Welcome to the Living Roots Counseling Blog

At Living Roots Counseling, we are dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based therapy to individuals all across Tennessee and Illinois. Whether you attend therapy in person or online, the goal is to help you grow with clarity, confidence, and connection. This blog serves as a companion space! It’s a place of insight, encouragement, and practical guidance for your mental health journey.

Here, you'll find thoughtfully written articles that cover a range of topics, such as managing anxiety and depression with actionable tools, navigating big life transitions, fostering focus and motivation (especially for those with ADHD), and improving communication in relationships. We also discuss setting healthy boundaries at home, at work, and with yourself, so you can move through life with more emotional safety and authenticity. Our approach draws on proven techniques, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness strategies, and practical personal reflections that offer tools that work for everyday life.

Every post is crafted to feel like a gentle conversation, not a lecture. You’ll discover resources that feel relevant, whether you’re seeking guidance on tough emotions like the pressure to stay “positive” all the time, learning what healthy boundaries look like in friendship, or exploring ideas about the perpetual journey of self-care.

Take your time exploring the blog. Save or bookmark posts that resonate, revisit them when you need inspiration, and let them remind you that meaningful change often happens in small, thoughtful steps, not grand leaps. You don’t have to walk this path alone; a community of compassionate support and helpful tools is just a click away!
