If you are 40 to 70 years old and feel your problems are personal (anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction) or interpersonal (marital conflict, parenting trouble, work problems), group therapy is an researched-based effective approach. The group's focus on the here-and-now develops your capacity to know what you're feeling in real-time, increases your ability to share your feelings, needs, wishes and wants and to understand others' as well. Group therapy will increase your strength to stand up for yourself and also your willingness to stand with others. This group meets on Zoom.

1A Wellness offers a virtual, 12-week group where members identify and pursue a personal goal related to their healing from trauma while receiving support and feedback from others. Given the potential for trauma-oriented work to bring up painful feelings, this group is for women with relatively stable life circumstances, some good supports and coping skills for managing symptoms, and not actively self-harming or abusing substances. More details can be found at www.1awellness.com/groups-and-workshops/
This fall, 1A Wellness is launching two life-changing groups. The first, "No One Should Grieve Alone," is an in-person group for young adults in their 20s and 30s who have experienced a loss. This group is special because it provides a rare opportunity to grieve in a supportive, understanding environment, among peers who truly get what you're going through. It’s a place to reflect, share, and heal together, helping you move forward with your life. Taking this step can offer the connection and support that are essential to finding peace after loss.

Becoming a mom is one of the most challenging moments in a woman’s life. Even after you have prepared for months during pregnancy, there is probably so much you did not know or understand about your new life. In our global society, your own mom, other family members and close friends may not be able to be nearby to support you. But that does not mean you have to go through this important life transition alone. If postpartum depression or anxiety is contributing to difficulties in the early days, it's really important to get the treatment and support you need to assure your own wellbeing as well as the baby’s health and wellness.

Group therapy is a microcosm of the patterns and relationship challenges that occur in your day-to-day. However, the benefit of group therapy is that there is an opportunity to pause, take a step back, and learn from the dynamics that unfold. Group therapy is one of the best modes of therapy to learn about yourself through the active process of being in relationship with other people who are also on the same journey of wanting to learn and improve their relationships with themselves and others.
While we may not always have control over all aspects of our lives, we have control over how we choose to react, how we make meaning of our situation, and most importantly how we grow from the challenges presented to us. I work with adults throughout the lifespan, from young adults to older adults, in an individual and group therapy setting. I specialize in working with depression, anxiety, trauma, identity development, life transitions, and navigating relationships. I love working with clients who recognize the need for change in their lives and are motivated to work towards bettering their relationship with themselves and others.

Most often people come to therapy because they are experiencing some depression or anxiety related to their relationships, work, or sense of themselves. Despite this pain, making the decision to enter into therapy is often difficult. It takes great courage and a certain amount of hope. It is important to find a therapist with whom you think you will eventually be as open and honest as possible; someone who is non-judgmental, and who can both give and accept feedback. I will take the initial sessions to help us figure out if we can be good collaborators in this undertaking.

This group is for men and women processing difficult feelings associated with change. No one is able to predict the future and life's twists and turns can leave us in a place of uncertainty and indecision. Many individuals are faced with feelings of futility and existential aloneness. This group provides a therapeutic space for individuals to come together with others that are facing similar challenges. The group members will have an opportunity to work together towards resilience, flexibility and learn to experience contentment in the present and hope for the future.
Life can feel overwhelming, whether our distress stems from not getting what we want, or getting exactly what we wanted and yet somehow still feeling unfulfilled. Anxiety, depression, or battling addiction can lead to feelings of frustration and hopelessness. The process of talking in a therapeutic setting is essential in cultivating self-awareness and obtaining the wisdom to make healthier choices. Each person is unique, and I am committed to finding what works best for every person who seeks my support.
