I am a social scientist who is open to mystery. I look at therapy through a developmental lens and know that a good life demands that we keep growing - no matter what success we have achieved there is no permanent stopping point (until the end). Years in this field have taught that while people are more fragile than I first imagined, they are also beautifully fierce, well, and capable of love.

Women's Trauma Group (virtual group)

Hosted by

Kristina Harter

RECENT PRICE REDUCTION FOR MORE ACCESS. 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/

Grief Processing Group

Hosted by

Kristina Harter

PRICE REDUCED. We are not meant to grieve alone. This is a closed 10-week group for people who have experienced a loss in the recent or distant past, guided by a therapist who encourages self-reflection, expression, and discussion. The focus is on listening to and honoring one another’s stories rather than advice-giving, and on learning tangible healing practices to support the grieving process. Spots are limited so reach out today.
