Rooted Bloom Therapy
Reengage and Invigorate your life
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:
Trauma & Pain
Anxiety & Depression
Identity Exploration
Life Transitions
Rooted Bloom Therapy provides an open and accepting environment for
everyone. We are anti-racist and inclusive of everyone's lived experiences. We ​believe clients are always the experts of their lives.
