Reconnect, heal, and grow from the roots up

Life can feel stressful when cycles of anxiety, unresolved trauma, or strained relationships take hold. You may find yourself stuck in patterns that leave you feeling misunderstood or burdened by self-doubt. Perhaps you’ve been struggling to manage racing thoughts, intense emotions, or a lingering sense of emptiness. If you’re feeling like you’ve lost your way or unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone.

At Insightful Roots Therapy, we believe that true healing begins by connecting with the deepest parts of ourselves. Just as the roots of a tree provide nourishment and stability, understanding and nurturing our emotional and psychological roots can lead to profound personal growth and well-being.

Through insight, compassion, and approaches like EMDR, we help you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been silenced or stuck. Our goal is to support you in integrating insights, fostering resilience, and creating a foundation for living the life you’ve always dreamed of.

You might be a good fit for therapy at Insightful Roots if:

You look like you’re holding it all together, but inside you feel anxious, overwhelmed, or never quite “enough.”

You’re tired of people-pleasing, perfectionism, or parenting from a place of guilt and want to break the cycle.

You grew up in a family where emotions weren’t safe, and now you struggle to set boundaries or trust your needs.

You’re ready for real, lasting change — not just coping strategies, but deep healing at the root.

You want to stop spiraling in self-doubt and start feeling confident, grounded, and at peace in your own skin.

If you’re nodding along to any of these, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep figuring it out on your own.

Meet Marisa Ronquillo LMFT

I know how heavy it is to keep showing up for everyone else while feeling like you’re never enough. I help working moms, cycle-breakers, and recovering perfectionists heal the hidden wounds of relational trauma, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. My clients often tell me they feel truly seen here — I bring warmth, humor, and a pace that feels safe and real. Together, we’ll get to the root of what’s holding you back so you can feel calm, confident, and free to be fully you.
