Beau Rootring, LPC

I specialize in working with couples (engaged, married or not) to build satisfying relationships. I also help individuals, 18+, cope with anxiety, depression, past trauma and difficult life transitions / stressors.

My passion is to help clients find a better tomorrow – whether that looks like more fulfilling relationships, relief from anxiety or depression, greater self-confidence, or a clearer sense of life purpose. I help clients cope with difficult life transitions (new job, relocation, new baby, marriage, divorce, empty nester, retirement) and major life stressors (health issues, death of a loved one, job loss).
Central to my practice is the person-centered counseling approach of psychologist Carl Rogers. Like Rogers, I believe people are resourceful, capable of self understanding, and able to make positive change. We will build a collaborative and authentic relationship - one in which you feel supported, accepted, and ready for growth. I will create a treatment plan in support of your therapy goals using an eclectic approach - choosing the most effective methods available to meet your needs. I often use cognitive behavior therapy to transform negative thought patterns, solutions therapy to construct solutions versus focusing on problems, and strength-based therapy to bring awareness to your resourcefulness. If you have experienced trauma, I can use EMDR to help you reprocess and heal. For couples, I leverage principles from the work of Drs. John and Julie Gottman and Drs. Les and Leslie Parrott. I use the Prepare and Enrich Assessment for couples preparing for marriage. I am delighted to integrate faith into our work if you choose.
I have witnessed the capacity of couples and individuals to heal and grow by recognizing and removing unhealthy patterns in their lives. You can heal too, and I would be honored to teach you skills for living well that can last a lifetime. As a wife, mother of 2 adult children, and therapist, I have the life experience and skills to help you achieve your goals. The hope of a new day is breaking. If you think I might be a good fit for your counseling needs, please contact me.
