Treatment Approach
- 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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Hypnotherapy Uses guided relaxation and focus to access the subconscious mind. It is often used for habits, anxiety, and pain management.
- Imago Relationship Therapy Helps couples understand how childhood experiences influence adult relationships. It teaches communication techniques to deepen connection.
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Motivational Interviewing (MI) A collaborative, client-centered approach that strengthens motivation for change. It is especially effective for addictions and health behaviors.
Approach Description: At Root & Rise, our approach is direct, relational, and deeply intentional. We focus on understanding the root causes of your patterns—emotionally, mentally, and behaviorally—so you can create real, sustainable change rather than temporary relief. Our clinicians blend evidence-based modalities with trauma-informed care and a warm, grounded style that helps you feel supported while still being challenged to grow. We look at the whole picture: your history, your nervous system, your environment, your identity, and the beliefs you carry. Therapy with us is collaborative, honest, and designed to help you rise into a more aligned, self-aware version of yourself.

Root & Rise Clinical Specialists offers both online and in-person therapy designed to meet you exactly where you are — literally and emotionally. We provide secure teletherapy for clients across New York, Florida, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, as well as in-person sessions at our New York and Florida locations for those who prefer a face-to-face experience. Our practice is built on the belief that therapy should be accessible, clinically strong, and genuinely supportive, no matter the format.
Clients come to us when they’re ready to understand themselves more clearly and move through the patterns that keep showing up in their lives. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, burnout, trauma, relationship struggles, identity exploration, or major transitions, our clinicians offer a grounded, thoughtful, and straightforward style of care. We focus on helping you uncover the root of what’s going on — not just managing symptoms — so you can make meaningful and lasting change.
Our online sessions provide flexibility and consistency for people with demanding schedules, travel, or a preference for privacy, while our in-person appointments offer the option for deeper connection and a dedicated space to slow down. Both formats deliver the same level of depth, attunement, and clinical expertise our practice is known for.
Root & Rise is a place for honest conversations, real growth, and support that actually fits your life. If you’re ready to feel more aligned, grounded, and capable of moving forward, we’d be glad to help you begin.
