Our Cedar City Counseling Office
Roots Counseling & Wellness has one office, and it is in Cedar City, Utah, at 732 N Main Street. We offer in-person individual, couples, family, and teen counseling, DBT skills groups, and alternative wellness therapies, with free on-site parking right outside. To schedule, call (435) 233-2240 Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM.
Where We Are
You can find us at 732 N Main Street, Cedar City, UT 84721. The office is easy to reach from anywhere in town or from I-15.
Parking is free and on site, so there is no meter to feed or block to circle.
Hours and How Scheduling Works
Our front desk and phones are staffed Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Morning and evening appointments can be scheduled by request, which many clients find helpful around work, classes, or family life.
New clients can usually get a first appointment within a week or two. You can ask for a specific clinician, or we can match you with someone based on what you are hoping to work on. To get started, call (435) 233-2240, email info@rootscw.com, or reach out through our contact page.
What to Expect on Your First Visit
Before you arrive
We send intake paperwork by secure email ahead of your first appointment. It takes up to 30 minutes and covers your contact information, insurance, a brief background, and consent. If you do not get to it beforehand, you can complete it when you arrive.
When you get here
Park in our free lot and check in at the front desk. If you still have paperwork to finish, arrive a little early.
Your session
Sessions typically last 50 minutes. The first one is mostly a conversation about what brought you in and what you hope counseling can help with. You set the pace. For more detail, read our guide to preparing for your first counseling session.
Matching with a clinician
Our team includes licensed clinicians (CMHC, LCSW, and MFT), supervised interns, and skills coaches. If the fit does not feel right, tell us.
Everything We Offer in Person
Counseling for individuals, couples, and families
We offer individual counseling, couples and marriage counseling, family counseling, and group therapy. Roots is a Gottman Relationship Checkup Approved Member, and our couples work draws on approaches like EFT and the Gottman Method. Clinicians also use EMDR, IFS, trauma-informed, and mindfulness-based approaches for concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress and burnout, and life transitions.
DBT skills groups
Roots is a DBT center, and most of our clinicians use DBT in their work. You can join a DBT skills group on its own or pair it with individual counseling. Our Youth DBT group is for ages 14 to 18. New to DBT? Start with What Is DBT?
Teen therapy
We see teens ages 10 and up. Teen therapy gives young people a space of their own, with parents involved in ways that fit the family.
Alternative wellness therapies
Our alternative wellness therapies (steam, aromatherapy, and chromotherapy) are offered in person only.
Evaluations, assessments, and letters
We provide court-ordered evaluations, mental health assessments, and ESA letters. Anger management is available individually or in a group, with a certificate of completion.

Some plans are limited to certain clinicians, so mention your plan when you call. See our insurance page for the current list.

When Coming In Is Not Practical
Telehealth therapy lets you meet with your clinician by secure, HIPAA-compliant video from anywhere in Utah, with the same session length as in person. You need to be physically in Utah at the time of the session, and if the connection drops, your clinician can switch to phone. Compare the two in Online Therapy vs. In-Person.
If you are in crisis, call or text 988, or call 911.
