Welcome to Root-based Healing, a specialty psychotherapy practice, founded by Iris Queen, offering trauma-responsive psychotherapy for women on Bainbridge Island.

Many women spend years carrying the responsibilities of raising children, building careers, maintaining relationships, caring for parents, volunteering, and leading organizations while quietly struggling with the impact of trauma—which can be obvious and immediately recognizable, or subtle, cumulative, and difficult to name.


Regardless of how trauma has shown up, its impact can shape every aspect of your life, even when you appear to be functioning well on the outside. Psychotherapy at Root-based healing responds to that trauma by tending to your distress, accessing the roots of your experience, and working forward from there.


If this resonates with your experience, allow Iris to support you. Let’s work together.
