Hey, You Made It — Welcome to Rooted Psychotherapy 🌱

Whether this is your first time here or you’re circling back—welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Rachel, the therapist behind Rooted Psychotherapy, and I help people work through trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, OCD, life transitions—you name it—with a healthy mix of compassion, realness, and science-backed techniques like EMDR therapy.

Here’s what you should know before we go any further:
🧠 Therapy isn't just for crisis—it’s for curiosity, growth, and getting unstuck.
🌈 EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful tool that helps the brain reprocess painful memories—kind of like emotional composting.
🥊 Fun fact about me: I train in Muay Thai (and have even competed!), and it’s one of the greatest teachers I’ve had. It’s taught me about patience, the mind-body connection, and how the body holds—and can release—trauma. Plus, the community is incredible.

Rooted Psychotherapy was created to be a space where healing feels possible—not forced, not rushed, not picture-perfect. Just real, steady growth. Every week on this blog, I’ll share thoughts, tools, and reflections on mental health, the therapy process, and how we can all live a little more rooted.

So take a breath. Settle in. Let’s grow something good.
