Rooted Counseling

Gearing up for another great year with what will absolutely become an annual tradition - a Rooted family backyard BBQ. Counseling can be heavy, these amazing humans help make it lighter.

Deeply saddened by the racist, homophobic and xenophobic vandalism targeting Old Town businesses intended to provoke fear and stir hate.

Old Town is a neighborhood open and welcoming to all. With a heart for folks on the margins, we’ve proudly called Old Town a Rooted Counseling home in one form or another for almost eight years.

Standing with and for our neighbors and firmly against white supremacy and bigotry in all it’s forms.

Hate has no home here.

Pride isn’t about us. Pride isn’t about corporations throwing up rainbow logos for the month as long as it doesn’t cost them anything. Pride is about you being comfortable, loved, welcomed and accepted just as you are.

Loudly affirming today and every day. Happy Pride, y’all. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

We had an awesome time last week at East Lansing Public School’s mental health & wellness summit! We love to see an outpouring of support for mental wellness and getting to touch base with other wonderful groups, and agencies that provide mental health resources for kids and families in our community. And making a mess with sensory slime was fun too (sorry parents! 😅)

A reminder going into the week.

Struggling with noticing compulsions but feeling powerless to stop them? Start by noticing how OCD tricks you into feeling like you have to use a compulsion to feel better, get some certainty, or get some relief. The compulsion might feel like it helps in the moment but it’s part of the cycle that’s keeping anxiety so high to begin with. The more you practice tolerating uncertainty and discomfort, the quieter those compulsion urges become.

Come say hi to Rooted at our “make-your-own-sensory-slime” tomorrow!

Hey ELHS Fam:

This WEDNESDAY is the Mental Health Wellness Summit. We went to this last year and it was GREAT. Fun things for the students, informative presentations for families, tons of resources. It was great to meet providers and organizations and we used that to access mental health services over the summer last year!

This is for the entire community, not just high school, so pass the word.
