Resilient Minds, Rooted Growth

Supporting Mental Health with Strength and Stability

At the core of our practice is a commitment to compassionate, patient-centered care. We understand that mental health is deeply personal, and each individual’s journey is unique. That’s why our approach is designed to be collaborative, empowering, and flexible, ensuring that your voice is central to every step of your treatment. 

We specialize in psychiatric medication management and brief supportive therapy for mood, anxiety, attention, and trauma-related disorders, including depression, bipolar disorder, OCD, GAD, social anxiety, panic disorder, ADHD, and PTSD.

We provide compassionate psychiatric care for adults aged 16 and up, with specialized support for women during pregnancy and the perinatal period. We recognize the unique challenges that can arise during these transitions and are here to help you feel supported and heard. Rooted Willow Psychiatry is proud to be an LGBTQIA+ affirming practice 🌈—all identities are welcome here.
