About Me

Welcome to Oak & Ember Counseling, where healing is both grounded and transformative. I’m Roxanna Books, a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate (LCMHC-A) and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist Associate (LCAS-A), and the sole therapist behind this practice.

I provide psychotherapy to adults navigating a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, grief, life transitions, relationship issues, and more. I also specialize in trauma-focused care and am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a highly effective approach for processing and healing from trauma.

My work is designed to create a safe, supportive space where you can explore your story, release what no longer serves you, and rediscover your strength. While my foundation is rooted in evidence-based psychotherapy, I also incorporate holistic practices that address the mind-body connection. Whether it’s exploring mindfulness, grounding techniques, or other integrative approaches, my goal is to support you in healing as a whole person—not just treating symptoms.

At Oak & Ember Counseling, I believe healing is not linear. Like the oak tree, we are rooted in resilience, and like the ember, we carry the spark of transformation within us. Together, we’ll work toward clarity, empowerment, and growth.
