Sometimes sh*t happens. And It can be an overwhelming decision to ask for help, especially when contacting a stranger. What happens when the story I have for my life doesn’t go as planned? My dream job isn’t bringing the fulfillment I thought it would. I envisioned myself fully showing up in this world, but now my trauma leaves me powerless beneath my anxiety and depression. I identified with a religion that once gave me freedom, but now it leaves me in bondage. My family was once a safe haven, but now dad is drinking too much and everything I knew is gone.

I work with clients facing a spectrum of challenges, including trauma, panic, OCD, anxiety, stress, acute and chronic illness, chronic pain, and relationship issues. My therapeutic approach is rooted in a somatic and embodiment lens, recognizing the interconnectedness of body and mind in the healing process. I help people break out of old patterns and bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Through gaining greater self-awareness, healing wounds, and building skills you can overcome blocks to living your most liberated and authentic life.

Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, or relationship dissatisfaction? Do you feel yourself burning out in your personal or professional life?

My clients are from various backgrounds who willingly and actively engage in their own healing journey. I seek to create an environment in my practice that allows a healthy therapeutic relationship. Clients who come to see me can expect compassion, respect, and professionalism.

Greetings, I'm Roosevelt Bell Owner of Roosevelt's Health Care LLC. Often life shows up in forms and ways we barely recognize, in those times it's hard to see your way out or through.

If you are ready to face yourself, then you are ready to be the best you are meant to be! Fresh beginnings are a call or message away.......

I am a licensed psychologist who believes we are doing the best we can with the tools we currently have to navigate life's challenges. Sometimes the tools we have either stop working or we realize the tools are having negative consequences to us. My style involves taking an active, collaborative, and compassionate approach in creating a safe environment to discuss difficult topics you are dealing with.

You may be feeling stressed because of changes happening in your life. At night you replay (multiple times!?!?) all that happened that day, and wonder if you said or did the right thing. This has you feeling exhausted, sad, lonely, or worried, and you realize you have nothing left in your tank. You want to feel better, but you’re unsure where to start. You’ve come to the right place. Together we will pinpoint how the past and present are stopping you from reaching your goals. I bring over two decades of experience and will help you clarify issues and assist you in developing a path to greater life satisfaction.

You’ve reached your limit. You know that something has got to change, and you're beyond ready for some relief, but deciding where to start feels like a moving target. You’ve read about attachment styles and emotional dysregulation and most of it makes sense in theory, but things aren’t actually changing. You find that you still react to stress and conflict in ways that you don’t fully understand, which often results in being misunderstood and second guessing yourself. Half the time you don't even know what your actual feelings and needs are so... um, how are you supposed to effectively communicate these things to another human?
