The Rooted Heart Team

Angela Larmer

Founder

I provide evidence-based mental health services to individuals across Ontario, offering psychotherapy within a trauma-informed, grief-informed, client-centered framework, supporting a range of concerns including post-traumatic stress, trauma related symptoms, grief, loss and life transitions, phobias and work related stress. I am passionate about helping first responders and veterans.

I am a trauma-informed, culturally responsive psychotherapist and registered nurse with over 25 years' experience in supporting individuals in a holistic person centered way. I believe that people heal by looking at ‘what has happened’ to them and not with a lens of ‘what is wrong’ with them.

Together we will explore how your past is present in your daily behaviours, thoughts and beliefs. I integrate therapy with a wide range of approaches that focus on stabilization and safety, working through and processing acute and complex trauma symptoms, emotions and memories so that you can live a life that feels more connected and joyful.

I have a strong interest in mental health and enjoy being part of a supportive, welcoming environment for clients. In my role, I help with the day-to-day running of the practice and aim to make each interaction a positive and comfortable experience. I’m passionate about continuing to learn and grow in this field, with the long-term goal of helping others through meaningful, compassionate work.
