We offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can express yourself freely, without fear of criticism. Together, we will work through barriers, break unhelpful cycles, and equip you with the tools and support you need to lead a more balanced and fulfilling life.

Eating Disorder Treatment

At Wellrooted Counseling, we provide compassionate, weight-inclusive care for individuals navigating eating disorders, disordered eating, body image concerns, and difficult relationships with food or exercise. Our approach is personalized and rooted in evidence-based treatment, self-compassion, intuitive eating, and Health at Every Size® principles. We’ll work together to understand patterns, build flexibility around food and movement, and help you reconnect with the parts of life that matter beyond the eating disorder. When helpful, we also collaborate with dietitians and medical providers to support the whole person—not just the symptoms.

OCD & Anxiety Treatment

Treatment of obsessive compulsive disorder with Wellrooted Counseling involves evidence based treatment interventions applied on a personalized level. Individuals are supported collaboratively in developing and engaging in exposure and response prevention (E/RP) while addressing other mental health concerns. Therapists are highly trained in developing E/RP to focus on the core fear, assisting the client in developing awareness of any ongoing obsessive compulsive rituals/behaviors, safety behaviors (actions done to reduce anxiety), or accommodations by supports. Therapists are also trained in using other cognitive behavioral therapy approaches, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based treatment. Treatment with youth often incorporates regular family and parent meetings.

Family & Couples Treatment

At Wellrooted Counseling, we offer solution-focused therapy for couples and families designed to break unhelpful communication and behavioral patterns. Blending techniques from the Gottman Method and Emotion-Focused Therapy, we guide family members toward new approaches that foster authenticity, increase mutual understanding, and build sustainable connections. Together, we create a supportive space to deepen connection, navigate challenges more effectively, and enjoy a healthier, more fulfilling family life.
