The work often begins in a moment of transition—burnout, grief, a shift in identity or relationship to self. Many who find this space are helpers, deep feelers, or those who’ve been carrying more than their share for a long time. There’s often a longing to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what’s been quieted. Sessions hold space for meaning-making, nervous system repair, and relational healing. This isn’t about fixing—it’s about returning. To what’s true, what’s needed, and what’s been waiting.
Root Awakenings offers trauma-informed, attachment-based, and acceptance-centered care. Modalities include DBT, CBT, IFS, Gestalt, and MST. Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) is available for deeper integration work. Supervision is offered for interns and associates, with emphasis on parallel process, self-trust, and private practice support.
This is a space for reflection, reconnection, and grounding. Whether in therapy or supervision, the focus is on honoring complexity, moving with intention, and creating space to return to what matters. There’s room here—for all the parts, the unknowns, and the pieces still becoming.
