December is kinda like one big test of willpower, right? Between sales, sweets, and saying “yes” to everything… it’s easy to get carried away. One more gift, one more cookie, one more late night; it adds up fast. 😮‍💨

That’s why a few small reminders can go a long way: pausing before you buy, making a plate (not a pile), keeping some routines, and giving yourself grace when it doesn’t go “perfect.”

At GHCS, we help people learn how to slow down those impulsive moments and find balance that actually lasts, not just in December, but year-round.

What’s your biggest holiday temptation: shopping, sweets, or saying yes to everything? 👀

“Mom, please don’t go.”
“Dad, can you stay with me?”

If you’ve ever heard those words, you know how much they tug at your heart. And December (between concerts, family parties, and extra busy schedules) can make those goodbyes even harder for kids who already struggle with separation.

Here’s the thing: they don’t need picture-perfect holidays. They need extra hugs, calm goodbyes, and a parent who shows them safety even when it’s hard.

And if it feels like the anxiety is getting heavier than what you can handle on your own, our Separation Anxiety service is here to walk with you: https://www.greaterhoustoncounselingservices.com/therapy-services/children-and-adolescents/separation-anxiety/

You don’t have to figure it out alone. ❤️

What’s one little thing that helps your child feel safe when you have to say goodbye?

At Greater Houston Counseling Services, we believe mental health is not a luxury, it’s a right.

We see it every day: people who’ve been told their struggles aren’t “big enough,” or that therapy isn’t “for people like them.” But the truth is, everyone deserves care. Everyone deserves to feel heard, supported, and valued.

That’s why we show up the way we do. We are fully committed to creating safe spaces where you can lay down the weight you’ve been carrying.

On Human Rights Day, we’re reminded that dignity and well-being belong to all of us. And here at GHCS, we’ll keep fighting to make sure access to mental health care reflects that truth.

Because your story matters. Your healing matters. YOU matter.

💙 If you’ve been waiting for a sign that it’s okay to ask for help, this is it.

Feeling alone with your struggles? You’re not. 💛

Group therapy is more than just a safe space to talk: it’s a powerful place to connect, learn from others, and grow together. From practicing social skills to finding motivation and encouragement, every session helps you feel seen, supported, and less isolated.

We are actively building our schedule and will be launching new, targeted groups this Spring! Follow us to stay updated on how you can join a supportive community.

The holidays can be magical but also kinda overwhelming. Some of us love the sparkle, lights, and all the festive vibes. 🎄✨ Others just want to keep it simple and stress-free. 😌

Which one are you this year: full-on holiday sparkle or cozy and low-key?

Holidays in a blended family can be… a mix. Two trees, three schedules, four opinions on dinner 😂.

But here’s the good news: it doesn’t have to be perfect to feel special. Sometimes the best moments are the silly ones, the small ones, or the brand-new traditions you make along the way.

And if things feel more stressful than joyful, that’s okay too. Talking it out with a family therapist can help take the pressure off and bring back the peace (and maybe even the fun).

Need a little backup with family conflict? We’ve got you: https://www.greaterhoustoncounselingservices.com/therapy-services/family/family-conflict/

Winter can feel draining. If you find yourself consistently battling low energy, brain fog, or deep carb cravings when the sun disappears, it might be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). 😔

It’s a valid, real form of depression triggered by those shorter, darker days—not just a case of the ""winter blues.""

The key is taking simple, consistent steps: get moving, chase the light, and stay connected to your people. You don't have to just ""hibernate"" until spring.

Understanding SAD is the first step toward feeling better. We put together a guide on how the lack of sunlight affects your serotonin and how you can take back control.

Today’s not just another “awareness day.” It’s a reminder that people living with disabilities aren’t defined by them. They’re friends, family, coworkers, neighbors; they’re people with big dreams, talents, and stories worth celebrating.

Inclusion isn’t about fancy words, it’s about small choices we make every day… slowing down, listening, making space, showing kindness.

At GHCS, we believe everyone deserves a safe place to be themselves and feel supported no matter what challenges they’re carrying. 💛

So today, let’s celebrate the strength, the courage, and the everyday wins of people with disabilities.

What’s one way you practice inclusion in your own life?

The holidays can be magical but they can also feel overwhelming. That’s why “silent nights” aren’t just about carols… they’re about giving your nervous system a break.

When you slow down, unplug, and create small moments of calm, you’re reminding yourself that your well-being matters too.

So, this December, make space for quiet, rest, and peace, even if it’s just a few minutes at night.

How do you wind down on winter nights?

December is called National Stress-Free Family Holiday Month (which honestly sounds amazing, right?). But let’s be honest: most of us are running around, juggling family plans, shopping, and trying to keep the peace. Stress-free? Not usually.

Here’s the thing though: a little stress is normal, even helpful. It keeps us moving. But too much? That’s when it messes with our sleep, mood, and health. The good news is that you don’t have to carry it all alone.

Even simple stuff like taking a deep breath, cutting back on caffeine, or giving yourself permission to step away for a minute can make a difference. And if the pressure still feels too heavy, talking with a therapist can give you real tools to handle it better.

Because the holidays should be more about connection, not chaos. ✨

What’s one small way you’re keeping your peace this month?

Happy Birthday, Stephanie! 🎂

Hope your day is as full of love, fun, and good energy as your big, beautiful family. Between chasing your little ones, sharing laughs with your partners, and maybe even sneaking in a few pages of a good book, we hope you feel celebrated exactly as you are.

You’ve spent over two decades helping kids and adults feel seen, supported, and understood especially those who don’t always fit the mold. Thank you for creating spaces where people can be fully themselves, without judgment.

Today, may you get back even a fraction of the warmth and care you give so freely to others. You deserve it.

Wishing you a genuinely wonderful birthday!

We’re often our own toughest critics, but tearing yourself down won’t help you grow. 💙

Learning self-compassion is a powerful step toward building real confidence and healthier self-esteem.

At GHCS, we support individuals who struggle with low self-esteem, helping them replace harsh self-talk with tools that actually build them up.

You deserve to feel good about who you are.
