Individual Therapy
Depth-oriented individual therapy for adults — anxiety, depression, and the relationship patterns that keep reasserting themselves no matter how much you understand them.
One-on-one psychotherapyYou’ve probably already spent a lot of time trying to understand what’s going on. Maybe you’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, talked it through with people you trust. You may have thought carefully about why things feel so hard. And yet here you are, in it again.
That’s not a failure of intelligence or effort. It’s a signal that something deeper is running the show — something thinking alone can’t reach. That’s what therapy at this level is actually for.
What these clients share is a readiness for something to change, and the willingness to do the work that change requires.
Individual therapy gives you someone in your corner who is not inside your life. You do not have to protect, impress, reassure, or manage anyone else. You can bring what you edit out everywhere else.
Every season of life brings a new challenge, a chance to grow, and an accompanying crisis that needs to be resolved. People seek therapy when they hit a problem they cannot solve and find themselves stuck in an unhealthy pattern, situation, or relationship.
Over time, there is a growing understanding that time is a limited and precious resource. People often seek therapy during periods of significant change — the birth of a baby, the loss of a parent, an unexpected divorce. At 1A Wellness, we provide the support and skilled guidance needed to resolve these crises and move forward to become more of who you essentially are.
IFS, psychodynamic therapy, EFT, EMDR, the Gottman Method — what they are, how they work, and when we use them.
Explore our approaches →The therapy field has expanded rapidly. That’s mostly good — but it also means significant variation in the quality of training, the depth of clinical experience, and the ability to navigate complexity. Our clinicians trained at programs that select for the best: UNC Chapel Hill, Harvard Medical School, Smith College, Temple University, Boston College, Cambridge Health Alliance, and the Harvard Program for Psychotherapy — one of the most competitive postdoctoral fellowships in New England.
That training matters not because credentials are the point, but because the work you’ll do here requires a clinician who has seen a lot, knows a lot, and has developed the judgment that only comes from years of difficult work with difficult material. You wouldn’t choose a surgeon based on price and availability. The same logic applies here.
Individual therapy at 1A Wellness addresses a wide range of concerns. What unites them is that almost all of it, at the root, comes back to relationships — with other people, and with yourself.
Therapy for men at 1A looks different from what most people expect. Direct, purposeful, and invested in exploring what’s behind the rut, while remaining focused on getting you unstuck from it.
