    Manuela has been my provider for 3 years now. With her help, I've navigated some of the toughest challenges of my life, including the death of my mom, the parenting of my children, and huge changes at work. She's helped me grow and gain clarity.
    Manuela is extremely knowledgeable and attentive. I wouldn’t have been able to make all the progress that I have without her guidance. I am much more confident and I’ve been able to let go of issues that I’ve had for a long time.
    Finding Rooted Therapeutic Center was one of the best things I've done for myself. Every interaction has been warm, professional, and welcoming. My therapist challenges me in the best ways while also making me feel supported every step of the process. I've experienced real growth and finally feel like I have the tools to move forward with confidence. I highly recommend this practice.
    I've seen Dr. Mbouma's work firsthand, and her client-focused approach is truly exceptional. As Founder & Director of Rooted Therapeutic Center, she supports clients from adolescents through adulthood, with particular skill in helping people navigate trauma, anxiety, and the kind of quiet heaviness that's hard to put into words. Her love for children shines through in her work, and her commitment extends beyond the therapy room — she's an active voice in the community, speaking to women's groups, youth meetings, and other gatherings. She creates a safe, authentic space where clients feel met exactly where they are, never a one-size-fits-all approach. I've witnessed individuals truly thrive in their lives after working with her. She's approachable from the first consultation, making it easy to take that first step. Highly recommend Dr. Mbouma for thoughtful, client-centered mental health care.
