Odelia Morovati, LMFT, RPT

At Safe Roots Counseling, we believe that everyone deserves a safe and compassionate space to heal and grow. Our mission is to provide a welcoming and non-judgmental environment where individuals, children, and families can overcome the challenges they face.

Our Approach

As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and registered Play Therapist, I, Odelia Morovati, have over 10 years of experience working with underserved populations and at-risk youth. I am passionate about using trauma protocols that go beyond talk therapy, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and attachment work. I believe that healing is possible when we address the root causes of our pain and offer a safe space for individuals to process their emotions and experiences.

Our Approach to Trauma and EMDR

At Safe Roots Counseling, we believe that trauma is a deeply distressing or disturbing experience that can have a profound impact on an individual's life. We understand that traumatic experiences can range from single incidents to long-term, repetitive, and complex ones. Our approach to trauma and EMDR is centered on creating a safe and compassionate space for individuals to process their emotions and experiences.

How Does EMDR Work?

EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based psychotherapy that enables individuals to heal from symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. EMDR uses bilateral (right-left) eye movements, sounds, or tactile stimulation to repeatedly activate the opposite sides of the brain, releasing the emotional charge associated with the traumatic memory.
