We work with adults in Ohio and Washington who are living with C-PTSD, childhood trauma, emotional neglect, anxiety, relationship issues, and burnout. Most of our clients have tried therapy before. It felt too surface-level. We get that. We're the practice for people who need a therapist who actually understands how trauma lives in your nervous system and shows up in your relationships. We also specialize in religious trauma, faith deconstruction, and purity culture recovery. No agenda, no pressure to land anywhere. Root Counseling is husband-and-wife-owned. Four licensed therapists. Cash-pay only. All virtual.
EMDR. Attachment-focused therapy. Nervous system work. No cookie-cutter worksheets. We specialize in C-PTSD, developmental trauma, insecure attachment, religious trauma, faith deconstruction, purity culture recovery, anxiety, codependency, and burnout. We don't start with a diagnosis. We start with what's happening in your life, your body, your relationships
Most people sit on calling a therapist for months. That's okay. Whenever you're ready, we offer a free 15-minute consult where you can ask us anything and figure out if we're the right fit for you.

We work with adults facing C-PTSD, childhood trauma, religious trauma, anxiety, and repeating relationship patterns. Treatment typically starts with an assessment, then blends EMDR, attachment-focused, and nervous system-based approaches tailored to your history. Most clients notice reduced anxiety and steadier relationships within two to three months, with lasting resilience beyond that.
