Not everyone needs to know you're in therapy.

For police officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, dispatchers, and other first responders, seeking mental health support can come with an additional concern:

Who will find out?

Will my department know? Could this affect my career? What happens if I use my insurance?

At Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we understand that privacy matters—especially in professions where mental health stigma can still exist.

That's one reason our private-pay model may be a good fit for first responders.

🌿 No insurance claims submitted by our practice.

🌿 No treatment diagnoses submitted to insurance for reimbursement.

🌿 Confidential, individualized treatment within applicable legal and ethical limits.

🌿 Specialized trauma-informed care, including EMDR and the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol.

🌿 Convenient telehealth options for eligible clients.

Private pay doesn't eliminate every legal or professional disclosure obligation, but it allows you to access treatment without involving your insurance company.

You can be excellent at your job and still struggle with what you've experienced.

You can love your career and feel exhausted by it.

You can be the person everyone depends on and still need support yourself.

And you don't have to wait until you're in crisis to ask for help.

Your career is public service. Your mental health care can remain personal.

Who’s looking after the people everyone depends on?

Police officers. Firefighters. EMTs. Paramedics. Dispatchers. First responders.

You're trained to show up when things go wrong. To stay calm in chaos. To make decisions under pressure. To see things most people will never have to see.

But what happens when the shift ends and you're still carrying it?

The calls you can't forget. The sleep that never feels restorative. The irritability that follows you home. The relationships that start feeling strained. The constant feeling that you need to stay alert, even when you're technically off duty.

Being good at your job doesn't mean it doesn't affect you.

At Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we recognize that first responders face unique mental health challenges, including cumulative trauma, PTSD, anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, and the pressure to appear unaffected.

And we understand something else: Privacy matters.

For professionals concerned about workplace stigma or keeping their personal mental health care separate from their employment, our private-pay model offers an alternative to using employer-sponsored insurance.

✔ No insurance claims submitted by our practice
✔ No insurance diagnosis or treatment information submitted for reimbursement
✔ Confidential, individualized treatment
✔ Specialized trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR and the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol
✔ Telehealth options for eligible clients in states where our clinicians are licensed

Therapy is confidential within applicable legal and ethical limits. We can help you understand those protections before you begin.

You spend your career responding to everyone else's emergencies.

You deserve a place where you don't have to hold everything together.

We're accepting new clients and can help match you with a clinician who understands trauma and the demands of high-stress professions.

Meet Nadia Bilodeau, LP — for clients who want to understand not only what they’re feeling, but why certain patterns keep showing up. 🌿

Nadia brings a psychodynamic and relational approach to the Root & Rise team, working with adolescents 13+, young adults, and adults throughout New York.

Her work goes beyond simply managing symptoms. Nadia helps clients explore how earlier experiences, relationships, attachment patterns, and emotional dynamics may influence how they experience themselves, connect with others, and respond to challenges today.

This kind of therapy can be especially meaningful for people who find themselves thinking:

“I know I do this. I just don’t understand why I keep doing it.”

Nadia creates space for deeper, insight-oriented work while helping clients recognize patterns, strengthen self-understanding, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and the people around them.

She also offers therapy in English and Indonesian, adding another important dimension to the diverse perspectives and specialties represented across our Root & Rise team.

If you’re watching this, chances are you’ve thought about calling a therapist. Maybe more than once.

You’ve looked at websites. Read therapist bios. Maybe even saved a few phone numbers.

And then life gets busy. You tell yourself things aren’t that bad. You’ll make the call when you have more time, when things settle down, or when you feel a little more ready.

Sound familiar?

Here’s something we want you to know: You don’t have to wait until you’re falling apart to benefit from therapy.

At Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we work with people who are navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, life transitions, and sometimes just that nagging feeling that something needs to change.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. That’s part of what we’re here to help you do.

And we know finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. That’s why we take the time to understand what you’re looking for and thoughtfully connect you with a clinician who fits your needs.

No pressure. No judgment. Just a conversation about where you are and where you’d like to be.

You’ve thought about making the call. Maybe this is your sign to finally have that conversation.

The right therapist matters. More than people realize. 🌿

Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all—and neither are therapists.

At Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we don’t believe finding care should mean being placed with whoever happens to have the next opening. The therapeutic relationship matters, the clinician’s expertise matters, and the way they approach treatment matters.

That’s why we’ve intentionally built Root & Rise around a different model:

🌿 Thoughtful matching — We consider your needs, goals, personality, preferred therapeutic style, and clinical complexity when helping you find your fit.

