Our mission is to create a peaceful, culturally affirming space where Black women therapists can experience deep rest, communal exhale, and embodied restoration without expectation, performance, or emotional labor. We believe rest is sacred. Rest is ancestral. Rest is necessary for sustainability. Black women therapists deserve to be cared for, not just relied upon.

Dr. LaDonna Smith is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and co owner of Be Rooted Therapy. Her work centers on attachment, relational healing, and culturally affirming care for individuals, couples, and families.
As a Black woman clinician, Dr. Smith understands the emotional labor that Black women therapists carry in the therapy room, in their communities, and often in their personal lives. She is deeply committed to creating spaces where Black women can rest without performing, soften without explaining, and be held without having to hold others.
Rested & Rooted reflects her belief that restoration is not indulgent. It is essential.

Rested & Rooted was created to offer Black women clinicians the kind of peace that allows them to return to themselves, grounded, replenished, and deeply rooted.
