Find peace in the chaos.

The holidays often come with joy and pressure — gatherings, traditions, expectations, deadlines, and memories can all collide at once.

It’s easy to feel stretched thin or overloaded by:
🎄 Family obligations and social events
🛍️ Financial and gift-giving stress
✈️ Travel plans and packed calendars
💬 Relationship dynamics and expectations
🕯️ End-of-year reflections and emotional weight

During the holidays, peace isn’t created by doing everything perfectly, but by intentional self-care, realistic expectations, and healthy boundaries.

Even small moments of intention can help:
🧘‍♀️ Pause for a few deep breaths between activities
📵 Take breaks from constant stimulation and screens
📝 Focus on what truly matters this season — not what’s expected
🚶‍♂️ Ground your body with movement or fresh air
🤍 Offer yourself grace when emotions run high

If the holidays bring stress, worry, anxiety, sadness, relational strain, exhaustion, irritability or more, counseling and therapy can help you process, reset, and move through it all with greater clarity and calm.

It’s okay to walk your own path.

When everyone around you seems to be moving in a different direction, it’s easy to question yourself and where you’re heading.

Your trajectory may feel quieter, slower, or less obvious than others’. You might pause while others progress. You might turn when others keep going straight.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, conflict in relationships, self-doubt, difficult life changes, or simply trying to understand who you are and where you’re going—your journey doesn’t have to match anyone else’s to be meaningful.

🔹You’re allowed to move at your own pace.
🔹You’re allowed to choose a different direction.
🔹You’re allowed to walk your own path.

Finding your own way forward isn’t a flaw—it’s a form of clarity. And when you need support along the way, you don’t have to face it alone.

You don’t have to solve everything today.

We live in a world that pressures us to fix it all fast, figure it out as soon as possible, and keep moving, keep going—even when our minds and bodies are asking for a pause.

And sometimes, the pressure you put on yourself is heavier than the problem.

You think:
👉You should be further along….
👉You should know the answers to your problems.…
👉You should have it all figured out by now….

Here’s the truth: No one solves everything in a day. Not in growth, not in healing, not in relationships, not in life.

At Hillis Counseling, we focus on helping you create movement and progress at a pace that works best for you. Therapy allows you to slow down, unpack what’s heavy, and move forward with clarity rather than panic and worry.

If you’re ready for support that meets you where you are, we’re here to help you:
🔸 Learn tools to calm your mind and redirect your thoughts.
🔸 Focus on what’s right in front of you—not everything else.
🔸 Better understand your emotional intelligence and balance.
🔸 Break things into smaller parts you can actually manage.
🔸 Find moments of peace without having all the answers.
🔸 Build your plan with goals that feel achievable.

Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, big life changes, or more….you don’t have to face it all at once. Give yourself permission to grow at your pace. Call us today for a free phone consultation to talk about how we can help.

The strongest families are not the ones without conflict, but the ones who know how to resolve and repair.

Family relationships are often deeply rewarding—but they can also come with stress, misunderstandings, arguments, and emotional distance.

At Hillis Counseling, we help families navigate life’s challenges together:
🗣️ Communication breakdowns
⚡ Ongoing conflict or tension
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parenting challenges
🤬 Behavioral concerns in children, teens, or young adults
🌊 Major life changes (divorce, remarriage, loss of a loved one, relocation, job loss/layoff).
🧠 Mental health struggles impacting the family

What the process looks like:
Family therapy sessions are structured, supportive, and goal-oriented. We work together to uncover patterns, identify strengths, and create practical steps toward healthier family dynamics. Each voice matters—and every session is designed to be a safe, balanced space for growth.

The benefits of family therapy include:
✅ Healthier communication patterns
✅ Stronger emotional connections
✅ Better coping and problem-solving skills
✅ Increased empathy
✅ Improved confidence and emotional awareness
✅ Reduced stress and anxiety
✅ Feeling respected, valued, and understood

A family doesn’t have to be perfect to flourish and thrive—it has to be honest and open with one another. Trust our team to help guide you and your family on this journey.🌿

Be kind to yourself, you’re listening.

