Grounded Care, Growth & Community

Roots and Seeds / Raíces y Semillas partners with youth, families, and organizations to support and nurture growth through therapy, coaching, and consulting that affirms neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, immigrant, disabled, and BIPOC identities.

About

Roots & Seeds is a concept that I have been thinking about and living into for years. As a multi-disabled, Chicana clinician, consultant, coach, and person with grounded experience in the areas of neurodivergence, trauma, immigration, anxiety, and sex education, I wanted to create a space where people could find someone who could authentically walk through these lived experiences with them.

Rooted in neuro-affirming, trauma-responsive, and disability justice principles. Roots & Seeds: Therapy, Coaching, & Consulting offers collaborative care that centers lived experience, reduces stigma, and supports the transformation of harm to healing and growth. This is made possible with a client-clinician or client-coach partnership, practical tools, education, and compassionate connection.

A serene corner designed for anxious or overwhelmed youth, portrayed photographically: a deep, plush beanbag chair in a muted teal fabric rests beside a low white shelf filled with neatly organized sensory jars of colored sand, calming glitter, and smooth shells. A small, dimmable floor lamp with a linen shade casts warm, adjustable light, while faint natural daylight filters through sheer curtains, softening the edges of the room. A thick, neutral-toned rug covers the floor, and a framed abstract print in cool pastels hangs above. Shot at a slightly low angle with moderate depth of field, the composition feels cocoon-like and safe, evoking grounding, comfort, and trauma-informed care without any clinical sterility.

Services

Therapy

Roots & Seeds provides individual and family therapy for neurodivergent youth and adults, LGBTQ+ youth, and people experiencing the effects of anxiety, trauma, depression, family stressors, and immigration trauma in a gentle, affirming space.

Guided by trauma-responsive, neuro-affirming, and disability justice principles, I work with clients to support growth and healing that is client-centered/directed. Therapy formats include short- and long-term therapy with individuals, families, couples, and polycules.

Coaching

Roots & Seeds provides neuro-affirmative caregiver and family individual or group coaching to strengthen communication, trust, nervous system felt safety, routines, and confidence while honoring each person’s unique wiring.

Roots & Seeds supports caregivers navigating complex systems, while recognizing the power of caregiver community.

Coaching is focused on providing practical education and tools and is not a replacement for therapy.

Consulting

Roots & Seeds provides forensic clinical evaluation and letters of support for immigration purposes. With over 10 years of experience providing clinical reports and letters of support for individuals seeking immigration relief, I work with clients on cases, including T-Visa, U-Visa, Asylum, VAWA, Cancellation of Removal, Hardship Waivers, and other Family-Based Cases.

I also consult with organizations, schools, and community groups on leadership, LGBTQ+ inclusion, sex education, and trauma-responsive, neurodivergent-affirming practices.
