What People Are Saying

When it comes to holistic mental health therapy and supports you can't go wrong with Amy Stenger-Sullivan and her team at Rooted Compassion. Amy leads her team mindfully, centers her understanding of Polyvagal Theory in both theory and practice, and is helping a new generation of therapists (and clients!) meet one another at the root of what's going on vs. getting distracted by symptomology. Rooted Compassion is the group I always trust when folks ask me for a referral. I admire their efforts, expertise and the compassionate lens through with they work!"

“I used what you taught us during the training Thursday in a session this morning and it was excellent!! My client was like...'omg...that's a lightbulb! A big lightbulb! It makes so much sense!!!

Amy has the remarkable ability to take complex concepts and make them easily accessible and very relatable. Amy’s contribution to understanding Polyvagal Theory has widened my knowledge as a person and clinician. I have not only been able to apply what I have learned about Polyvagal Theory from Amy to deepen my understanding of my own humanity and lived expertness, but use I tin my clinical practice to help others depend their understanding of themselves and their relationships. And for that, I have tremendous gratitude.
