Telehealth Sessions for Women Anywhere in Colorado
Roots to Rise is a telehealth practice. Every session happens by secure video, wherever you are in Colorado. You meet with us from your own home, in your own chair, with your own tea and your own dog at your feet. That is the design of this practice, not a workaround. There is no waiting room and no drive. No arranging childcare, no burning half a workday on a fifty-minute appointment, and no chance of running into a neighbor in the parking lot. For a woman who is already running on empty, taking those obstacles away is often the difference...... Read The Rest
Support for Exhaustion, Depletion, and Chronic Stress
Burnout rarely arrives all at once. It shows up as a slow flattening. The things that used to matter stop registering, small tasks start costing more than they should, and holding everything together for everyone else begins to take more than you have to give. If you have been running on empty long enough that empty feels normal, that is worth attending to. Not because something is wrong with you, but because a nervous system that has been switched on for years does not switch off on its own. What Burnout Often Looks Like Burnout wears different faces. These are...... Read The Rest
EMDR, Parts Work, and Somatic Approaches
Some experiences do not stay in the past. They get stored, and then something ordinary brings the whole thing back as if no time has passed. A smell. A tone of voice. A room that is too quiet. That is not a character flaw and it is not a failure to move on. It is what a nervous system does to protect itself when something was too much to process at the time. Safety Comes First We do not begin with excavation. If you have been through therapy that pushed you into the hardest material before you were ready, you...... Read The Rest
Working With Worry, Overwhelm, and a Nervous System on Alert
Anxiety is not always the shaking hands and racing heart version. Often it is quieter than that. A running list of what could go wrong. Rehearsing a conversation twelve times before you have it. Checking the door twice, then a third time, because the second one did not count. Whatever shape it takes, anxiety is a nervous system doing its job a little too well. It learned somewhere that staying alert keeps you safe, and nobody has told it the danger passed. How It Tends to Show Up Anxiety looks different from the inside than it does from the outside.......

Support for Women Examining High-Control Belief
Some women arrive here with a set of questions they were never allowed to ask out loud. What was I actually taught about my worth? About my body? About obedience, and who benefited from mine? That examination has a name. Deconstruction is the process of taking apart the beliefs you were handed, looking at each one honestly, and deciding for yourself what you keep. It is not the same as leaving faith, and it has no required destination. Some women rebuild a faith that fits them. Some do not. Both are real results of honest work. What Brings Women to......

Affirming Support for ADHD, Autistic, and Highly Sensitive Clients
If you have spent your life being told you are too much, too sensitive, too scattered, or too intense, you have probably already done an enormous amount of work to seem like less. We start somewhere else. A nervous system that is calibrated differently is information about how you work. It is not a defect to be corrected. Who This Is For We work with women and girls 16 and older whose wiring has been treated as a problem rather than a description. Diagnosed ADHD and Autistic ClientsPeople who already have language for how they work and want a therapist...... Read The Rest
Therapy by Video for Girls 16 and Older
We work with girls 16 and older, by video, anywhere in Colorado. If you are a parent reading this, you have probably already watched your daughter carry something she will not set down. If you are the teenager reading this, you get to decide how much you say and when. Neither of you has to have it figured out before the first conversation. What We Work On Most of what teenage girls bring us falls into a few areas, though it rarely stays neatly in one. Anxiety and OverwhelmSchool, friendships, and a future everyone keeps asking about before you have...... Read The Rest
You do not have to be in crisis to belong here.
Let's start with a conversation.
