Why Families Choose Rooted Rhythm
We believe healing happens through connection.
While many practices focus only on weekly therapy sessions, we believe lasting change comes from supporting the whole person—and, for children, the whole family. That's why our approach emphasizes relationships, collaboration, and practical tools that extend beyond the therapy room.
Play therapy that creates real change
Children communicate through play long before they can fully express their feelings with words. Our therapists are specially trained to meet children where they are, helping them process emotions in developmentally appropriate ways.
Parent coaching built into every plan
Parents know their children best. We work alongside caregivers—not separately from them—offering guidance, encouragement, and practical strategies that create meaningful change at home.
A clear 12-week process for child therapy
We begin with clear, collaborative goals and a structured 12-week process that helps you understand your child's progress while keeping everyone moving toward meaningful, lasting change.

What Families Say
Real change, in their own words
"We needed someone to help us navigate parenting our oldest son, who is 5 years old, who we learned is highly sensitive."
“Rooted Rhythm was a game changer for us! We needed someone to help us navigate parenting our oldest son, who is 5 years old, who we learned is highly sensitive. We started sessions with Sophie and instantly felt a connection and her support for us and our son! We honestly noticed such a positive difference after working with Sophie to think about our son's behaviors differently and learn how to support him as a highly sensitive child!
We would 100% recommend Rooted Rhythm and Sophie to anybody looking for support parenting highly sensitive children!” - Parents of 3 boys
"Their approach of child play therapy alongside parent coaching was extremely effective."
“Sophie and her team at Rooted Rhythm, have truly brought our family closer and given us the tools and confidence to face challenges ahead. Their approach of child play therapy alongside parent coaching was extremely effective. I would highly recommend working with them. And as I continue the journey of parenting, I know their support system will always be available if needed, and I will continually be reflecting on the knowledge I have gained from taking the TUNED IN course and working with them.” - Mother of 3 and 5 year old girl
"Our son has gained self-confidence and we have gained clarity and confidence as parents."
“Our 4-year-old was having trouble working through his really big feelings, and my husband and I felt confused about how to help him. Rooted Rhythm therapy helped us identify his challenges and how we could support him. Our son has gained self-confidence and we have gained clarity and confidence as parents. Sophie is an absolutely wonderful person and held space for our family to find our rhythm. So grateful!” - Mother of a 4 year old boy
"Instrumental in giving our sensitive kiddo the tools he needed to feel more confident and expressive."
"Kate was instrumental in giving our sensitive kiddo the tools he needed to feel more confident and expressive. We had taken him to other therapy practices but the feedback and parent coaching provided by the Rooted Rhythm team was invaluable." - Mother of a 4 year old
