About Us

Annie Novotny LCPC, ATR, founded Roots and Rays with the goal of collaborative healing. Viewing art therapy as creativity empowered, she endeavors to serve as a supportive guide, creating a safe, yet brave space for those in need. She imparts these values upon each of Roots and Rays’s therapists to ensure comprehensive care to each of their clients.

Roots and Rays strives to offer a creative and collaborative approach to therapy and healing. We specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and stress. This approach Incorporates Creative Expressive Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and Somatic Work with mindfulness and meditative practices.

At its seed, Roots and Rays is a testament to the healing powers of creativity.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things,
