At RRR, the practice understands that mental health is just as important as physical health, which is why it offers personal, comprehensive care that supports the whole child.
The approach combines traditional therapeutic methods, medication management, and holistic interventions like nutrition and mindfulness, all tailored to meet the unique needs of each child.

"Resilience is silent & deep, like roots.
It doesn’t announce itself.
It doesn’t explode itself.
It doesn’t fall.
It doesn’t break.
It simply always is.
And you are."
— Victoria Erickson, Author, Edge of Wonder
Fees:
At Richmond Resilient Roots, PLLC, we don't accept insurance, which means we charge for services as they're provided, and payment is due at the time of your visit.
By not working with insurance, we can focus on providing the best, most personalized care without having to follow insurance rules. This also lets us work more closely with other professionals, especially when helping younger clients, to make sure the treatment is effective and long-lasting.
If you're using insurance, we can give you a superbill — a detailed receipt of your visit that you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
We also make things easier by offering the option to keep a card on file and can provide monthly superbills if you need them. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions — we’re here to assist you!
