"No recovery from trauma is possible without attending to issues of safety, care for the self, reparative connections to other human beings, and a renewed faith in the universe. The therapist’s job is not just to be a witness to this process but to teach the client how" - Dr. Janina Fisher

Body & Creative Work

A Collective Rooted in Authentic Care

“We are four therapists brought together by a shared passion for making mental health care accessible and meaningful. Our journey began in community mental health, working with individuals experiencing high acuity and altered realities. Through close collaboration with crisis providers, we witnessed the power of compassionate, consistent support, and the gaps that still exist in care. This inspired us to create spaces where people can build the skills they need to lead full, empowered lives in recovery.

Together, we are committed to providing thoughtful, trauma-informed therapy rooted in respect, authenticity, and hope” — Kaylee, Taylor, Hannah, Becca, Heather, & Ashley, Your Root + Bloom Team
