About Healing Roots Therapy
Our Mission
At Healing Roots Therapy, our mission is to provide compassionate and professional counselling services that foster healing and personal growth.
I believe in creating a safe, compassionate space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment. My approach is rooted in empathy, respect, and collaboration. Together, we will explore your unique experiences and develop a plan that helps you move toward the life you envision. Growth looks different for everyone, and I am here to support you in a way that feels right for you.
Our Approach
Curious about what to expect in sessions? I aim to create a safe and affirming space that nurtures self-acceptance, promotes healing, and strengthens the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we’ll explore your goals and support your growth with evidence-based therapy tailored to you.
Integrative Therapy
Integrative therapy draws from a range of therapeutic approaches, customizing treatment to meet each individual’s unique needs. By addressing the mind, body, and emotions, it supports holistic healing, self-discovery, and lasting personal growth, helping you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals.
Solution-Focused Therapy
SFBT is a collaborative strengths-based approach that empowers you to build on your successes to create positive change in the present and the future. It concentrates on solution-building rather than problem-solving and guides you toward achievable goals through small, meaningful steps.
Mindfulness CBT
This approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices to help you manage negative thoughts and emotions. It teaches techniques for staying present, increasing self-awareness, and developing healthier thought patterns for lasting change. This can help improve coping skills to manage stress and anxiety and improve overall well-being.
Person-Centered Therapy
Person-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment where you can explore your feelings and experiences. The counselor offers genuineness, congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding to help you develop self-awareness and make desired changes.
Spiritual and Faith-Based Counseling
Incorporating spiritual beliefs with psychological approaches, this approach provides holistic support for emotional and mental well-being. This is included in sessions upon client invitation.
