As the holidays approach, Salt River Therapy is making more resources available to help people cope with issues including family stress, isolation, and mental health issues that come up over the holiday period. These resources include social support and ways to deal with problems.
Salt River Therapy, a trusted boutique therapy practice based in Brooklyn, New York, is delighted to announce that it is expanding its availability to provide additional support for those seeking guidance during this potentially rough time.
The holiday season is often hailed as a time of joy and togetherness, but it can also be a period of heightened stress and emotional strain. As family members come together, old dynamics resurface, and individuals may find themselves confronting a range of common mental health challenges. These can include feelings of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and heightened interpersonal conflicts. Those feeling holiday blues can find out more about Salt River Therapy’s services and treatment approaches at www.saltrivertherapy.com.
Teresa Thompson, Founder and Senior Therapist at Salt River Therapy, explains, “While the holidays can be a source of joy and connection, they can also trigger feelings of isolation and anxiety. People often feel pressured to meet unrealistic expectations, and unresolved family issues can resurface, leading to emotional distress.”
Jack Skelton, Associate Therapist at Salt River Therapy, adds, “It’s important to recognize that these feelings are normal and that seeking therapy during this time can be immensely beneficial. Therapy provides individuals with tools to manage stress, cope with difficult emotions, and improve their relationships with loved ones.”
Therapy during the holiday season can offer a lifeline to individuals facing various challenges:
*Coping with Holiday Stress: The pressure to create the “perfect” holiday experience can be overwhelming. Therapy helps individuals manage stress and set realistic expectations, allowing them to enjoy the season more fully.
*Managing Family Dynamics: Family gatherings can bring both joy and tension. Therapy offers strategies for navigating challenging family dynamics, setting boundaries, and improving communication.
*Combating Loneliness: For those who may be spending the holidays alone, therapy provides a supportive space to address feelings of loneliness and explore strategies for connection.
*Addressing Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Some individuals experience Seasonal Affective Disorder during the winter months. Therapy can help individuals develop coping mechanisms and explore treatment options.
*Overcoming Grief: The holidays can intensify feelings of grief for those who have lost loved ones. Therapy offers a compassionate and understanding environment to process grief and find ways to honor cherished memories.

The practice is expanding its availability to accommodate the increased demand for therapy services, ensuring that individuals can access the support they need.
