Trauma in Practice
We make sense of what shaped you, what still follows you, and why the patterns that protected you can be so hard to leave behind.
Founded by a psychotherapist and survivor of violence, Root & Fray understands trauma and attachment beyond the clinical language used to describe it. Clinical expertise in trauma and attachment gives us the framework; lived experience extends that understanding beyond what can be studied, taught, or explained by theory alone.
Specialized Therapy
Trauma & Attachment
At Root & Fray, we specialize in the intersection of trauma and attachment. We examine how trauma shapes patterns of protection, connection, emotional safety, and relationships.
Treatment integrates neuroscience with psychodynamic insight to address both the neurobiological and psychological dimensions of trauma.

Our Philosophy
"Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be just another human soul." — C.G. Jung
We believe clinical expertise and human understanding are not competing ideas.
Trauma and attachment work requires both.
What Guides Us
Everything we do is shaped by four core principles.
Trauma changes more than memories.
Its effects can influence relationships, emotional safety, trust, identity, and the nervous system in ways that often go unrecognized.
Adaptation has a reason.
Many of the patterns that become difficult later began as ways of protecting yourself, surviving what was happening, or maintaining connection.
We treat people, not diagnoses.
No two people experience trauma in the same way. Treatment should reflect the individual, not simply the diagnosis.
Relationships matter.
Trauma rarely affects one person alone. It can shape communication, connection, conflict, and the ways we protect ourselves with the people closest to us.
As the practice grows, these principles remain unchanged. They shape every decision we make, every therapeutic relationship we build, and every person who becomes part of Root & Fray.
