Groups & Workshops

Some work happens best alongside other people who are in it with you.

Groups at 1A Wellness are small and carefully screened, and each one brings together people working through the same kind of challenge.

Designed to take the progress you’ve made in individual therapy to the next level.

Format: 90-minute sessions, once weekly for 12 weeks — online only
Meets: Monday evenings, 6:30–8:00 pm
Cost: $600 for the 12-week series ($50 per session, payable in three installments). Superbills available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Other groups & workshops

Additional groups — including a group for therapists with ADHD — run periodically as enrollment allows. If something here sounds close but not quite right, tell us what you’re looking for; we often know of a group forming before it’s posted.

Groups are open to people who are not currently clients of the practice.
