When we nurture our roots, our petals can bloom.

At Petal and Root Wellness and Counseling, my mission is to provide trauma-informed therapy for individuals facing anxiety, grief, postpartum depression, and perinatal mental health challenges. I prioritize empathy, understanding, and a non-judgmental approach that respects each person’s unique journey.

Committed to inclusivity and support, I aim to create a space where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to heal.

  • The best way to schedule is emailing me at emilylitzow@petalandrootwc.com

    You can view my upcoming availability and book an appointment through my Headway profile here.

  • My primary goal during the intake session and the first couple of follow-up sessions is to build trust and create a sense of safety. As we go through the intake, I’ll review important boundaries and expectations to ensure we're on the same page about working together. My approach is always trauma-informed, which means I make sure to leave plenty of space for you to ask questions and share your preferences.

    From there, I tailor future sessions to your individual needs and goals — there’s no one-size-fits-all approach here. I draw from various modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Expressive Arts, and Attachment-Focused therapy, to best support you and your journey.

Perinatal Support

The perinatal period — before, during, and after pregnancy — can bring unique challenges and transitions. I’m here to offer support during this vulnerable time, helping you feel empowered with the tools and resources you need to navigate these changes with confidence. My goal is to be a part of the village you build around you, ensuring that your fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum experiences are safe, healthy, and joyful.
