The holidays can leave us feeling a little… buried.
In expectations. In expenses. In exhaustion.

If you’re in that post-holiday moment of trying to dig out and find your footing again, you’re not alone. This season after the season is often where the real work begins.

Reclaiming calm does not mean fixing everything at once. It can look like reflecting on what worked and what did not, setting more realistic intentions for next time, reconnecting with people who help you feel steady, tending to your body and nervous system, and taking small, thoughtful steps with your finances.

Mental and financial well-being are deeply connected. When one feels strained, the other often does too. Gentleness, clarity, and support matter here.

In this post, we share five practical ways to begin digging out and finding your rhythm again after the holidays. No pressure. No perfection. Just small steps toward steadiness.

You do not have to do it all today.

Ever felt like words just aren't enough?

Sometimes, our emotions need a different language, and that's where art comes in.

Our Art Therapy service offers a gentle way to ground yourself, find calm, and give shape to what is happening inside. It is not about creating masterpieces. It is about using creativity as a pathway to self-discovery and healing.

Imagine finding quiet in the stroke of a brush or clarity in the lines of a sketch. Through art, you may begin to:

🖌️ Slow racing thoughts
🖌️ Process complex emotions
🖌️ Find a moment of calm in a busy world
🖌️ Express feelings that are hard to put into words

No artistic skills are needed. All you need is yourself and an open mind.

Our skilled Art Therapist, Rebecca Harper, creates a safe and welcoming space where clients can express themselves freely through art. Her client-centred approach supports people in exploring emotions, thoughts, and experiences at their own pace.

Rebecca believes Art Therapy is not about creating perfect works, but about the creative process itself as a tool for healing, growth, and deeper self-understanding.

Rebecca is accepting new clients with no wait times and is available Tuesdays until 5pm, Wednesdays until 8pm, and Thursday mornings.

She has limited space so be sure to book now to avoid disappointment.

If you are interested in working with Rebecca or would like more information about our Art Therapy, please book at cherrytree.janeapp.com or contact us via: admin@cherrytreecounselling.ca

You get to choose tenderness where there was tension. You get to pause before reacting and say, “It can stop with me.” That’s the work of generational healing...breaking old cycles with love, not blame.

Parenting differently doesn’t mean you’re rejecting your parents. It means you’re honouring what your inner child needed. You’re giving your kids the presence, patience, or softness you might have longed for.

And some days, it’s hard. Because you’re healing while you’re parenting. You’re reparenting yourself while raising them. That’s brave work. Messy, sacred work.

If it feels heavy, know that you’re not alone in it. Healing families starts with healing hearts.

Honestly? So many of us are walking into 2026 carrying a mix of hope, exhaustion, and that quiet longing for more community in this work.

If that’s you too, come sit with us. ✨

We’re hosting a free, cozy Fireside Chat for Therapists: a relaxed online gathering where you can show up as the part of you that cares deeply, the part that’s worn thin, or the part that’s still figuring it out. All of you is welcome.

Think: favourite drink in hand, soft lighting, colleagues who get it, and a gentle conversation about what we’re collectively craving in the year ahead.

No pressure. No prep. Just connection, stories, a few shared laughs, and that grounded feeling of remembering you’re not doing this alone.

This offering is lovingly hosted by Heather Hendrie (True Nature Wilderness Therapy) and Cree Lambeck (Cherry Tree for Clinicians) in response to the call so many of us have voiced: more solidarity, more abundance, more sharing.

It’s completely free to join.
Save your spot and come breathe with us.

New Supervision Group | Starting February 5

Boundaries.
Burnout.
And what it actually means to have a sustainable caseload.

Our new focused supervision group, Boundaries, Burnout, and Sustainable Caseloads, is facilitated by Clinical Supervisor and Cherry Tree Counselling Director, Cree Lambeck.

This is for therapists who feel stretched thin.
Or quietly overwhelmed.
Or who know something has to change, but aren’t sure where to start.

Together, we’ll slow things down and look at:
– realistic boundaries (not the aspirational kind)
– ethical decision-making when capacity is tight
– emotional overload and compassion fatigue
– the pressures that make this work feel heavier than it needs to

This space offers honest reflection, gentle accountability, and practical strategies you can bring back into your week, so your caseload feels sustainable, not consuming.

If you’re craving more clarity, more steadiness, and a little more breath in your practice, you’re welcome here.

✨ Monthly group supervision
✨ Thursday afternoons 1pm-2:30pm EST
✨ First session begins February 5

Many therapists are feeling called to bring land, nature, and relational ways of knowing more intentionally into their work.
And at the same time, are asking important questions about how to do this with care, respect, and accountability.

Ecotherapy Through an Indigenous Lens is a self-paced online training for therapists who want to deepen their understanding of ecotherapy while learning how Indigenous worldviews, teachings, and relationships with the land can inform therapeutic practice.

This course invites thoughtful reflection on cultural safety, ethical engagement, and what it means to practice ecotherapy in ways that honour Indigenous perspectives without appropriating them. The focus is on learning, listening, and slowing down rather than “adding” techniques.

The training includes eight recorded video lessons, case reflections, and a downloadable workbook designed to support integration into practice at a pace that feels sustainable.

The course is facilitated by Amy, an Indigenous practitioner who weaves perspectives from her cultural background and lived relationship with the land into her work as a Walk and Talk therapist and ecotherapist. She brings a grounded, relational approach that centres respect, responsibility, and connection.

As interest in nature-based therapy continues to grow, this course offers a way to engage that interest with intention and care.

Supervision, slowed down.

Not another box to check.
Not something to rush through between sessions.
But a place to land.

Our new Half-Day Supervision Intensive is a four-hour, seasonal experience for therapists who are craving more spaciousness. Time to pause, turn inward, and reflect in a way that feels deeply supported.

Co-facilitated by our frolleague Heather Hendrie from True Nature Wilderness Therapy and Clinical Director Cree Lambeck of Cherry Tree Counselling, this intensive blends CRPO-eligible clinical supervision with intentional mentorship, grounded community, and space for real integration.

Think of it as a seasonal retreat for your supervision practice.
A companion to your individual, dyad, or group supervision.
A slower rhythm that invites you back into your own wisdom.

You can expect grounding.
You can expect renewal.

You’ll leave feeling resourced, witnessed, and reconnected to the heart of your work.

This small, closed group is especially supportive for therapists working in perinatal and women-focused care, trauma and grief, identity-centred practice, and eco- or nature-based frameworks.

If you’re ready to reflect, reset, and return to your work with intention, you’re warmly invited.

A reminder, as the calendar turns:
You don’t need a word of the year.
Or a five-step plan.
Or a better version of yourself by Monday.

You’re allowed to start this year slowly.
To listen before deciding.
To focus on steadiness instead of striving.

We’re here for the year ahead—whenever you’re ready.
Welcome to the new year. 🤍

As the year comes to a close, we’re not rushing to summarize it or make meaning too quickly.

Some years are about growth.
Some are about survival.
Most are a mix of both.

If you’re arriving tonight feeling tired, proud, uncertain, relieved—or all at once—you’re not behind. You’re human.

Here’s to closing the year with honesty, compassion, and a little less pressure to have it all figured out. 🌙
