Mental Health Therapy

Mental Health Psychotherapy is a widely used practice to help heal psychological distress. The therapists at Rooted Heart Healthcare understand that at times we all experience phases of life that can feel disruptive and overwhelming.

We can find ourselves questioning our decisions and wondering how to take the next step. Even while these experiences are incredibly common they can make us feel deeply isolated. We understand your feelings and are committed to partnering with you to provide personalized and supportive therapy that will help you work towards experiencing change and healing.

We recognize that white supremacy is at work in the field of therapy, from our academic institutions to a mental health system that was created to center white people. We commit to divesting from white supremacy, and creating space for healing and liberation in our therapy practices. This is an active process that involves keeping each other accountable on a regular basis. Therapy is relational, and we work toward anti-oppressive therapeutic relationships by heeding the impact of racism and white supremacy on our Black clients, as well as on ourselves as therapists. Advocacy is integral to therapy, so while part of our work is internal, we are also committing to speaking out for change in our communities and in the mental health field at large. We recognize that we will make mistakes and cause harm, and part of our accountability is learning to do better when that happens.
