Welcome to Roots Psychotherapy

At Roots Psychotherapy in College Station, TX, we help kids, teens, college students, adults, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with compassionate, personalized therapy.

Our Mission


Roots was founded in 2018 with a simple yet powerful vision: to provide inclusive, relatable therapy in a growing community. We believe healing isn’t about quick fixes or pretending to have it all together. It’s about doing the real work—untangling old patterns, building resilience, and embracing the messiness of being human.

Our Core Values

  • Authenticity Over Perfection: Growth is messy, and we’re here for it.
  • Compassion & Honesty: We hold space for deep emotions while keeping things real.
  • Depth Over Quick Fixes: We don’t just teach coping skills; we help you understand yourself.
  • Connection & Inclusivity: Everyone deserves a space where they feel seen and supported.
  • Authenticity Over Perfection: Growth is messy, and we’re here for it.
  • Unending Curiosity: There's no script for how to be human. We're here to get curious, not categorize.

Our Story

Why Roots?

Roots started with a simple idea: therapy should feel human. Not clinical. Not cold. Just real. As Bryan/College Station kept growing, so did the number of people feeling lost in the crowd. We built Roots for them—for the folks who didn’t see themselves reflected in the usual therapy spaces, but still wanted something deeper.Our Name & VisionWe chose the name “Roots” because real growth doesn’t always look pretty. It happens underground—quiet, messy, and often unseen. But it’s what gives you strength. Sturdiness. The ability to stand in the midst of uncertainty, pressure, and change—and still stay true to yourself.

Our Name and Vision

Our vision has always been to create a space where both clients and therapists can take root—doing the deep work it takes to grow into something honest and lasting. This isn’t a place for quick fixes. It’s a place to get grounded, get curious, and keep growing.

A Place to Be Real

A lot of our clients show up feeling like outsiders—like they almost belong here, but not quite. In a town full of beige buildings and cookie-cutter expectations, it’s easy to feel like you’re the weird one for wanting something deeper.

At Roots, you don’t have to edit yourself to be accepted. You can be bold, quiet, unsure, burnt out, tender, curious—whatever’s true for you that day.We don’t just accept difference—we celebrate it here. And you’ll be met by a team who values honesty, curiosity, and connection over perfection.

This place was built to be a contrast—to offer something more honest, more alive, and more you.
No toxic positivity. No quick fixes. Just honest, meaningful conversations that lead to lasting change. Therapy isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about uncovering the strength and clarity within you, so you can live authentically and confidently. At Roots Psychotherapy we’re here to help you grow, heal, and thrive.

As a family medicine physician in College Station, I trust Roots for exceptional therapy and counseling. Their compassionate care and proven results have really benefited my patients. I highly recommend them for anyone seeking genuine healing and support.
Russell Bacak, M.D
We have used Roots for over a year for our teen and have had such a wonderful experience. The office itself has an inviting and comfortable energy. The counselors are amazing - I feel that my child's counselor is genuinely invested in her wellbeing and sincerely cares about what happens after we leave the office. Communication is excellent. Often we seek counseling in times of vulnerability which makes feeling safe and heard really important. Roots has been an invaluable resource for our family and a practice that I wholeheartedly recommend if you're seeking mental health support.

What makes Roots Psychotherapy different from other therapy practices in College Station, TX?

At Roots Psychotherapy, we’re more than just a therapy practice—we’re a community of therapists and clients committed to growth, authenticity, and connection. Founded in 2018, we were built on the belief that therapy should be inclusive, honest, and deeply relational. Our therapists are dedicated to their own personal growth, which allows us to bring authenticity and aliveness to every session. We’re here to help you find clarity, sturdiness, and a sense of belonging in a world that can often feel “beige” and stagnant.

What kind of clients does Roots Psychotherapy work with?

We work with good-hearted, open-minded individuals who are seeking connection, clarity, and authenticity in their lives. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, relationships, trauma, or life transitions, we’re here to support you. Our clients often come to us because they’re looking for a space where they can be truly honest about what’s going on inside—and feel relieved to finally have that opportunity.

How does Roots Psychotherapy create an inclusive environment?

Inclusivity is at the heart of what we do. From the beginning, Roots Psychotherapy was designed to be a space where clients can find therapists who relate to their experiences. We celebrate diversity and difference, both within our team and among our clients. Our therapists are committed to learning from one another and from the unique perspectives each client brings.

What can I expect from my first session at Roots Psychotherapy?

Your first session is a chance for you and your therapist to get to know each other. We’ll create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can share what’s been going on in your life and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Many clients find that their first session is a relief—a chance to finally open up about what’s really going on inside.

How is therapy at Roots Psychotherapy an investment in my well-being?

At Roots Psychotherapy, we operate as a private pay practice because we believe therapy is a powerful investment in your mental, emotional, and relational health. By choosing private pay, you’re prioritizing personalized, high-quality care without the limitations of insurance. This also means your diagnoses don’t go on your permanent medical health records, protecting your privacy and future.

While we are an out-of-network provider, we can provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. At Roots, we’re committed to helping you build a stronger, more authentic version of yourself—because your well-being is worth the investment.
