Revisiting New Year’s Resolutions in Therapy

New Year, New You!  — make 2026 the year you keep your resolutions.  WARNING:  Don't do this alone!

Every January people vow to become better versions of themselves by eating healthier, getting more fit, managing stress better, and even being kinder to themselves!   None of these goals are the problem, and the problem isn’t motivation — it’s trying to do it alone, and resolutions often fall apart when putting them into action becomes difficult.  This could be because the goals are too lofty and not achievable.  Or, because they don't truly align with your personal goals, meaning that you're setting goals that you think you should set, but not necessarily ones that are meaningful to you.  But more than this, New Year's Resolutions fail because they are often carried out in isolation.   If you would like support in taking your resolution to a new level of change, Innerworks Psychotherapy can support you by providing the support you need to turn your good intentions into lasting change through practical, evidence-based therapy.  Internal Family Systems provides unique ways to look at your inner world of emotions and the parts of you that may experience challenges or reluctance when trying to initiate changes into your daily life and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you by challenging belief systems that may be full of distorted thinking.  Together, these evidence-based models can guide you toward positive change and greater emotional well being.  

Individual Therapy can be an important step in supporting your New Year’s resolutions.

•  It offers you steady, achievable changes that are right for you, rather than generalized, quick fixes.  By starting with a highly individualized plan, let's start where you are and build realistic, step-by-step goals that align with your values.

• If past experiences make change feel uncomfortable or overwhelming, we will work together to provide a compassionate, structured treatment plan to include ways to support you going forward.
