Introducing myself…
My name is Haley Bell and I am the owner of Rooted Together Therapy. I am a speech language pathologist (SLP) who has been practicing in St. Louis city and county since 2017. I have very well-rounded clinical experiences—medical, private practice, elementary and secondary educational setting, early intervention, and multidisciplinary diagnostic teams working alongside psychologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, neurologists, pediatricians, school teams, social workers, etc.
These systems have provided me with knowledge, experience, and trainings that have transformed me as a therapist. However, they are systems dedicated to “fixing” versus understanding. We are all variants of the human continuum in search of connection, purpose, belonging, and power.
I have dedicated my career and this practice to building awareness, meaningful connections, and overall communication amongst all children and their families. I believe that connection and safety are the foundations to all areas of development. Together with my clients, we build a relationship on trust where we can exist as our truest selves and foster life-long confidence and advocacy skills.
