Why Summer is a great time to start treatment!

Summer often brings out a much-needed change of pace. With school out and work schedules shifting, many families and individuals find that this season offers the perfect window to focus on mental health and individual well-being. Whether you have been considering treatment for a while or are just starting to explore your options, summer can be an ideal time to take that first step. One of the biggest advantages of beginning treatment during the summer is the increased downtime. Without the usual academic or extracurricular pressures, both teens and adults often have more flexibility in their schedules. This extra time makes it easier to commit to appointments, assessments, or sessions.

This time also tends to be a lower-stress season overall. The relaxed environment can create the right mental space to engage in treatment more effectively. When stress levels are lower, people are often more receptive to getting treatment and able to make meaningful progress without the distractions or emotional weight of the school year or peak work seasons

In addition, summer simply provides the time needed to prioritize treatment. For treatment that require consistency over several weeks—like EEG-guided TMS or cognitive remediation—this time of year offers the breathing room needed to build momentum and stick with the process. It also allows for better coordination between family members, providers, and support systems, making everything from transportation to scheduling more manageable.

At NeuroSynchrony Health, we understand that starting treatment is a personal decision, and timing plays a critical role. That’s why we encourage individuals to take advantage of this more relaxed season to begin their wellness journey. With comprehensive assessments, personalized protocols, and advanced treatments like EEG-guided TMS, we’re here to help make the most of your summer—by helping you or your loved one feel better, think clearer, and function more fully.
