Services
Rooted in care. Guided by compassion. Informed by lived experience.
At Rooted in Resilience, we know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying trauma, stress, or pain alone. Our diverse team of therapists brings cultural humility, lived experience, and deep compassion to every session — creating safe spaces for authentic healing.
Our commitment was recognized in 2025 when founder Felicia Fischhoff was named a Top 40 Under 40 “Health Care Hero” with the Markham Board of Trade. This honour reflects the heart of our work: accessible, culturally grounded care rooted in community.
We support individuals and families navigating trauma of all kinds — including PTSD, complex and racial trauma, domestic and intimate partner violence, and the lasting impact of childhood wounds. And for survivors of sex trafficking, our experienced therapists provide trauma-informed, compassionate care that honours resilience and healing at your pace.
We also walk with those facing anxiety, depression, chronic stress, addiction, grief and loss, self-esteem challenges, anger, and relationship issues. For parents, couples, and families, we offer support through life transitions, conflict, and parenting stress. Because at Rooted in Resilience, you don’t have to carry it alone. Healing starts here. Servicing clients virtually across ON, in-person in Markham and our new Toronto Location at Yonge and Eglinton.
