Root & Reclaim Counseling
Something in you already knows it needs more support.
Here, we slow down enough to listen—to your story, your body, and your nervous system—and begin finding your way back to yourself.
Accepting New Clients
Healing happens in CONNECTION
Trauma, relationships, and life's experiences can leave us feeling disconnected from who we are. Therapy is a space to reconnect with yourself, heal in relationship, and reclaim the parts of you that have been hidden, silenced, or shaped by survival.
Connection First
Therapy with Root & Reclaim begins with building safety, trust, and a strong therapeutic relationship.
Rooted in connection.
Guided by the nervous system.
Grounded in evidence-based care.
Mind, Body & Nervous System
Together we will listen to what your nervous system has learned and begin reconnecting mind and body.
Evidence-Based & Relational
I integrate evidence-based therapeutic approaches while staying responsive to your lived experience.
Meet the Therapist
Brit Bitters, LCSW
Hi, I am Brit
I am an LCSW and graduated from the University of Utah. I have worked as a mental health therapist since 2016 and have experience supporting teens, adults, families, and individuals of all genders. Throughout my career, I have worked with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, domestic and sexual violence, attachment and relationship challenges, identity exploration, substance use, and life transitions.
My approach is relationship-first and grounded in evidence-based practices tailored to each client's unique needs, goals, and experiences.
I view people holistically. While our personal experiences and relationships matter, they do not exist in isolation. Our identities, communities, cultures, and the systems we live within all shape how we experience ourselves and the world around us. I believe empowerment comes not only from understanding ourselves, but also from understanding the environments that impact us. Together, we explore these influences while building greater awareness, self-trust, and connection.
The hope is that therapy helps you better understand yourself, trust your voice, and move through the world with greater clarity, connection, and confidence in who you are.

Connection
We believe healing happens in relationship. A strong therapeutic relationship can create opportunities for safety, trust, growth, and meaningful change.
Authenticity
You do not need to hide parts of yourself here. Therapy is a space where honesty, vulnerability, and your full humanity are welcome.
Collaboration
You are the expert on your own life. Therapy is a partnership built on curiosity, respect, and shared decision-making rather than authority and judgment.
Empowerment
Our goal is not to tell you who to be, but to support you in reclaiming your voice, honoring your needs, and living in alignment with your values.
Compassion
We approach every person with kindness and understanding. Many of the patterns we struggle with began as ways of surviving, coping, or staying connected.
Justice & Inclusion
Our experiences are shaped not only by our personal histories but also by the systems, cultures, and communities we live within. We are committed to providing affirming, culturally responsive care that honors the complexity of each person's identity and lived experience.
Growth
Healing is not about becoming someone new. It is about deepening your connection to yourself, building resilience, and creating space for the life you want to live.
-
I believe healing happens in connection. The therapeutic relationship can become a space where new experiences of safety, trust, and authenticity are possible.
My work is grounded in attachment theory, somatic practices, feminist and multicultural perspectives, and evidence-based approaches to trauma and emotional healing. I view symptoms not as signs that something is wrong with you, but as adaptive responses to experiences, relationships, and environments that have shaped your life.
Because trauma and stress are not only stored in our thoughts but also in our bodies, I incorporate bottom-up approaches that help increase awareness, regulation, and connection. I also utilize parts work to explore the different aspects of ourselves that developed to protect, survive, and help us navigate difficult experiences. Together, we can approach these parts with curiosity and compassion rather than judgment.
Above all, therapy is a collaborative process. I strive to reduce traditional power dynamics and honor the unique identities, experiences, strengths, and wisdom each client brings into the room. My goal is not to tell you who to be, but to support you in reclaiming a deeper connection to yourself and living in alignment with what matters most to you.
