Hello! I'm Shereen. Belize, my beloved birthplace, has shaped me in profound ways, and its essence will forever reside within me. But life had a different path in store for me, and in 2006, I embarked on a bold adventure that led me to Phoenix, AZ. This desert oasis became my new home, and it's in this landscape that I've nurtured and continued growing my roots.

As a psychotherapist, I specialize in guiding individuals on a journey of reconnecting with their true essence, helping them embrace life with a newfound sense of ease and acceptance. Picture yourself sitting with a warm and nurturing granny or auntie, whose love for you knows no bounds. In her presence, you feel an overwhelming sense of unconditional acceptance, knowing deep in your heart that she only wishes the very best for you. That's the kind of support and care I strive to provide.

My mission is to assist adults in cultivating a deeper connection with themselves, enabling them to lead lives that are more authentic, connected, and meaningful—to themselves, to others, and to the world at large. Our work together will involve delving into the practice of mindfulness, meditation, connecting with nature, and seeking joy and pleasure in everyday experiences, all while acknowledging the interconnection between our individual experiences and the collective consciousness that we are a part of. Together, we will explore conditioned thought patterns and behaviors that may act as barriers to being fully present, while also addressing and healing any past traumas hindering growth.

Rooted Alma has its roots deeply embedded in the rich tapestry of my lineage and the wisdom passed down by my ancestors who traversed this planet. They held a profound connection to nature and carried a deep wellspring of wisdom within them. Rooted Alma pays homage to my dear granny, Alma May Thompson Tucker, a remarkable woman born and raised in the charming coastal town of Dangriga in Belize. Her spirit and influence continue to guide me on this journey.

Rooted Alma is more than just a name; it symbolizes my ongoing quest to live mindfully, fully present, and intricately intertwined within the web of life. The cornerstone of my work lies in fostering presence—wholeheartedly immersing oneself in the present moment. Rooted Alma seeks to embody this concept, offering unwavering support to individuals as they tap into their innate healing capacities and access the profound collective intelligence that envelops us all.

I'm thrilled that you've taken the time to learn more about me and my practice. Currently, I am licensed to provide therapy in Arizona (LCSW-18880) and in Colorado (CSW-09929263). I offer therapy sessions through telehealth for residents of Colorado and provide both in-person and telehealth sessions for residents of Arizona. Sessions are held in my cozy office in central Phoenix and to ensure accessibility, I also provide services through telehealth, so distance is never a barrier to receiving the support you deserve.
