Our Philosophy

Roots and Wings Therapy Collaborative’s vision is in its name.

Roots

To be grounded in what is, one needs to feel rooted. Like the roots of a tree offer a strong foundation from which to grow, a person can be grounded in the reality of their lived experience. And just like trees are impacted by the conditions of the soil in which they live, we as humans are impacted by the conditions of our environments and communities. The intention of Roots and Wings Therapy Collaborative is to help clients feel rooted in themselves and their lives in a way that provides enough stability to foster change.

Wings

To be in relationship to what is possible, one must be open to change. With this possibility, one can soar into the life they want for themself. Like butterflies respond to the wind by changing their flying techniques, one can respond to their conditions with intention and care and move in the direction they want to go. Be it to live a more fulfilling life, to deepen the intimacy and care in a relationship, or to access one’s most authentic self, clients are empowered to grow into the life they dream of.

Therapy

Therapy is commonly known as psychotherapy. The goal, over time, is to grow and incorporate other therapeutic modalities such as sex therapy, art therapy, bodywork, energy work, and more. This will be a place of healing for clinicians and clients alike.

Collaborative

Our nervous systems are wired for connection. Though our culture rewards and encourages hyper-individualism, it is not sustainable for many people. Roots and Wings Therapy Collaborative will be a place for clinicians and clients to collaborate in order to ensure high quality care. Furthermore, clinicians will have opportunities to collaborate with one another to encourage life-long learning and offer the community support we all need. This will be done while maintaining each clinician’s autonomy and agency by supporting them in operating their own private practice within the collaborative.
