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.

Personal healing and collective justice are not separate.

Honoring Dr. King’s legacy today.

We are holding in mind and heart all those who are suffering as a result of extreme polarization, violence and injustice.

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.

When’s the last time you checked in on it?

Our highly trained couples therapists have current openings. Reach us at admin1awellness.com.

Every therapy session is a decision to move toward growth instead of away from it.

That’s what 1A Wellness was built for.

For analytical minds told they think too much.

For couples who want more than coexistence or chronic conflict.

For parents who do not want to repeat their parents’ mistakes

For people who know outward success is not enough on its own.

Life is short. This work matters.

What actually makes a good therapist?

From the perspective of Dr. Kristina Harter, founder of 1A Wellness and the person who recruits therapists to our team, four things tend to matter most:

• A way of thinking grounded in real training—not just opinion
• Genuine presence and engagement
• Practical skills that help you feel less stuck
• Real care and investment in your growth

You shouldn’t need months to know if it’s a fit.
You should leave the first session thinking: Yes—we can get somewhere together.

Good therapy is thoughtful, active, and human.
Don’t settle for less.

The problems that bring people to therapy often look insurmountable from the bottom. The relationship patterns, the anxiety, the parts of you that seem incompatible with each other.

Then you do the actual work of understanding them and you realize they were always just human-sized. The mountain was real, but so was your capacity to climb it.

That shift in perspective? That’s what we’re after.

Some experiences process quickly. Others sit heavy, taking weeks or months to break down into something you can make use of.

It is easy to keep consuming (new projects, new goals, new stimulation) before the
last ones have been fully metabolized.

Just as your body can’t rush nutrition. Neither can your life rush meaning.

A full life still needs room for discernment.
We are here if you need us.

After the holidays, emotions can surface in unexpected ways. Nothing
needs to be solved right away.

Sometimes what helps most is having space to just notice and accept
what’s there.

Good therapy helps you make sense of what emerges and use it for good.

Gottman’s research confirms this: successful couples learn to accept
perpetual differences rather than trying to change them. The
alternative—contempt masquerading as tolerance—is one of the strongest
predictors of relationship failure. Acceptance is not settling. It’s
seeing clearly and choosing anyway.

We were so sad to learn that Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were
tragically killed this month. He was a master of the love story and he
got it right about what holds relationships together.

We can too easily mistake motion for progress. But the body knows what the mind resists: clarity requires time.

The best decisions often begin by pausing long enough to listen.

What are you avoiding by staying busy?

You can love your family and not like them all the time. Especially during the holidays.

Feeling irritated, distant, or overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong with your relationships. It means you’re human, close, and under pressure.

Therapy can be a place to talk about the parts you’re not proud of and make sense of emotional reactions.

If this resonates, support is available.

There are some losses that you will never receive a condolence card for.

For relationships that ended.

For betrayals.

For the version of yourself you used to be.

For family connections that shifted or disappeared.

You are not imagining it. And you are not alone. If the holidays feel complicated this year, therapy can help you make space for all of it.
