How we do therapy
At Nurturing Roots, we believe meaningful healing begins with the nervous system. When your body experiences a sense of safety, your thoughts, emotions, and patterns have the space to shift more naturally. Our approach is grounded in nervous-system-informed care and the principles of Polyvagal Theory, helping you understand your body’s responses to stress and gently work with them, rather than feeling at odds with them.
We integrate evidence-based practices such as EMDR for trauma processing, somatic therapy to support the release of stored tension, and CBT/DBT-informed approaches to build supportive, real-life coping skills. Breathwork, mindfulness, and nature-based options like walk-and-talk therapy invite a sense of grounding, presence, and reconnection.
By thoughtfully weaving these approaches together, we support healing that reaches beyond surface-level coping, creating space for lasting change, deeper self-understanding, and a more steady, connected way of moving through your life.
Therapy That Meets You Where You Are and Grows With You
Therapy at Nurturing Roots is a space where you can exhale, feel understood, and begin to soften out of the patterns you’ve had to hold for so long. Here, you don’t have to have it all figured out or keep pushing through. Grounded in mind-body approaches and trauma-aware care, we move at a pace that honours your nervous system, supporting you whether you’re seeking relief from overwhelm, making sense of long-standing patterns, or learning how to feel more steady in your day-to-day life. Each session blends evidence-based approaches with a warm, attuned presence, helping you build awareness, reconnect with yourself, and create meaningful, lasting shifts that feel sustainable in your real life.

About Individual Therapy
At Nurturing Roots, we walk alongside you—holding space for what you’ve been carrying, and what you’re hoping can change. Our work together goes beyond easing symptoms; we gently tend to the deeper patterns beneath them, so you can experience meaningful, lasting shifts. Therapy here isn’t one-size-fits-all. We take the time to understand what’s been shaping your experience and move at a pace that feels steady, supportive, and safe.
We support young adults, new parents, first responders, and emerging entrepreneurs navigating:
Trauma, Anxiety and Depression
Low Self-Esteem, Stress, Burnout or Sleep Issues
Life Transitions or Relationship challenges
Perinatal and Postpartum Mental Health
This is a space where you can show up as you are without needing to filter, perform, or have it all figured out. A place to feel supported as you begin to feel lighter, more steady, and more connected to yourself.
Children’s Therapy
At Nurturing Roots, we create a safe, supportive space for children to explore and express their feelings while building skills for resilience, confidence, and healthy relationships. We work closely with both children and their families, supporting more open communication, emotional understanding, and a stronger foundation for long-term well-being.
From their very first cries and expressions, children are learning how to communicate their needs and make sense of the world around them. As they grow, those emotions can show up in big ways, meltdowns, withdrawal, frustration, or difficulty expressing what they need. By the time they reach school age, they’re navigating friendships, expectations, and new environments, all while still learning how to understand and regulate their emotions. Emotional development shapes how children see themselves, relate to others, and respond to challenges, and when they’re supported early, it can make all the difference.
Walk & Talk Therapy
Walk and Talk Therapy offers the support of traditional talk therapy, with the added ease of movement and the calming presence of nature. Walking side by side can feel more natural than sitting face-to-face, allowing conversations to unfold with less pressure. The gentle rhythm of movement helps your body soften, release tension, and settle, while fresh air and the quiet of the outdoors create space to think more clearly, process more deeply, and simply breathe.
This approach can be especially supportive if sitting in a room feels heavy or if you notice that being outside helps you feel more grounded and at ease. Together, we can move through experiences like anxiety, low mood, stress, life transitions, or self-esteem challenges, while your nervous system is supported by the environment around you.
And if the weather shifts, your energy feels low, or life feels full on a given day, that’s okay. Walk and Talk Therapy is simply one option we can lean into when it feels supportive, giving you the flexibility to choose what your body needs in the moment.
EMDR Intensives
EMDR Intensives offer a more focused, supportive way to move through trauma, distressing experiences, and the patterns that can quietly keep you feeling stuck. Instead of spacing sessions weeks apart, we work together in longer, dedicated blocks of time, allowing your system to stay with the process, build momentum, and move through layers of healing with greater depth and continuity.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a well-researched, evidence-based approach that supports the brain and body in reprocessing difficult experiences so they no longer carry the same emotional weight. Guided by nervous-system-informed care, EMDR intensives create a steady, contained space to gently work through what’s been heavy to hold, whether it’s a single experience or a build-up over time.
This approach can be especially supportive if you’re wanting to make meaningful progress without feeling like you’re starting and stopping, if you’ve felt stuck despite ongoing therapy, or if something in your life is asking for more focused attention. Many clients leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more settled within themselves, with a deeper sense of ease moving forward.

What do EMDR Intensives look like and how long are they?
EMDR Intensives are extended therapy sessions, usually 2 to 4 hours, that allow for deeper, focused processing in one sitting. They include preparation, EMDR processing at your pace, and integration time so you leave feeling grounded. This format can be especially helpful for addressing specific concerns, processing trauma, or reducing the impact of long-standing triggers more efficiently.
Is therapy covered by my benefits?
Our team includes Registered Social Workers and CRPO-Registered Psychotherapists, and sessions with them are typically covered by most extended healthcare benefit plans.
We do not bill insurance companies directly, but we provide detailed receipts by email upon payment, so you can easily submit them to your provider for reimbursement.
If you’re unsure about your coverage, we encourage you to check with your insurance company before your first session, we’re happy to guide you through what to ask so you feel confident moving forward.
What should I expect for my child’s therapy sessions?
When a child begins therapy at Nurturing Roots, our first priority is to create a safe, welcoming space where they can feel at ease. The first few sessions are focused on building trust and getting to know your child’s unique personality, strengths, and needs.
We use developmentally appropriate approaches, such as play, creative expression, movement, or talking, to help your child share their experiences in a way that feels natural to them. Along the way, we’ll explore what’s been challenging, support them in learning regulation tools, and help them build confidence in navigating their emotions and relationships.
Parents are an important part of the process. You can expect regular check-ins to share insights, celebrate progress, and learn ways to support your child’s growth at home.
