❄️ Winter can bring snowflakes, snowmen, peace, joy, and good tidings. But for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), winter can also bring serious depression.

Each year, around 5% of people in the US experience SAD. This is more than just a case of the blahs and can have a major impact on a person’s ability to function.

We share 4 statistics on who's at risk the most and offer practical ways to be proactive. On our blog, we go in-depth on treatment and whether or not it's more than seasonal sadness.

If you're struggling with seasonal sadness or suspect it's something more, we're here for you. Call and schedule with one of our counselors today.

On this Thanksgiving, we’re reminded how powerful it can be to stop, take a breath, and give thanks — for the little things, the big moments, and the people who lift us up.

No journey is too small to celebrate, and no struggle is too big to be faced alone. As you gather at your table — whether surrounded by loved ones or finding your own moments of peace — know that gratitude grows even in life’s hardest seasons. 💚

If this holiday feels heavy or brings up more than thanks, we’re here to help. Contact us at (616) 499-4711 — you never have to go it alone.

Abuse isn't always physical, and gaslighting isn't just about lying – it's about dismantling someone's trust in themselves. Studies show that interventions for domestic violence victims can be effective, particularly when victims receive support in recognizing and naming their experiences.

If you recognize these patterns – constant self-doubt, feeling crazy or oversensitive, struggling to trust your memory – you're not alone.

Schedule for a Free consult (bi-lingual counselor available) or contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or text "START" to 88788. Whether the abuse is physical or psychological, your experiences are valid, and your reality matters. Breaking free starts with trusting yourself again.

Thinking about getting help for your relationship? You’re brave for even considering it. Sometimes, traditional couples counseling isn’t the right first move—especially if you’re feeling small or unsafe. There are other ways to get support, like working with a Relationship Advisor. Whatever you decide, reaching out is an act of self-care, not failure. You deserve clarity and confidence.

At Amplified Life Counseling, we offer therapists right in the heart of Byron Center, who are here to listen and guide you through the steps to differentiate relational concerns and get you the special help you need. Contact our Care Team for a FREE 15-minute consultation at 616-499-4711.

If you ever feel your safety is at immediate risk, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE (7233). They provide 24/7 confidential support and can connect you with local resources.

🏫 Whether your child is excited, nervous, or somewhere in between, this transition can be a big deal. We’re here to help!

As a local, trusted provider of child counseling services for Byron Center Schools and other area schools, we want to share some practical ways you can support your child’s mental and emotional health this season.

A: Acknowledge Their Feelings - Let them know whatever they’re feeling is okay. Sometimes just being heard can ease a child’s worries.

B: Build Predictable Routines - Practice morning and evening routines together. This can go a long way toward helping kids feel secure.

C: Coach Coping Skills - Practice some simple coping skills together: deep breathing, positive self-talk, or coming up with a list of people they can turn to for help at school.

Transitions can be tough, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. If you notice your child is struggling more than usual with school worries, reach out to us at Amplified Life Counseling & Coaching. Our team is here to support your family with proven tools and compassion, every step of the way. Contact our Care Team at 616-499-4711.

☀️ Summer’s supposed to be all sunshine and laughter—school’s out, the pool’s open, and your calendar’s overflowing with “fun.” But let’s be real: all that action can leave both kids and parents feeling burned out, anxious, or just plain blue.

If you’re more frazzled than free, you’re in good company. Even picture-perfect plans can bring on exhaustion, social overload, or that weird pressure to be “happy” 24/7. Throw in late sunsets that wreck sleep and the total disappearance of school routines, and it’s no wonder families can feel unmoored.

The good news? We’ve got 7 simple tips on the blog to help your crew stay grounded—and actually enjoy the best parts of summer. 🙌🏼

If you ever feel like you need a little extra support, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help you and your family make the most of this summer—together. Contact our Care Team at 616-499-4711.

If you could use some support, we’re here for you. Check out our latest blog for 9 simple ways to manage summer stress and actually enjoy yourself. And if it’s all feeling like too much, don’t hesitate to contact us at 616-499-4711. http://bit.ly/4ki7fzm
