About Us

Authentic Roots Therapy is a collective of licensed, independent therapists who share one mission: to create a safe, affirming, and inclusive space for all.

Our Story

Authentic Roots Therapy was founded on the belief that everyone deserves a space to be fully seen, fully known, and fully loved.

We bring together independent, licensed therapists who share a passion for guiding others toward authentic healing and personal growth.

Our mission is simple: to help you reconnect with your true self—without shame, fear, or judgment.

Authentic Roots Therapy

Healing Begins Where You Are

​We approach therapy through empathy, curiosity, and evidence-based care.

Each person's story is unique, and our therapists tailor their approach to your specific needs whether through mindfulness, trauma-informed work, or relational insight.

Here, we meet you where you are, not where you're "supposed to be."

A Place to Feel Grounded

Our Minneapolis office is designed to feel warm, calm, and safe inviting you to settle in and breathe.

From soft light to natural textures, every element was chosen to reflect peace and belonging.

We also offer secure, HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions for those who prefer to connect from home.

Our Commitment

​We are committed to inclusion, compassion, and integrity.

Our doors are open to every identity, belief, and background—because healing is for everyone.

We believe that everyone deserves a seat at the table and the chance to be fully known.

We specialize in working with children, couples, families, LGBTQIA+ individuals, individuals who are questioning, curious, transitioning, or identifying as transgender/non-binary, mothers in postpartum, faith communities(integration, deconstruction or reconstruction), individuals experiencing traumatic symptomatology, highly sensitive men and more. In addition, at Authentic Roots it is a value of ours that we work to create a safe space for all!
