Healing Isn’t Linear

It’s a Spiral

Healing rarely moves in a straight line. We return to familiar patterns, emotions or memories—not because we’re failing, but because as safety grows, our nervous system allows us to revisit experiences from new vantage points. Each pass through the spiral offers new understanding and choice, because we’re able to meet these moments with more awareness, support and capacity than before. At Rooted Therapy, we meet you in these cycles, and will hold the torch of hope for you when it feels heavy to carry alone.

Virtual Therapy Serving New Yorkers

At Rooted Therapy, we work with people who have learned to put others first, hold themselves to high standards, and keep going even when it costs them. You may be intuitive and self-aware, yet find yourself stuck in familiar patterns of self-doubt, burnout, perfectionism, or feeling like you’re somehow falling short.

Our virtual practice, based in New York, supports sensitive people who are ready to break longstanding patterns and create relationships that feel less effortful and more secure. Drawing from psychodynamic psychotherapy, EMDR, and integrative somatic parts work, we help you release what’s old, reclaim your voice, and build a more trusting relationship with yourself and others.

A space for all identities. We welcome and affirm people of all races, genders, sexualities, and bodies, and practice from a decolonial, anti-oppressive framework. Unapologetically inclusive mental health care for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+ and allies alike.
