We’re Rooted Counseling.

We provide psychotherapy for children, teens, adults, and families who are ready for restorative support.

Our goal is for you to feel seen and understood, and for us to work together towards healing.

Welcome.

We offer therapy to those in Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Granite Bay, and the surrounding areas such as Roseville, Rocklin, Loomis and Sacramento.

We are accepting new clients for in-person therapy in Folsom and online therapy for all California residents.

Rooted (ˈruːtɪd):

Very strong and firmly fixed; to establish deeply.

...the work of our heart. The work of taking time to listen, to live our values, to love well, is also our gift to the whole of the world

Heather Peterson, LMFT & Founder

As a psychotherapist, I believe in the importance of treating the whole person—which includes mind, body, and soul. I’ll help you discover what roots you and your family. We’ll then use that as a guide for healing.

If life has left you feeling emotionally exhausted, worried about your child or family, or simply just overwhelmed with how to care for yourself and you wonder if life should feel somehow better or happier, you’re not alone. Now more than ever, people are needing support with prioritizing and caring for not only their children’s mental health, but their own.

Throughout my career, I have helped people navigate various challenges in life. My areas of expertise include:

  • Trauma

  • Attachment

  • Children + teens (including play, art and sand tray therapy)

  • Parenting support and guidance

  • Women's issues

  • Self-esteem

  • Identity and purpose searching

  • General life transitions

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Christian counseling

My work includes supporting children, teens, adults and families. As a wife and mom of two, I understand the need for a place that's just yours as well as the importance of supporting the whole family. When our lives are not reflective of what’s truly important to us, as humans we tend to feel off balance and out of alignment. This shows up as anxiety, depression, among other things.

Much of my therapy with children also includes family therapy as I view parents and families as an integral part of treatment. When working with adults, the work tends to be longer term. I use an attachment and values based lens, to get to the core of what my clients are struggling with in order to create new, healthier patterns.

We’re all grieving something. Finding yourself here likely means that the struggle has become very difficult. I believe you’re here for a reason and our paths have crossed by no happenstance. I can help you start loving your life again by understanding yourself and connecting with your loved ones more fully. I’m so glad you’re here, you’re not alone… there’s hope!
