Rising Rooted

Rachel Bennett MC, RP, CCC

Therapy for people who are done with coping and ready to live more honestly.

You’re not here because something is “wrong” with you. You’re here because the way you’ve been living no longer fits — and pretending otherwise has started to cost too much.

VIRTUAL ACROSS ONTARIO AND ‘UNREGULATED’ PROVINCES/TERRITORIES (YK, NWT, NU, BC, SK, MB, NL)


This work is rooted on unceded Anishinaabe territory, with ongoing respect for the land and peoples who have cared for it since time immemorial.


I work with thoughtful, deep-feeling humans who want more than symptom management: they want meaning, agency, and a way of living that actually feels like theirs.


You may not be in crisis — but, perhaps, you can feel the quiet urgency underneath everything.


You’ve likely done a lot of work already.

You understand your patterns.

You can name your wounds.

You know why you are the way you are.

And still, something isn’t landing.

You’re tired of living in your head. Tired of managing yourself.

Tired of adapting endlessly to systems, roles, and expectations that don’t reflect who you are.

What you’re really asking isn’t

How do I cope?

Rather, it’s

How do I live in a way that feels true?


Therapy here is a space to slow down, listen more deeply, and begin responding to that question — not with answers, but with lived change.

I work with people who are sensitive, imaginative, and often feel like they are “too much” or “not enough” (often both!) for the world as it is.


This is therapy for people who:

  • are no longer trying to optimize themselves
  • aren’t looking for a diagnosis to explain their existence
  • want to understand their inner world and shape their outer life differently

Our work is relational, embodied, and meaning-centred.

We make space for grief, anger, longing, and imagination — not as problems to eliminate, but as messengers pointing toward a more honest life.

This isn’t about becoming someone new.

It’s about remembering yourself — and learning how to live from that place.

Ways We Might Work Together

My practice is organized around five interconnected areas of inquiry:


Burnout as a Threshold

Burnout is not a personal failure or a sign that you’ve done life wrong. Often, it’s the body and psyche signalling that the way things have been arranged is no longer sustainable.

About Me

I’m Rachel — a Registered Psychotherapist, existential thinker, and deeply curious human.

My work is shaped as much by lived experience as by training. I’ve known burnout, neurodivergence, attachment wounds, and the long process of untangling identity from diagnosis. Healing didn’t mean becoming someone else — it meant changing how I relate to myself, my symptoms, and the life I was trying to live.

I’ve learned that symptoms come and go. What transforms is our relationship to them — and the courage to shape a life that honours who we actually are, rather than who we’ve been told to be.

What It’s Like to Work With Me

My work is grounded in eco-therapy and existential exploration, integrating Parts Work, Somatic Therapy, attachment-based approaches, and deep emotional processing — especially when traditional talk therapy falls short.

I’m also influenced by depth psychology and Jungian ideas, drawing on imagination, symbolism, dreams, mythology, and meaning-making as doorways into the unconscious. These approaches aren’t about interpretation or analysis — they’re about listening differently, allowing inner images and patterns to guide integration and change.

This is a space where creativity, spirituality, and “weirdness” are not distractions from healing — they’re often part of the way in. Your inner world is welcome here, in all its complexity.

Healing happens through experience, not just insight. Together, we find approaches that honour how you process, feel, and make meaning.

You don’t need another strategy. You need a way of living that doesn’t cost you yourself.

If you feel called to explore what that might look like — thoughtfully, creatively, and with support — you’re welcome to reach out.
