Rooted in Purpose

Root Therapy is a private practice providing mental health counseling services for adults via telehealth. Root Therapy aspires to provide you with a supportive and empowering space to share your story, dig at your roots and take an honest look at yourself. 

Root Therapy takes a holistic approach rooted in the belief that your relationship with yourself is the foundation on which we build and grow. With guidance and support, we hope you take the time to heal your roots, face your fears and recognize your full potential.

Root Therapy welcomes you wherever you may be on your journey in life.
