Type 1 Diabetes & Mental Health

Living with Type 1 Diabetes affects more than blood sugars - it can impact emotional well-being, relationships, confidence, and daily life. At Connected Roots Therapy, we provide compassionate support for children, teens, adults, and families navigating the challenges of living with Type 1 Diabetes. Whether you're adjusting to a new diagnosis, managing anxiety, preventing burnout, supporting your child, or navigating the ongoing demands of diabetes care, our therapists offer a safe space to build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and foster connection. Combining clinical expertise with lived experience, we understand the unique emotional journey of Type 1 Diabetes and are here to help you feel supported every step of the way.

Adoption and Permanency

Every adoption and permanency journey is unique. At Connected Roots Therapy, we provide compassionate, trauma- and attachment-informed care that honours each person's story and creates a safe space for healing, connection, and growth.

Whether your family has been formed through adoption, kinship care, customary care, foster care, or another permanency arrangement, we work alongside children, teens, adults, and caregivers to strengthen relationships, navigate life's challenges, and build resilience together. We believe healing happens through connection, and we're committed to providing inclusive, relationship-centered care that meets you where you are.
