Michele Root

Welcome to my profile. My name is Michele Root. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR trauma therapist helping adults in California and Pennsylvania heal from sexual abuse and assault, intimate partner violence/domestic violence, childhood trauma, complex trauma, and PTSD. My background working as a first responder, as well as across government, non-profit, hospital, and social service settings, gives me a unique perspective and deep understanding of what my clients go through. I integrate evidence-based modalities including CBT and trauma-informed care to address both the mind and body, with advanced EMDR training specifically focused on applying EMDR to complex trauma. In my private practice, I create a safe and supportive space for clients to process trauma, regulate their nervous systems, and reclaim safety, resilience, and self-compassion. Processing feelings and memories, along with regulating your nervous system is hard work. Healing is not linear, so the journey ahead can be bumpy, but you don’t have to do it alone. Reaching out for help can be extremely tough to do, and I am here to help you feel safe and supported. I know often, when searching for the right therapist, it’s urgent, and I respect that. I respond to every message I receive. I offer in-person therapy in my Campbell, CA office and online therapy for residents of California and Pennsylvania. Sessions are available Monday-Thursday between 12pm-5pm PST.
