✨ A New Way to Think About the New Year ✨

As we step into a new year, our counselor Amelia Abernathy, LPC (chatgpt://generic-entity?number=0) has been reflecting on the pressure we often place on ourselves this season.

In nature, animals respond to winter with care and wisdom—they slow down, hibernate, store food, or migrate. Meanwhile, humans are told to do the opposite: set big goals, push harder, and expect immediate change.

Instead of asking “What are your goals for the new year?” Amelia has been asking clients something different:
How are you planning to care for yourself so your goals are even possible?

Especially in these first weeks back after the holidays—when energy feels low and everything moves a little slower—care isn’t optional. It’s foundational.

At Millennium, we believe healing doesn’t come from forcing productivity. It comes from listening to your body, honoring your season, and choosing compassion over perfection. 💙

As you enter this new year, we invite you to consider:
What would it look like to lead with care?

Last month, we had the joy of celebrating 21 years of Millennium 🤍

Our anniversary open house was a meaningful reminder of the community, care, and connection that have shaped our work over the past two decades. Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who have been part of this journey. We’re so grateful for where we’ve been—and excited for what’s ahead.

Recovery isn’t just about stopping a behavior—it’s about learning how to sit with what comes up along the way. Mindfulness helps clients notice thoughts, emotions, and triggers with curiosity instead of judgment.

As we head into the new year, we’re excited to offer a new mindfulness-based recovery group, designed specifically for clients in the early stages of recovery. This group will center on awareness, regulation, connection, and building a foundation for sustainable healing.

More details coming soon!

If you’re feeling it too, we hope you’ll take it as an invitation—not to do more, but to check in with yourself. And if support would help, our team at Millennium is here with open doors and open conversations.

Recovery is a journey of becoming — of evolving into a new version of yourself. ✨

Dr. Reylla Santos reminds us how mindfulness deepens that process by helping us understand our inner world, speak our feelings out loud, and find healing in connection with others. It’s also a powerful tool in interrupting the thoughts that can lead to relapse.

Interested in joining her upcoming group? We’d love to have you. More information coming soon!!

December can be a beautiful month, but it can also feel heavy. If you’ve made it this far, that’s something to be proud of.
Whether you’re navigating sobriety, stress, grief, or just the weight of the year, finishing strong doesn’t have to mean doing it all. Sometimes it simply means taking care of yourself one day at a time.

We’re here to support you through the season and into a healthier new year.

Therapy gives you tools to understand yourself—and language is the first tool.

If these terms resonated, you’re not alone.
We’re here when you’re ready.

We’re excited to introduce our interns, Anna and Chase! They bring fresh perspectives, genuine compassion, and a commitment to learning that enriches the work we do at Millennium. We’re so grateful to have them with us this year!

Our therapist Lilly wrote this reflection, and it’s one that really resonated with our team. 💭

So often, we chase the big, “championship” moments and overlook the small, intentional choices that truly move us forward. Lilly reminds us that progress isn’t always about grand gestures — sometimes it’s quiet consistency and one intentional step at a time.

A reminder for all of us to slow down, celebrate the small wins, and honor the process. 🌿
