THE SHORT ANSWER

What is Kula Wellness Group?

Kula Wellness Group is a trauma-informed therapy and wellness practice in Georgia. We provide individual therapy, child and teen therapy, family therapy, relationship and couples therapy, therapy groups, and workshops, with offices in Decatur and Peachtree Corners and virtual care across Georgia.

Our clinicians use evidence-based and integrative approaches based on training, client needs, and clinical fit. Depending on the therapist, care may include EMDR, IFS-informed work, CBT, DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, nervous-system regulation, somatic and body-based approaches, and relationship-focused care.

Not every clinician uses every modality. We focus on matching people with a therapist whose training, approach, availability, and style make sense for them.

WHAT MAKES KULA DIFFERENT

Care that is clinical, relational, and built around the person in front of us.

We value evidence, training, and strong clinical judgment — and we also believe therapy works best when it stays human, collaborative, individualized, and connected to the realities of your life.

01

Relationship before formula

You are not a protocol. Your therapist brings training and structure while also paying attention to the relationship, your feedback, your goals, and what is actually happening for you.

02

Whole-person care

We make room for thoughts, emotions, the nervous system, relationships, identity, culture, family, work, parenting, health, and the everyday context surrounding your mental health.

03

Thoughtful clinical collaboration

Our therapists do not practice in isolation. When appropriate, clinicians draw on supervision, professional consultation, continuing education, and the knowledge of trusted colleagues while protecting client confidentiality.

04

Fit matters

We do not assume the next available therapist is automatically the right therapist. We consider your needs, preferences, goals, availability, and the clinician's training and areas of focus when helping you find a starting point.

WHAT TRAUMA-INFORMED MEANS AT KULA

Therapy should be something we do with you — not to you.

Trauma-informed care does not mean we assume everyone has trauma, and it does not mean every session is about the past.

It means we understand that experiences can shape how people feel, relate, respond, protect themselves, and move through the world. Because of that, we pay attention to safety, choice, consent, collaboration, pacing, identity, relationships, and the nervous system throughout the therapeutic process.

Your therapist may bring clinical expertise, but you are the expert on your lived experience. When deeper trauma work is appropriate, your therapist considers your goals, readiness, stabilization, and their own training before moving forward.

SafetyEmotional and relational safety matter before depth.
Choice + ConsentYou should understand your options and have a voice in your care.
CollaborationTherapy is a partnership rather than something imposed on you.
PacingGoing deeper is not automatically better or faster.
Context + IdentityYour relationships, culture, identities, and lived experiences matter.
EmpowermentThe goal is greater agency, connection, and capacity in your own life.
OUR BEGINNING What if care made room for the whole person? Amber Amick & Kelly Pierce · Co-Founders
OUR STORY

Built from a gap we kept noticing.

Kula began with a shared frustration: mental health and physical health were often treated like separate conversations, even when people's actual lives made it obvious that they were deeply connected.

As therapists with backgrounds that also included movement and fitness, Amber and Kelly kept seeing people work incredibly hard to feel better — gaining insight, building skills, pushing through — while still feeling as though something important had been left out.

So they started asking a different question: what if therapy could make room for the mind, the nervous system, the body, relationships, identity, and the realities of everyday life at the same time?

Kula grew from that question. What started as a therapy practice has become a broader community of clinicians, educators, and wellness professionals committed to helping people feel more connected to themselves and to one another.

HUMAN-CENTERED CARE · RESPONSIBLE TECHNOLOGY

Therapy for humans, with humans.

The relationship between you and your therapist matters. Kula clinicians rely on their education, clinical training, continuing education, professional experience, consultation, supervision when applicable, and the knowledge of trusted colleagues.

Technology may sometimes be used as a professional resource, but it does not replace clinical judgment, human connection, or the responsibility your therapist has for the care they provide.

H

Your therapist is your therapist.

AI does not independently assess you, diagnose you, decide your treatment, or replace the human clinical relationship.

AI

Client PHI stays out of general AI tools.

If a Kula clinician uses AI as a professional resource, client-identifying protected health information is not entered into that tool.

✎

No AI note taker in your therapy session.

Kula does not use an AI note-taking tool to listen to or generate notes from your therapy session.

↔

Clinicians consult with humans, too.

When clinically appropriate, therapists may seek supervision or professional consultation and collaborate with trusted colleagues while protecting confidentiality.

HOW WE THINK ABOUT HEALING

Whole-person care for real life.

We do not believe people can be reduced to a diagnosis, a symptom, or the hardest thing that has happened to them. Our work keeps the larger picture in view.

◎

Mind

Thoughts, beliefs, memories, meaning, and the stories you have learned to tell about yourself all matter.

