We’re deeply grateful.

A 4.9-star rating isn’t just a number to us — it represents trust, vulnerability, and the courage it takes to begin the work of healing.

At Pica & Associates, we’re honored by every review because behind each one is a person who allowed us into their story. That responsibility is something we never take lightly.

Thank you to our clients and community for your kind words, your honesty, and your trust. It’s a privilege to walk alongside you through every phase of growth and healing. 💛

A Friday reminder as we head into the weekend…

With two weeks until Christmas and three weeks until the New Year, it can feel like time is slipping away — like you should be doing more, feeling more, or already have everything figured out.

You’re not behind.
You’re exactly where you are — and that’s okay.

You don’t need to fix everything before the holidays.
You don’t need to reinvent yourself before January 1st.
And you don’t need to rush your healing or your growth.

Take this weekend to rest, reset, and be kind to yourself.
Support is available whenever you’re ready. 💛

If winter feels heavier this year… you’re not imagining it.

In Chicagoland, we’re dealing with short days, limited sunlight, freezing temps, and long stretches stuck indoors. These seasonal changes can impact mood, energy, motivation, and emotional well-being.

This week, we’re breaking down why winter affects mental health — and what you can do to support your mind and body through the season.

Seasonal shifts don’t mean something is wrong with you.
They mean you’re human.

If this winter feels overwhelming or your mood has changed significantly, you’re not alone — and support is available.

Midweek Check-In: How are you really doing?

We’re a few days into December — a month that brings excitement, pressure, emotion, and a pace that can feel faster than we’re ready for.
Before the week gets away from you, pause for a moment and check in with yourself:

• What’s taking up the most space in my mind today?
• Have I been ignoring any feelings or signals from my body?
• What do I need more of?
• What do I need less of?

It’s okay if the answer isn’t “I’m doing great.”
It’s okay if the season feels heavier than it looks.
You’re allowed to slow down, breathe, and care for yourself in the middle of everything else you’re carrying. 💛

If you need support — or a space to talk through the emotions this month brings — we’re here for you.

You don’t have to rush into the season.

The pressure to feel festive, get everything done, and jump straight into holiday mode can be overwhelming.
But your mind and body don’t move on a calendar.
You’re allowed to shift into the season slowly… gently… in your own time.

If you’re feeling stretched, tired, or emotionally unprepared, nothing is wrong with you.
This season can be beautiful — and a lot to hold.
Give yourself permission to ease into it at the pace that feels right for you. 💛

If the month already feels heavy, we’re here to support you through whatever this season brings.

A Gentle Reminder Before Thanksgiving

The goal for tomorrow isn’t perfection — it’s connection.
Not the perfect menu, spotless house, or flawlessly timed dinner.
Just moments of warmth, presence, and being together in whatever way feels real and doable for you.

If today feels busy or overwhelming, pause and breathe.
You don’t have to carry the pressure of making everything “just right.”
The people who matter want you — not a perfect holiday. 💛

Wishing you a grounded, peaceful start to Thanksgiving week.

A Monday Moment Before the Holiday Rush

Thanksgiving week is here — and for many, that brings more than travel plans and grocery lists. It brings pressure, expectations, old family dynamics, emotional triggers, and the silent stress of trying to make everything “perfect.”

So today, take a Monday Moment just for you.
A breath.
A pause.
A reminder that you don’t have to carry it all.

If this week already feels heavy, you’re not alone — and it’s okay to protect your peace as the holiday approaches. 💛

At Pica & Associates, we help you navigate the overwhelm, set healthy boundaries, and move through the season with more clarity and calm.

🕯️ You deserve a holiday that feels gentle — not draining.

Friday Feature | Monica Schaberg, MA, LPC

This week, we’re proud to highlight Ms. Monica Schaberg, a Licensed Professional Counselor whose heart for children, teens, and families shines through in everything she does.

Monica brings over a decade of diverse clinical experience — from residential programs and therapeutic day schools, to working with children with special needs, to serving in the mental health department at the Kane County Jail. Her background gives her a unique, compassionate perspective and a deep understanding of the many challenges young people face today.

Using a person-centered approach, Monica integrates play therapy, CBT, DBT, and family systems therapy. Her philosophy is simple and powerful: every child is different, and it’s worth taking the time to build trust, connection, and comfort before diving into the deeper work. She loves weaving children’s interests into sessions to help them feel safe, seen, and supported.

When she’s not in session, Monica enjoys time with her husband and son — plus their lively “zoo” of a dog, three cats, and two guinea pigs. She loves painting, reading, raising butterflies in the spring and summer, and playing video games with her son.

We’re grateful to have Monica on our team and even more grateful for the care she brings to every young client she supports. 💛
