Danielle Thurman (Roots and Wings Family Therapy) (She/Her)
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Our goal is to get you in and out of therapy as quickly as possible. As a client, I spent 15 years in therapy trying to figure out why I was still stuck. I now have these answers and would love to share them with you. Our goal is to build skills in therapy that you can take outside of therapy to get the life you've always wanted.

Treatment Approach
- Art Therapy Uses creative activities like drawing, painting, or sculpture as a way to express emotions. It is especially helpful when words are hard to find.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Experiential Therapy Involves hands-on activities to bring emotions into the present moment. It helps clients process feelings more deeply than through conversation alone.
- Family Systems Therapy Looks at problems within the context of the family as a whole. It aims to improve communication and balance in family relationships.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Play Therapy Uses toys, games, and creative play to help children express emotions. It is especially useful when children can’t fully verbalize their feelings.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: Our main focus is Emotionally Focused Therapy, which has the most studied and best chances for success. I also pull a lot from other models to add other skills that can help EFT be even more effective.

We help the clients who have had a hard time progressing in therapy. What makes us unique is that we can use family systems theory and attachment theory to find the root cause instead of just treat symptoms. You will be able to feel the result in session and then take what you learned outside of therapy to see results.
