“You’re not here to perform a perfect audition for healing. You’re here to show up as your full self, and that deserves a space that’s safe, affirming, and very human. I combine Internal Family Systems, gestalt, somatic,and trauma-informed care with a commitment to decolonial and liberatory practice. If you’re navigating gender identity, race, spirituality, or any piece of your life that doesn’t fit a neat box, you’re in the right place. All therapy is online—pajamas optional.”

THE PRACTICAL STUFF
Support staff. Unpaid. Unbothered.
Four animals who have never once respected a session boundary and somehow still help.
Onyx
KITTEN THERAPY DIRECTOR
Runs quality assurance on every couch, cushion, and lap in the building. Attends sessions uninvited.
Auggie
CHIEF NAP OFFICER
Models rest as a legitimate use of a Tuesday afternoon. Consultation strictly by appointment.
Fionn
DIRECTOR OF FUN
Enthusiasm is his entire clinical approach. Has never once asked a clarifying follow-up question.
Rolo
VP OF SNACK ADVOCACY
Holds the position that breaks are clinically indicated. Escalates the matter as often as needed.Animal support is not a billable service. They have been informed and remain unmoved.

WHAT’S NEXT
We’re building this slowly, on purpose
Soma Roots Therapy is a solo practice for now. As clinicians join, this page grows with them — same values, same pace, same refusal to rush anyone’s nervous system.
Future provider slots
Every new clinician gets a card here: name, credentials, who they work best with, and a direct link to book.
Clinical supervision
Del is an Approved Clinical Supervisor with openings for prelicensed associates in Oregon and Washington.
