💙 Feeling off after the holidays? You are not alone.

The weeks after the holidays can feel heavy for kids and teens. Stress, tiredness, and mood changes are common.

Simple habits can help:
✅ Consistent sleep
✅ Regular meals
✅ Less screen time before bed
✅ Time to talk about feelings

Mental health is part of overall health. We are here to support your child every step of the way.

Ms. Coco gave Coco a choice. It was her or fishing. 🎣🎄

Coco chose fishing, but he is already missing her. He left a Christmas note, cast a line, and promised to be back soon. Holiday decisions get tough around the clinic.

If you visit this week, look for Coco by the tank and see what he is up to next.

Coco is back and counting down to Christmas in true clinic style. 🎄

He found a spot in our tree, pulled a few cards, and decided the countdown is pure chaos. If you stop by, see if you can spot him before he moves again. Elf behavior stays unpredictable around here.

When he was asked how many days until Santa comes, he shrugged, said "6-7", and went on with his day

We kicked off Christmas Spirit Week with Pajama Day. 🎄

Our team brought the cozy vibes while still giving the same great care your family expects. Days like this make the clinic feel a little more fun and a lot more welcoming. Thanks for celebrating the season with us.
