already on the calendar before the holidays start, coming back feels like picking up where you left off rather than starting over.

A few things to bring to your next session

Travel dates and hosting plans
Weeks you expect to be especially full
Telehealth options for busier weeks
Your first available date in January
Remaining FSA or HSA funds

If you’re new to therapy

You don’t have to wait until January to begin. Starting now gives you support through a demanding season and means you’ll head into the new year with help already in place. Our team works with individuals, couples, and families, and we’re glad to help you find the right fit.
