Everyone jokes about New Year's resolutions failing by February. The gym gets crowded for three weeks, then empties out. The diet starts strong, then pizza happens. But here's something different: January might actually be the ideal time to start therapy, and it has nothing to do with resolutions. After the holiday chaos winds down, something interesting happens. We finally have space to think. All those feelings we pushed aside while hosting dinners, buying gifts, and managing family...

Let me tell you something we wish more people understood: the holidays aren't magical for everyone.

...this season has a way of amplifying everything we carry. The grief feels heavier. The loneliness cuts deeper. The pressure to be joyful when you're barely holding it together can feel suffocating.
