Roots Counseling & Wellness

Online Therapy for Washington County, Utah

Roots Counseling & Wellness offers online therapy to people throughout Washington County, Utah, including St. George, Hurricane, Ivins and the smaller towns along SR-9 and SR-18. Sessions happen over secure, HIPAA-compliant video with licensed Utah clinicians. If you would rather sit in the same room, our Cedar City office is about an hour north on I-15.

How telehealth works for Washington County clients

Telehealth at Roots is the same counseling you would receive in our office, just delivered by video. Sessions are the same length as in-person visits, typically 50 minutes. If your internet connection drops partway through, your clinician can switch to a phone call so the conversation can continue.

The one rule to know: you need to be physically in Utah at the time of each session. That is a state licensing requirement, so a session from home in Santa Clara works, and a session from a hotel out of state does not.

Many people find telehealth fits easily into a workday. Our article on online therapy vs. in-person compares the two formats.

Couples counseling for the St. George area

What you can work on by telehealth

Most of our counseling works well over video, including individual, family and teen therapy for ages 10 and up, plus support for anxiety, grief and life transitions. Roots is a DBT center, and we also offer EMDR and IFS. Alternative wellness therapies are in person only.

Coming in person to Cedar City

Some people mix telehealth with an occasional office visit, and others want every session in person. Our only office is at 732 N Main Street in Cedar City, with free on-site parking, and it is about an hour north of the St. George area on I-15.

Getting started

Most first appointments can be scheduled within a week or two. You can ask for a specific clinician or let us match you with someone who fits what you are looking for. Before the first visit, we send intake paperwork by secure email. It takes up to 30 minutes, and you can also finish it on arrival.

We are in-network with many major Utah plans, and self-pay is available. We can confirm whether your insurance is accepted, and it is your responsibility to verify your coverage and benefits with your plan. See our insurance page for the list.
