To avoid burnout at work during the holidays, try to commend yourself for each task completed and compliment others on their good work.

Family gatherings are common for many people during the holidays, no matter what you celebrate. While it can be nice to spend quality time with your relatives, it’s not always as joyful as we would hope.

Prioritize setting and reinforcing boundaries (like what topics are off limits and why or around how time will be split with different family members). Acknowledge the changes and your feelings about them. Consider creating new traditions.

At Lightfully Behavioral Health, we are here to treat the whole person. We recognize that you’re more than your diagnosis, and we are here to help you put the pieces back together so that you can become the brightest version of yourself and enjoy the holidays.

For many, the holidays come with the exchanging of gifts, which can put stress on finances. While it’s hard to see spending too much money in a “positive light,” set financial boundaries. Be selective about what you spend money on so the reward outweighs the cost.

If you need further support to handle holiday stressors, talking to a therapist can be helpful. If you’re experiencing severe mental health distress that’s affecting your quality of life, our intensive levels of care at Lightfully may be the support you’re looking for.

Which reminder did you need the most? We know that Thanksgiving can be hard. Maybe no one has told you how much you mean to them today. Or, maybe, you're mourning a lost loved one or relationship. Holidays can be hard. Just remember: You are loved and valued.

Everyone has their own unique relationship with the holiday season, and each year can bring different circumstances and different feelings. It's OK to create and honor boundaries that protect you and your mental health.

If you’re having a hard time managing your stress this year, know that you’re not alone. The holidays are a great time to start mental health care or maintain the treatment plan you've already established.

At Lightfully, we focus on providing personalized treatments that help you in every part of your life. If you’re looking for a new approach to mental health treatment, reach out to our Admissions Concierge Team.

Let’s talk about what’s going on right now and what kind of support you need to get through it.

For many the holidays can be a time of gratitude and joy, but we understand that's not always the case. The holidays can also be difficult. There can be stress. There can be grief.

The holidays are a great time to consider Lightfully's Short Term Option. Your mental health should always be your main priority, but sometimes you don’t have the time or circumstances to devote months to treating your mental distress or disorder symptoms.

To learn more about the best treatment option for you, reach out to our Admissions Concierge Team. We’ll take the next steps together, toward the fullest, brightest version of you.

Alcohol use and depression touch almost every part of your life. Long-term recovery isn’t just about quitting. It involves finding new coping skills, activities and relationships to meet your needs. There is hope that you can recover from alcohol use and depression and feel like yourself again.

These symptoms may not be your fault, but there are things you can do to get the treatment you need and find relief. At Lightfully, our licensed clinicians provide personalized, whole-person-focused primary mental health care. That means they see our clients as people first, not a list of symptoms or a diagnosis.

Are you looking for depression treatment that supports and integrates with your recovery from alcohol use? We can help. When you’re ready to take the first step, reach out to our Admissions Concierge Team.

Intuition or anxiety? Both may feel like protective instincts. However, anxiety is often attached to feelings of uncertainty or worries about an outcome that you can’t control.

Intuition is more like a deep wisdom or sense of knowing that you can’t explain. True intuition feels calm and grounded, while anxiety-driven reactions carry urgency, tension and fear that demand immediate action. Knowing the difference can help you navigate life with confidence.

Let Lightfully help you get to know yourself well and learn how to respond to your thoughts and feelings in helpful ways. We can also help with anxiety too. Reach out to our admissions concierge team today.
