At Resilient Roots Counseling, we believe healing begins when individuals feel seen, heard, and supported. Our mission is to provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy that helps adults navigate life's challenges while building resilience, confidence, and emotional well-being.

We understand that seeking support can feel overwhelming. Whether you're experiencing anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply feeling stuck, therapy can provide a safe space to explore your experiences and move toward meaningful change.

Our approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and tailored to your unique needs. We work collaboratively with clients to identify goals, develop practical coping strategies, and build upon the strengths they already possess.

Through telehealth services available throughout California, we are committed to making quality mental health care accessible, supportive, and empowering.

Where healing takes root and growth begins. 🌿

About Resilient Roots Counseling

Meet Your Therapist

Hello,

I'm Dr. Chiana J. Ghant, DSW, LCSW, M.A., founder of Resilient Roots Counseling.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, educator, and psychotherapist dedicated to helping adults navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and self-compassion. I believe that healing occurs when individuals feel supported, empowered, and equipped with the tools needed to create meaningful change.

My educational background includes a Doctor of Social Work (DSW), a Master of Social Work (MSW), and a Master of Arts (M.A) in Conflict Resolution, Negotiation, and Peacebuilding. This interdisciplinary training allows me to bring a unique perspective to therapy, helping clients navigate not only personal challenges but also relationship dynamics, communication difficulties, conflict, and major life transitions.

In addition to private practice, I serve as a college professor and have extensive experience working in healthcare, mental health, and community settings. My work has included supporting individuals facing anxiety, stress, burnout, life transitions, and the emotional demands of caregiving and helping professions.

My therapeutic approach is evidence-based, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally responsive. I work collaboratively with clients to identify patterns, build coping strategies, strengthen resilience, and create sustainable pathways toward healing and growth.

I have a special interest in supporting:

  • Anxiety and stress management

  • Burnout and compassion fatigue

  • Women's mental health

  • Life transitions and adjustment challenges

  • Self-esteem and personal growth

  • Relationship and communication concerns

  • Caregiver and helping-professional wellness

As a first-generation professional, educator, mother, and therapist, I understand the complexities of balancing multiple responsibilities while caring for others. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients can reconnect with themselves, strengthen their sense of purpose, and move forward with confidence.
