Therapy can be helpful for many different ​challenges. For some, therapy can be useful to

process grief, shame, or loneliness, while others ​might want to process occurrences from their past ​or to help learn about who they are.


Regardless of what brings you into therapy,

Rooted Bloom Therapy creates a space for growth,

connection, and learning to help negotiate ​whatever life puts in your path.

Rooted Bloom Therapy specializes in evidenced-​based psychotherapy techniques.


Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) ​builds upon your unique strengths to help navigate ​life in alignment with your values. ACT brings ​new skills to connect with the present moment, ​respond to challenges, and open up around painful ​feelings. ACT helps provide clients with a plan ​and a pathway to thrive.

Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) ​is a type of therapy that uses physical techniques to ​help process and overcome trauma and distressing ​memories. This approach reviews past experiences and ​provides new ways to evaluate and respond to negative ​events. Clients use EMDR for recovery from phobias, ​fears, and childhood trauma to create a positive path ​forward.

Common topics that bring people into therapy:
