Vonetta Blakely, LCSW, LISW-CP

I am an experienced licensed clinical social worker who provides clinical services to those who have been diagnosed with Autism or other neuro-developmental differences.

Life can be overwhelming for those impacted by Autism or other developmental differences. Whether you are the parent or caregiver of a child with exceptional needs or an adult who has felt that you are different from your peers, you have reached the right place. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, emotionally drained and anxious, I am glad that you have found Rooted Therapeutic Services. I understand, and I am here to help. With both my personal and professional experience in the field, I can relate to the unique needs that affect us and our families.
I provide counseling to those who have been diagnosed with Autism or other developmental differences as well as to those who have concerns about delays in development. I also provide guidance with navigating appropriate community resources. I am available for public educational speaking opportunities as well as professional consultation services.

In addition to being a clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience, I am also the parent of three children, one of whom was born with genetic differences, global developmental delays and was diagnosed later in life with Autism. Simply put, I get it! Let's connect and work together to create a concrete plan and strategies to help navigate life.
