About Us

Welcome to Root From the Heart Counseling — where healing begins through connection, compassion, and support. Our licensed and associate clinicians provide evidence-based, trauma-informed care for individuals, couples, and families across Southern Oregon. We help adolescents (14+), adults, and families navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, identity exploration, and life transitions in a safe, LGBTQ+ affirming environment. Our approach is personal and effective, integrating EMDR, FACT, HeartMath, Clinical Hypnosis, Motivational Interviewing, Existential, and Narrative Therapy—tailored to your needs and goals. We value privacy, inclusivity, and genuine care, offering both in-person and telehealth sessions (including evenings) in English, Spanish, and Portuguese. Our mission is simple: to help you heal, grow, and thrive through connection and clinically excellent, culturally responsive care.
