Root & Bloom Therapy 

Therapy for Adults in California: People-pleasing, perfectionism & postpartum

From the outside, you look like you have it all together. You know how to get what you want, but somehow it never feels the way you hoped it would. Rather than enjoying the fruits of your labor, you’re anxious, overwhelmed, and disconnected—from your body, your joy, maybe even your sense of who you are. Whether you’re adjusting to new motherhood, navigating high-functioning anxiety, or caught in the grip of perfectionism, you’re exhausted from holding it all together, all the time.

Therapy is a space to pause and begin to understand this inherent truth: you are already enough, without all the outside proof. Together, we’ll dig down to your roots, lovingly tending to them to discover your voice, your truth, and your authenticity.

You don’t need to be fixed. You just need space to be, and learn to trust that you already have what you need to bloom into your most authentic, aligned, and fulfilled self.

Meet Haylie

Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. My name is Haylie O’Hanlon, LCSW, PMH-C, and I am the owner of Root & Bloom Therapy.

My mission is to provide compassionate, empowering therapy to guide you home to yourself. Having sat with clients for years as they have struggled with perfectionism, anxiety, and people-pleasing, as well as living through my own experience with those challenges, I get it. The relentless pursuit of the next goal is exhausting - the feeling of relief, rather than rejoicing, that comes from achievements, and the immediate worry about what comes next. The struggle to experience self-trust and self-compassion, repeatedly outsourcing intuition and validation to external sources can be maddening. It is difficult to be still when it feels like the other shoe is about to drop right when things get good.

As a mom myself, I understand what the death of that high-achieving identity feels like when you’ve lost all control of a schedule, the thought of cleaning the house AND showering feels insurmountable, and every night you fall into bed exhausted but you can’t name one productive thing you did. (Reminder: you kept a child alive. That’s damn impressive.)

On the other side of our work is the rebirth of a brand new identity - a shift into a regulated nervous system, a nourished body and mind, truly supportive and connective relationships, a sense of deep self-compassion, self-trust, and a knowing that your self-worth lies in being, not doing. I help busy, anxious, high-achievers (and the ones who become parents) break free from the constant pursuit of achievement and find peace and grounding within. Through our work together, you’ll learn to reconnect with your inner wisdom, reclaim your voice, foster more meaningful relationships, and live with greater authenticity and self-trust.

Based in Los Angeles, I provide virtual therapy throughout California. Rooted in a holistic approach, I integrate mindfulness, parts work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and body-based awareness to support the whole person—not just the symptoms. Together, we gently explore the patterns that keep you stuck, foster compassion for the parts of you that no longer serve your highest good, and create space for healing, clarity, and lasting change. This is a space where all of you is welcome.
