Therapy for individuals & relationships in Houston

Orange 'X' symbol on black background.

For the ones who keep it together until they can’t anymore.

Rooted Therapy is where thoughtful, overwhelmed adults come to finally piece together the “why” behind their patterns: the anxiety that never shuts off, the relationships that feel harder than they should, the exhaustion that rest doesn’t fix. We go so much deeper than coping skills. We help you understand yourself so you can actually change your life.
