Heart Rooted Counseling

Heart Rooted Counseling is a mental health counseling practice in Bedford, Ohio. The practice offers individual therapy, couples therapy, and parenting with child therapy, and it now offers Deep Brain Reorienting. The therapist is an independently licensed social worker (LISW) with more than 30 years in the mental health profession, and has worked with children, adolescents, and adults in foster care, community and school-based child and family counseling, and as a project manager and psychometrician in clinical research at the Cincinnati Veterans Affairs Administration. The work is strength-based and trauma-informed, with a holistic view of treatment for body, mind, and spirit.

Sessions draw on the Healing Our Core Issues (HOCI) Model and Developmental and Relational Trauma Therapy (DARTT), which use mindfulness, attachment theory, somatic awareness, and neurobiology. The practice also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), bilateral stimulation that can relieve physical and emotional symptoms tied to events such as accidents, harm, or loss, and can reduce anxiety about future events like athletic or academic performance. The therapist is DBT trained and provides psychoeducation and homework for practicing DBT skills. Neurofeedback uses a personalized EEG protocol to train the brain toward states associated with a client's goals, and is used for anxiety, depression, ADHD, sleep, chronic pain, and TBI. Deep Brain Reorienting tracks subtle bodily sensations rather than retelling painful experiences.

The practice is on Deerfield Road. It holds a rating of 5.00 from 2 reviews, reflecting a positive rating from the customers who have reviewed it.