🌿 Specialized therapists — Our clinicians bring different areas of training and expertise, including trauma, EMDR, RTM, couples and relationship therapy, adolescent and family work, neurodivergence, anxiety, life transitions, psychodynamic therapy, and more.

🌿 Depth over volume — We believe clinicians do better work when they have the capacity to actually do the work. Our model prioritizes meaningful, individualized care over high-volume caseloads.

🌿 A clinician-led practice — Root & Rise was founded by therapists and remains clinically directed by therapists. Our decisions about the practice start with the quality of care we want our clients to receive.

You shouldn’t have to figure out which therapist you need on your own. That’s part of our job.
Our team is currently welcoming new clients, and we’ll help you determine which Root & Rise clinician may be the right fit.

Meet Suzanne D’Addona, LMSW, bringing trauma-informed, EMDR-trained care to the Root & Rise team. 🌿

Suzanne works with adults navigating trauma, recovery, anxiety, stress, and major life transitions, providing a supportive space to understand what happened, how it continues to show up, and what moving forward can actually look like.

As an EMDRIA-trained EMDR therapist, Suzanne incorporates EMDR into her work when clinically appropriate, helping clients process distressing experiences and the beliefs, emotions, and patterns that can remain long after an experience is over.
Her approach is compassionate and grounded, but therapy with Suzanne isn’t simply about talking through the same things week after week.

The goal is to help clients develop insight, strengthen coping skills, process what needs to be processed, and create meaningful change beyond the therapy room.

And because Suzanne is part of the larger Root & Rise clinical team, clients have access to a practice built around different specialties and approaches. We thoughtfully match each person based on clinical needs, personality, therapeutic style, and the kind of support they’re actually looking for.

Meet Christina Scheinberg, LMHC, and a new way to approach trauma treatment. 🌿

Christina is a Certified RTM Provider at Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, specializing in the Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) Protocol for clients struggling with the lasting effects of trauma and PTSD.

RTM is designed to target the fear, terror, and helplessness associated with traumatic memories without requiring clients to repeatedly relive or retell the trauma in detail. For many people, especially those who have avoided therapy because they don't want to keep revisiting what happened, that distinction matters.

Christina’s RTM work is focused, structured, and results-driven. Treatment is often completed in just a few sessions, making it a unique option within our larger trauma-informed team.

At Root & Rise, we don't believe every client needs the same treatment or the same therapist. Christina's specialized RTM work is one reason we've intentionally built a team with different clinical strengths and modalities.

Meet the Team Behind the Care 🌿

Different specialties. Different perspectives. Different ways of helping people create meaningful change.

One shared standard of care.

At Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we intentionally built a team that isn't one-size-fits-all—because neither are the people who come to therapy.

Our clinicians bring specialized experience across trauma and PTSD, EMDR, RTM, couples and relationship therapy, adolescents and families, neurodivergence, anxiety, life transitions, psychodynamic therapy, and more.

But expertise is only part of the equation.

We also consider personality, communication style, therapeutic approach, and what you actually need from the person sitting across from you. That's why thoughtful clinical matching is such an important part of how we work.

You don't have to scroll through dozens of profiles wondering, Who am I supposed to choose?
That's part of our job.

Over the next several posts, we'll be introducing you to the clinicians behind Root & Rise, what they specialize in, and the different ways they approach therapy, so you can get to know the real people behind the care.

We didn’t want to build a therapy factory. And we certainly didn’t want to run one.

When we founded Root & Rise Clinical Specialists, we knew exactly what we wanted to do differently.
We didn't want clients assigned to whichever therapist happened to have an opening. We didn't want clinicians carrying overwhelming caseloads or feeling pressured to prioritize volume over the quality of their work. And we didn't want therapy to feel like another appointment to squeeze into an already busy calendar.

We wanted to build a practice where the right clinical fit matters more than filling an appointment slot.
That meant creating a clinician-led, private-pay practice built around thoughtful therapist matching, specialized treatment, meaningful collaboration, and the flexibility to provide individualized care.
Our clinicians bring different personalities, specialties, training, and therapeutic approaches to the table. That’s intentional. Because the therapist who is right for one person may not be right for another.

And as Co-Founders and Co-Clinical Directors, we remain personally involved in maintaining the clinical standards and culture behind the practice.
We're not interested in seeing the most clients. We're interested in providing the kind of care that makes a meaningful difference for the clients we do see.
That's the foundation of Root & Rise. And it's why we call what we do Mental Wealth-Care™.
