Modalities & Approach
At Inner Root Counseling & Wellness, care is grounded in the belief that healing is multidimensional; shaped by the mind, body, nervous system, relationships, and lived experience. Our work is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapy while thoughtfully integrating somatic, mindfulness, and holistic practices to support deeper, more sustainable healing.
All therapeutic services are provided by a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200), ensuring care that is both clinically sound and embodied, trauma-informed, and ethically grounded.
An Integrated, Ethical, Whole-Person Approach
All practices at Inner Root Counseling & Wellness are guided by ethical standards, clinical training, and a commitment to client autonomy. Modalities are integrated thoughtfully and collaboratively; always centered on what feels supportive, safe, and aligned for each individual.
Healing here is not about fixing. It is about reconnecting, resourcing, and growing from the inside out.
Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy
Our therapy is deeply trauma-informed, meaning we prioritize safety, consent, choice, collaboration, and empowerment in every session. We understand trauma as something that lives not only in thoughts and memories, but in the nervous system and body. Therapy is paced intentionally, honoring each client’s readiness and capacity to engage in treatment during the whole process.
We support clients navigating:
- Trauma and complex trauma responses
- Anxiety and chronic stress
- Identity exploration and life transitions
- Relationship and attachment challenges
- Burnout, anxiety, depression, and emotional regulation
Person-Centered & Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Our approach is person-centered, emphasizing the client as the expert of their own experience. Therapy is collaborative, non-pathologizing, and grounded in unconditional positive regard. We work to create a space where clients feel deeply seen, respected, and supported. The mind-body connection is so important!
Mindfulness-based therapy is woven throughout our work, supporting clients in cultivating present-moment awareness, emotional insight, and self-compassion. These practices help clients build a stronger relationship with their inner experience while reducing reactivity and stress.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming & Gender-Affirming Care
We offer LGBTQIA+ affirming and gender-affirming therapy, honoring the full spectrum of sexual orientations, gender identities, and relationship structures. Care is inclusive, culturally responsive, and rooted in respect for each client’s lived experience. This is a safe space to be yourself with no exceptions.
We support clients with:
- Identity exploration and self-acceptance
- Gender affirmation and transition-related care
- Minority stress and systemic trauma
- Relationship and family dynamics
- Navigating visibility, boundaries, and belonging
Somatic Therapy & Trauma-Informed Yoga
As a licensed therapist and registered yoga teacher, we integrate somatic therapy and trauma-informed yoga into clinical work when appropriate. These practices support nervous system regulation, embodiment, and emotional processing through gentle, invitational movement and awareness. This modality can be a part of the therapeutic practice, or just an individualized yoga session to meet your current needs!
Somatic and yoga-informed practices may include:
- Breath work and grounding techniques
- Gentle, accessible movement
- Body-based awareness and interoception
- Restorative and trauma-sensitive yoga practices
No prior yoga experience is required, and all practices are adapted to meet each client’s comfort level and needs.
Couples Counseling
We offer couples counseling that integrates evidence-based therapeutic models with attachment-informed and LGBTQIA+ affirming practices. We help partners identify relational patterns, increase emotional awareness, and develop more effective ways of expressing needs, boundaries, and vulnerability. It is not about assigning blame or “fixing” one partner, but rather cultivating understanding, safety, and intentional connection. Together, we work to help partners feel more grounded, seen, and supported.
Sessions may focus on:
- Improving communication and conflict navigation
- Pre-marital, long-term, or trauma-affected couples
- Understanding attachment styles and relational dynamics
- Rebuilding trust after rupture or disconnection
- Strengthening emotional intimacy and connection
- Navigating transitions, stress, or identity changes
- Navigating visibility, boundaries, and belonging
Energy Work & Integrative Practices
Energy-based practices are offered as adjunctive, client-led supports within a holistic framework. These practices are grounded in mindfulness, intention, and somatic awareness; but are never a substitute for psychotherapy or medical care.
Energy work may be used to support:
- Relaxation and stress reduction
- Emotional grounding and integration
- Increased body awareness
- Personal reflection and insight
Tarot as a Reflective Tool
Tarot is offered as a reflective and symbolic tool, not as fortune-telling or predictive guidance. Within a therapeutic context, tarot can support self-exploration, meaning-making, and intuitive insight. It is used only with client consent and framed as a creative modality for reflection, not diagnosis or treatment.
Tarot may support:
- Exploring internal narratives and patterns
- Gaining perspective during transitions
- Deepening self-awareness and intuition
- Facilitating discussion and insight
