Providing compassionate, trauma-informed mental health therapy to adults in the Twin Cities South Metro and throughout Minnesota.
My Philosophy
Hello and welcome! I am Heather Oleson, mental health therapist and owner of Rooted Insights. I believe that we can all benefit from support from a trusted guide when we are feeling stuck or overwhelmed. Maybe you are going through a difficult transition or just don't feel like yourself. Or perhaps you wonder whether experiences or relationships from your past are preventing you from living the life you want to lead. I provide a supportive and nonjudgmental space for you to explore these concerns and help you achieve your personal goals.
​
Sometimes just talking with a trusted person can be enough to help one feel better. Other times, just talking about things can still leave someone feeling stuck. This is why I integrate strategies that foster healing connection on a mind/body level. This often involves exploring what is at the "root" of our problems and incorporating strategies to help shift the way we think and feel about them.
​
Drawing upon one's own inner strengths and wisdom, I feel honored to accompany individuals on their journey to cultivate deep healing and lasting change.
