Take Root Therapy July Newsletter

We talk about supporting teens through social struggles, clean up West Hollywood, and learn about coffin-lying. A Letter From Our Founder Dear reader, I am writing to you from a hotel bed, while on a trip to visit family. These trips usually serve as a reset button for me.

Take Root Therapy June Newsletter

We learn about trauma-informed therapy, visit the Los Angeles community fridges, and avoid awkward small talk. A Letter From Our Founder Dear reader, Summer in Los Angeles is officially here (or it will be this weekend), and the sun is not messing around.

Take Root Therapy May Newsletter

We learn to be curious about our anger, revamp Pershing Square, and get ready for Love Island. A Letter From Our Founder Dear reader, May has been a lot. I don’t mean that dramatically, I mean it in the way that parents of school-age children will probably recognize immediately. The end of the year requests, the performances, the parties, the feelings. All of it landing…

Take Root Therapy April Newsletter

We talk about forgiveness, volunteer with the LGBT Center, and learn how to create emotional boundaries in relationships. A Letter From Our Founder Dear reader, I just returned from two weeks away with my family, and it was exactly what I needed. Time that moved slowly. Books that I read from start to finish.

We discuss why therapy works for chronic pain, make candles with CHIRLA, and learn about the benefits of daydreaming.

Take Root Therapy February Newsletter

We learn about EMDR, mentor our youth, and develop skills for unwinding after work. A Letter From Our Founder Hi there, We made it through another month. Maybe you celebrated Valentine’s Day, maybe you let it pass quietly. The Lunar New Year came and went too (I celebrated, and I’m holding onto the hope that it means some good change is on the way). And…

Take Root Therapy January Newsletter

We talk about emotion dysregulation, raise funds for our beloved immigrant communities, and learn tools for soothing nighttime anxiety. A Letter From Our Founder Hi reader, It’s hard to know where to start this letter. I feel myself being pulled in so many directions, and that’s become more and more common these days. I want to offer you comfort and hope. I want to sit…

Take Root Therapy December Newsletter

We explore the link between emotional spending and mental health, give back in Venice, and consider how to skip the holidays altogether. A Letter From Our Founder Hi there, I wish I could sit across from you and ask how you’re feeling, really feeling, right now. Because this month has been heavy, on top of a long and heavy year. We are holding a lot…

Take Root Therapy November Newsletter

We learn about anxiety and depression, donate clothes to unhoused neighbors, and talk about regression during the holidays. A Letter From Our Founder Hi there, It’s the day after Thanksgiving. Some of you may have celebrated yesterday, others may not have observed the holiday at all, and plenty of folks have understandably complicated feelings about it, regardless. However you moved through yesterday, I hope you…

Take Root Therapy October Newsletter

We learn about OCD, feed Los Angeles, and develop tools to manage social anxiety. A Letter From Our Founder Hi there, I know that shock around the passage of time is a trope, but I’m going to say it anyway: I truly can’t believe that Halloween is just days away, and the holidays seem to be racing towards me. I’m both excited (I’ve said it before,…
