Discover a safe path to healing with compassionate, trauma-informed counseling.
Hi, I’m kaitlyn.
In a world where trauma often feels overwhelming, Rooted Resilience Counseling emerged from a deep personal commitment to healing. Founded in 2017, this sanctuary was built with the intention of providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals grappling with the profound scars of trauma and PTSD. The founder, Kaitlyn, is a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT), who has witnessed the pain that unresolved trauma can inflict. In its years of serving trauma survivors, we have discovered a vital truth - healing begins with a need for safety and ends with a stronger sense of resilience.
Recognizing the essential need for establishing a sense of internal safety, Kaitlyn trained extensively in somatic techniques, nervous system care, and the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy model. Rooted Resilience Counseling’s unique approach to treatment is committed to understanding how our nervous system responds to, and heals from trauma. Clients often come in feeling disconnected from their own bodies, burdened by memories and emotions that feel insurmountable. With compassion at the core of this practice, Rooted Resilience Counseling provides the tools necessary to navigate the emotional labyrinth that is trauma.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
IFS is a therapeutic model that guides you in a compassionate way towards what IFS calls "Core Self.” This is our purest essence, that occasionally gets covered up by the external gunk of the world that we have been conditioned by. To connect with “Core Self” is the sacred experience of connecting with the essence of your truest self. IFS guides us to form a loving relationship with the parts and blocks that we deem most frustrating. Where forcing and/or avoidance have kept you stuck, IFS allows for true release of emotional suffering. It is in this very softening that a new strength can be re-established. IFS is all about connecting with and listening to our bodies & hearts, so that we can experience healing.
Over the past eight years, numerous clients have transformed their stories of disempowerment into narratives of hope and relief. With experiences of profound emotional unburdening, they are then free to embrace life with a newfound strength. The evidence of success is clear - clients feel equipped to face their emotional discomfort, and leave instilled with the belief that healing is not just possible, but attainable.
In the many interactions with my clients over the years, I have learned that only talking about our emotional pain and suffering can sometimes leave us stuck, or even more emotionally overwhelmed. I knew it would take more than just mental and verbal processing to get my clients to the results they were longing for - true emotional release and deep inner healing. I love integrating IFS into my work in order to offer clients a more embodied somatic approach to growth and healing.
At Rooted Resilience Counseling, it’s believed that every individual’s story is unique. Somatic wellness techniques and IFS therapy creates a structure for healing while still honoring the distinct needs and treatment goals of each client.
