Welcome!

You found this place for a reason.

Root Salve is a Black-owned, liberation-focused psychotherapy practice dedicated to radical healing — for anyone who is tired of surviving and ready to live. We believe that the systems shaping our world have caused real harm, and that healing from that harm is not just personal — it is political, ancestral, and collective.

We see you if you are exhausted by the pressure to perform strength, grind through pain, or make yourself palatable to systems that were never designed with your wholeness in mind. We know that narratives of resilience and productivity have too often been used to justify suffering — and we refuse to participate in that.

At Root Salve, healing starts at the root. That means exploring origin stories, family patterns, and the wisdom already living inside you. It means reclaiming rest, joy, and ease as things you are entitled to — not things you have to earn. We draw on ancestral knowledge, anti-oppressive practice, and deep, authentic connection to support each client in recovering who they are, resisting what harms them, and reimagining a life on their own terms.