🧠💭 The way you talk to yourself matters more than you often realize. A negative inner dialogue can quietly shape how you feel, how you act, and how you connect with others—creating cycles of doubt, shame, anxiety, sadness, emotional distance and more.

At Hillis Counseling, we help individuals, couples, and families learn how to recognize these patterns and begin rewriting the narrative.

When your mindset becomes more hopeful, compassionate, and empowering, it doesn’t just change how you feel — it transforms your life.

Changing your mental outlook can lead to:
🔹Improved confidence and mood
🔹Reduced rumination and worry
🔹Deeper emotional understanding
🔹Improved focus and concentration
🔹Greater resilience and problem-solving
🔹Stronger relationships
🔹More meaningful communication
🔹Reduced symptoms of anxiety, depression, stress

You don’t have to stay stuck in critical or hurtful self-directed thoughts. You can learn to change your frame of mind and create a perspective that is more optimistic, fulfilling, and aligned with the life you want to live.

✨Difficult parts of your life are not defined by darkness, but by the light you choose to carry through them.

At Hillis Counseling, we help you rebuild clarity and direction using evidence-based approaches for:
🌿 Anxiety & stress management
🌧️ Depression, low motivation & burnout
💬 Communication, social interactions
💞 Relationship difficulties
🧩 Emotional intelligence & regulation
🧠 Overwhelming thoughts, worries & self-doubt
🔄 Life changes, major decisions & feeling “stuck”
💛 Confidence & self-esteem building

✨Gratitude Can Change Everything

When you intentionally focus on what you’re thankful for, you begin to shift your mindset, your mood, and your emotional world.

Gratitude isn’t about ignoring life’s challenges — it’s about changing the way you experience them.

When we learn to see the positives, the negatives don’t feel as heavy. When we focus on what’s good, the hard moments become easier to manage and tolerate.

Gratitude has the power to:
🔹 Reduce anxiety and stress
🔹 Improve emotional balance and mood
🔹 Strengthen perspective-taking
🔹 Decrease overthinking and rumination
🔹 Heighten focus, attention, mental flexibility
🔹 Reduce irritability and anger
🔹 Increase resiliency

Being thankful for the people, experiences, opportunities, and even the small moments in your life helps you create a better life.

Wishing you moments of peace, laughter, and time with those who matter most. Happy Thanksgiving!

You don’t have to carry your pain alone. Together, we’ll work toward healing, growth, and a renewed sense of control over your life.

At Hillis Counseling, we believe healing and growth takes many forms-and art is one of them.

As a way to highlight the impactful role of art in the counseling and therapy process, we showcase a new artist each month, inviting the beauty and creativity of their work into our therapeutic space.

Just look at some of the potential benefits of surrounding yourself with art:
🌿Reduced Stress and Anxiety
🙂Improved Mood and Self-Esteem
💭Heightened Self-Awareness
✨Increased Emotional Expression and Reflection
🧠Improved Cognitive Functioning

Throughout September, Hillis Counseling has been fortunate to have the fantastic works of this month’s featured artist, Cynthia (Cindy) Fritz, displayed on our Art Wall. Please read below about Cindy and visit her page to see more of her incredible artwork.

Cindy graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa with a major in art. She obtained her art teaching credential at The University of Iowa, in Iowa City, where she also became Mrs. John Fritz. Cindy and John have three daughters and two grandchildren who are often subjects of her paintings and drawings. She has taught many subjects including art for over 25 years for both Christian schools and home school, and is continuing to offer classes to children and adults at her home in Forney.

Cindy paints all types of subjects. Her favorite media are pencil, charcoal, watercolor, and pastel. She gets many of her ideas for her art while on trips, where she takes photographs for later use. “I love to try to make pictures that show the beauty of God’s creation,” remarks Cindy. “I try to capture it on paper.”
