Thank you for taking the time to visit my website. My name is Ted Dobbert, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Massachusetts, with over 8 years of experience working in residential, community and outpatient settings. I offer tele-health therapy appointments to anyone in the state of Massachusetts and I'm in the process of becoming licensed in Connecticut. 

I chose the name Rooted in Balance, for two main reasons:

1. I am a strong believer that when we are able to strike a balance between what we "have" to do and what we "want" to do, we find life more fulfilling and meaningful.

2. I grew up in a small town in Vermont and I have always found nature to be both healing and a great source of inspiration, and wanted to stay true to that.

My goal is always to meet my clients where they are at, in their journey toward creating a more fulfilling life. I utilize a person-centered and strengths based approach to assist clients with unlocking current tools and resilience within, and applying these to present challenges/stressors.

I am a proponent of mind/body approaches and keeping things simple, in striving toward overall wellness.

In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors with my wife and two dogs.
