Our Philosophy
At Root to Rise Counseling and Wellness, we are deeply committed to your well-being and approach each client with genuine curiosity, care, and compassion.
Being human is complicated and comes with its own unique challenges and stressors. Our team creates a supportive space to explore these complexities at your own pace. We center what’s important to you throughout the counseling experience, creating a personalized process that acknowledges your voice, your comfort, your limits, and your feelings.
While we may focus on specific goals in our work together, our deeper intention is to support you in developing a steady connection to your own truth. Rooted in your truth and what is important to you, you can rise with resilience and move through challenges with self-confidence and self-trust.
How We Support You
We meet you where you are with evidence-based approaches rooted in compassion, collaboration, and genuine curiosity about your experience. Our team draws on multiple therapeutic modalities, adapting to what will support you most. Above all, we are trauma informed
Mental Health & Emotional Well-Being
Anxiety & Depression Therapy
We use cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness-based approaches to help you untangle worries and what-if’s to understand patterns of low mood, and build steadier ways of coping. These techniques are practical, evidence-based, and designed to give you tools you can use immediately.
Trauma, CPTSD & PTSD Therapy
Trauma erodes your sense of choice. Trauma-informed and trauma-driven care has the potential to restore it — by centering your agency, your voice, and what matters most to you, every step of the way.
We honor the depth and complexity trauma can leave behind. The anger, resentment, grief, pain, shame, guilt, and self-blame tangled up inside it can feel like more than anyone should have to carry alone. Let’s carry it together — and work toward clarity, resilience, and a way forward.
Through integrative approaches tailored to what you’ve lived, we help you understand the impact trauma has had and begin to shift it — so you can move forward rooted in clarity, purpose, and focus.
Grief & Loss Counseling
Loss doesn’t follow a timeline. We create space to process death, estrangement, endings, and the losses that go unnamed—using relational approaches that honor how connection shapes our healing.
Stress, Burnout & Life Transitions
We use person-centered and practical approaches to help you navigate career changes, identity shifts, caregiving, and seasons that ask more than you have. The work is collaborative, insight-driven, and grounded in your values.
Support for Families, Relationships & Parenting
Counseling for Parents
Parents are often the steadiest presence in everyone else’s life—and the most depleted. We use relational approaches to help you reconnect with yourself, find presence in hard moments, and build sustainable ways of showing up for your family.
Family & Teen Counseling
Families navigate conflict, big feelings, and transitions best together. We create collaborative space for improved communication, limit awareness and boundary-setting, and understanding how each person’s experience shapes the whole system.
Body-Based & Specialized Support
Trauma-Informed Yoga
A somatic practice that strengthens your mind-body connection and teaches you how to listen to and respond to what your body is communicating. Therapeutic value that extends well past the mat.
Substance Use & Addiction Counseling
When substance use is entangled with anxiety, depression, trauma, or family stress, we offer psychotherapy that explores the deeper “why” alongside practical skill-building. When substance use or chemical dependency is the primary concern, we provide structured, evidence-based LCDC services—relapse prevention, coping strategies, motivation-building, and harm reduction—with concrete tools for sustainable recovery.
