Healing happens here. You are not broken—you are becoming.

Welcome to Rooted Psychotherapy, where your healing journey begins in a safe, compassionate space. Life's challenges can leave lasting imprints, but together, we can navigate these experiences toward a path of resilience and peace.

EMDR therapy helps you break free from the weight of past wounds, rewiring your brain to process pain in a new, empowered way. You are not defined by what happened to you—you are the author of your own story. Together, we’ll harness your inner strength, transform hurt into healing, and help you step fully into the powerful, whole person you are meant to be.

What is EMDR therapy?

EMDR therapy gently helps you heal the pain of the past.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma and distressing life experiences, as well as anxiety. It involves recalling traumatic memories while engaging in bilateral stimulation, such as guided eye movements, tapping, or sounds, which helps the brain reprocess these memories and reduce their emotional intensity. EMDR therapy can lead to significant relief from symptoms like anxiety, flashbacks, and emotional distress, fostering resilience and emotional well-being. It is conducted in a safe, supportive environment tailored to the client’s pace and needs.
