As a women-owned practice, we are delighted to celebrate Women’s History Month. While our team is largely female-identified, more and more men are finding their way to us. At the core of our work is helping people hold what often feels divided—strength and vulnerability, boundaries and care, anger and love.

Good therapy requires range.

As Carl Jung wrote, “The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed.”

If you are interested in starting therapy, our team brings skill, curiosity, and care. We nurture and we challenge, and we welcome hearing from you.

One of parents’ biggest challenges is knowing when to step in and when to step back.

In our latest blog, Dr. Brittany Sterling explores how this plays out with ADHD, accommodations, and follow-through—and why getting this balance right can make all the difference.

Before becoming a therapist, Caterina Hill, spent ten years teaching in the Global Health and Social Medicine Department at Harvard Medical School and working with organizations addressing social determinants of health in the U.S., South Africa, and the UK. That background, along with her personal experiences, shapes her commitment to therapy that is inclusive and affirming of all identities, neurotypes, and life experiences, including support for intercultural and in*******al couples and the LGBTQI community.

She is also certified by the American Association for Autism and Neurodivergence as a Couples Therapist for Neurodivergent Couples, and brings together neuroscience, attachment thinking, and trauma-informed therapies including EMDR, DBT, ACT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy within a psychodynamic approach.

We’re glad she’s here.

For many people with ADHD, this isn’t occasional. It’s a daily cycle.

Pressure.
Disappointment.
Hope.

The people we work with are capable, reflective, and carrying more than they let on.

We are here for the complexity, the discomfort, and the depth that lasting change requires.

The ways you learned to cope helped you build a life that works.

They were shaped by what was expected and rewarded, often without much room for need.

Over time, those same strategies can quietly narrow your world and work against what is most ultimately important to you.

Many men arrive in therapy because they are tired of carrying everything alone and want to live a more fulfilling life. They want to know how to be more successful when it comes to their emotions and their relationships.

At 1A Wellness, we work with many thoughtful, capable men who are ready to do this work.

Why is there so much cruelty when kindness matters so much to our well-being?

From an IFS perspective, cruelty is a misguided protective part.

When it takes over, people lose access to Self, seeing the world through the eyes of their part and letting it hijack and take over their thoughts, feelings and actions.

Knowing this helps us choose how we respond.

One focus of IFS therapy is learning how to keep access to Self (staying in our prefrontal cortex ) when we faced with overwhelming circumstances and cruelty within ourselves or others.

Kindness is regulated strength.

Connection is not a luxury. Without it, things unravel. Most of us were never taught how to be open-hearted, skilled com...

Connection is not a luxury. Without it, things unravel. Most of us were never taught how to be open-hearted, skilled communicators and how to stay connected when things get difficult.

Good therapy teaches the skills and creates the conditions for connection.

Think of it as a kind of compassionate bootcamp— a focused place to practice what matters most.

Children continually go through something akin to crises as they grow and develop. And we adults are not so different.

Mid-life is a time that things we have not been able to deal with or integrate come to head.

And it is not unusual to have intense, unexpected feelings like confusion, sadness, anxiety or depression.

These feelings are signals that something needs attention. Parts of you that you had to put aside to launch your adult life, now need your care.

And with the right support, they will inform and enrich the next chapter of your life.

We are here to successfully support you through midlife transitions, so you can land solidly on the other side.

Your relationship has a heartbeat. Can you feel it? Is it racing? Steady? Faint?

It has a nervous system. It holds tension in certain places.

It can get wounded. It can heal.
