Hi there, I’m Nathalie. Life comes with many obstacles. The goal is to enhance one’s coping skills by focusing on one’s strengths and reflect on our emotions. We cannot change certain life events or people’s behaviors however, we can work on our social emotional intelligence and strengthen our self-esteem as part of life’s journey. There are no quick fixes to therapy as it is a process. I help children and adults navigate life’s challenges by targeting short and long term goals with clear measurable objectives. Mental health is similar to physical health which is part of our overall health. Mental health targets our brain health which drives us. I will be your guide to bring out the gifts you already possess. We do our best with what we know as a form of protection to survive. I will provide support and a safe space to address your life’s challenges.

I'm Sherae Green, LMHC, CCTP, founder of Healing Roots Therapy, where I specialize in **trauma, women's mental health, and helping adults navigate life's challenges**. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding ourselves, recognizing how past experiences influence our present, and challenging patterns that no longer serve us. My approach is direct, collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed, balancing compassion with accountability to support lasting growth. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and cultural identity issues. I have a particular passion for supporting women, especially BIPOC women, navigating the intersection of personal experiences, cultural expectations, relationships, and systemic stressors. Whether you're processing painful experiences, feeling overwhelmed, or struggling to reconnect with yourself, I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space to explore your experiences and gain clarity. Recognizing that healing is not one-size-fits-all, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, and attachment-based interventions. Treatment is tailored to your unique needs, with an emphasis on developing self-awareness, strengthening emotional regulation, establishing healthy boundaries, and building practical coping skills. **My approach emphasizes active participation, self-reflection, and personal accountability.** Therapy is more than discussing challenges; it's about understanding underlying patterns, exploring new perspectives, and applying what you learn outside of sessions. I'll support you while also encouraging you to challenge beliefs and behaviors that may be limiting your growth. Ultimately, my goal is to help you move beyond survival mode and build a life rooted in emotional wellness, authenticity, confidence, and empowerment. Healing doesn't mean erasing your past; it means learning to move forward without allowing it to define your future. If you're ready to actively invest in your healing and personal growth, I look forward to working with you.

If you're a millennial or Gen-Z navigating the rollercoaster of life, you're in the right place! This stage of life can feel overwhelming, especially with all the intense emotions, life transitions, and relationship complexities we face. I get it – I've been there too. That's why I specialize in creating a space fostering safety, insight and empowerment to achieve the goals that you're aspiring for. As a relational therapist, I believe that healing happens best through connection and the ability to be your authentic self. Together, in our sessions, we will dig into what's happened in the past and what's going on now, working to uncover how it shows up in your body and your relationships. We'll explore those intense emotions, family dynamics, and complex feelings that you're struggling to understand and communicate. Processing in therapy isn't only verbal, so I enjoy using activities you're interested in to help you feel motivated and grounded. What's important to me is helping you find your way back to yourself and the connections that matter most, with quality time and good company. I enjoy connecting with others through my interests in cooking, baking, and hosting social gatherings. As a fellow creative, culinary arts and photography are additional focuses in my studies aside from mental health. I aspire to help other creatives break through their mental blocks, reconnect with their passions and find inspiration in their craft again!

You may have spent your life showing up for everyone else, navigating spaces where you have to work twice as hard to feel seen. You deserve a space where you don’t have to translate your experience or explain the weight of 'the hustle'—a space where your culture and identity are honored, not just acknowledged. I provide expert, culturally-attuned support through evidence-based therapy to help you work through barriers and live fully. Vulnerability isn’t a weakness; it’s your greatest tool for change. You’ve got the vision—let’s build the path to get you there.
