OUR COMMUNITY

Rooted Recovery & Wellness is a values-based, mission-driven team of health professionals committed to working together as a community. We believe that healthy connection and belonging are essential to the healing process. Together, we not only model this for our clients but also foster it through a community-based treatment approach and a culture of collaborative learning and support for providers.


We are a practice rooted in the belief that our strength lies in connection-and that through compassionate, intentional relationships grounded in values-aligned behavior, individuals can uproot patterns that no longer serve them and root themselves in more workable, life-giving ways. Our team specializes in supporting individuals navigating complex mental health concerns, including those commonly associated with eating disorders and disordered eating, within a community-forward treatment model.

The Rooted Recovery & Wellness community is dedicated to providing accessible, affordable and effective treatment to all. As part of this commitment, all therapists in our community offer live video teletherapy sessions to ensure accessible and consistent care.