≋

Body + Nervous System

Stress and difficult experiences can show up physically. When appropriate, therapy may include awareness of regulation, sensation, breath, or other mind-body experiences.

♡

Relationships

Healing does not happen in isolation. Attachment, family, partnership, community, boundaries, and belonging shape how we experience the world.

⌖

Life

The work has to matter outside the therapy room — in parenting, work, rest, identity, relationships, transitions, and the choices you make every day.

WHY “KULA”?

Kula.

We chose the name Kula because of its association with family, community, and belonging. We also recognize that the word has longstanding meanings and uses in Sanskrit and within South Asian cultural and spiritual traditions.

We use the name with respect — not as a claim to, representation of, or authority on those traditions. For us, it is a reminder of two kinds of connection that guide our work: connection with ourselves and connection with the people and communities around us.

OUR COMMITMENT

You should not have to become less of yourself to belong here.

Kula is committed to creating spaces where people across bodies, identities, cultures, faith traditions, relationship structures, and lived experiences can bring their full humanity into the room.

Cultural humility, curiosity, respect, and willingness to keep learning are part of how we understand ethical care.

OUR MISSION

Creating positive change through self-discovery.

Kula Wellness Group helps people and communities build greater safety, self-understanding, connection, and agency. Through trauma-informed therapy, professional development, education, wellness experiences, and community collaboration, we create spaces where people can better understand themselves, develop meaningful skills, and make intentional choices in their lives.

OUR VISION

What we are building toward.

We envision a world where people feel more connected to themselves, more flexible in how they respond to life, and more empowered to live in alignment with what matters to them. As people grow in self-knowledge and well-being, we hope that change extends outward — into families, relationships, workplaces, communities, and the world around them.

CORE VALUES

What guides the way we work.

Health & Wellness

We think broadly about well-being and make room for the connection between mental health, physical experience, relationships, and everyday life.

Diversity & Belonging

Different perspectives and lived experiences make communities stronger. Respect, inclusion, and cultural humility belong in the work.

Safety + Integrity

Trust matters. We value clear boundaries, ethical practice, collaboration, transparency, and care that respects each person's autonomy.

Self-Embodiment

We want people to know themselves more fully — not simply understand what they “should” do, but feel increasingly able to live in alignment with themselves.

THE KULA METHOD

Self-discovery is not the destination.
It is the beginning of the cycle.

The Kula Method is a framework for how we think about growth — not a rigid treatment protocol and not a promise that change happens in a straight line.

People may move forward, backward, or revisit a phase as life changes, new needs emerge, and deeper layers of understanding become possible.

01

Discovery

Understand

Building safety, awareness, curiosity, and a clearer understanding of yourself, your patterns, and your needs.

02

Development

Practice

Developing regulation, coping, relational, communication, behavioral, and reflective skills that support change.

03

Evolution

Integrate

Experimenting, adapting, and using what you are learning in relationships, work, parenting, community, and everyday life.

04

Endurance

Sustain

Building flexibility, ownership, and patterns that can continue to serve you as circumstances, relationships, and seasons change.

And then the cycle continues.

There is no final arrival point. Self-discovery can open a new cycle of growth for a therapy client, a clinician, a team, a family, or a community.

FINDING THE RIGHT FIT

You do not need to know which therapist or modality you need before you reach out.

We can help you narrow the options. Matching is based on more than a diagnosis: we consider what you are hoping for, age or life stage, scheduling needs, preferences, the kind of support you want, and each clinician's training, focus areas, and availability.

1

Tell us what brings you in.

You can share as much or as little as you are comfortable sharing to get started.

2

We consider the fit.

We look at your needs alongside clinician training, style, availability, and scope.

3

You choose the next step.

A recommendation is a starting point, not a commitment. You still get to decide what feels right.

MEET THE TEAM

The relationship matters.

Therapy is personal. Our clinicians bring different specialties, modalities, personalities, and lived experiences — because there is no single therapist who is right for everyone.

ACCESS + AFFORDABILITY

Cost should not end the conversation.

Kula is a private-pay, out-of-network practice. We know that private-pay therapy is not financially workable for everyone, and we want people to understand their options clearly.

Depending on your situation and availability, options may include superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement, limited reduced-fee scholarship spaces, groups or workshops, and referrals to lower-cost community resources when Kula is not the right financial fit.

CARE SHOULD BE CLEAR

Private pay does not mean you have to navigate everything alone.

We can explain how Kula works, answer questions about superbills and reduced-fee options, and point you toward other resources when possible.

Availability of reduced-fee spaces and outside referrals can change, and outside reimbursement is determined by your insurance plan.

KULA BEYOND THE THERAPY ROOM

A practice — and a growing community.

Therapy is at the center of Kula, but our work also includes education, professional development, community connection, and new ways to support growth.
