Rooted Reflections

Insights on trauma, healing, and the slow work of becoming whole.

Welcome to the blog at Balanced Roots Counseling. I’m Kris Williams—licensed mental health counselor, somatic therapist, and founder of BRC. I specialize in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, and I believe that real healing happens when we move at the pace our nervous system can actually hold.

This space is where I share reflections from the therapy room, body-based wisdom, and glimpses into the slower, more sustainable path of trauma recovery. Some posts are educational, some are personal, and some are inspired by the simple magic of a morning walk in the woods with my dogs.

Whether you're a fellow clinician, a client, or someone simply curious about healing, you're welcome here. Take your time. Explore what resonates. And if something speaks to you—pause and let it land.
