Roots & Radiance Counseling

Therapy Rooted in Embodiment, Clarity, and Healing

Regina Filomeno, LCSW

Welcome to Roots & Radiance Counseling

At Roots & Radiance Counseling, I offer a place for adults who are ready to slow down and return to themselves. Here, healing is not rushed; it unfolds through presence, curiosity, and the quiet wisdom your body has carried all along. 

My work weaves together somatic therapy, relational attunement, expressive exploration, and trauma-informed care. These approaches help you feel held, grounded, and gently reconnected to your inner knowing. 

Together, we create a space where you can deeply root, soften, breathe, and follow the small threads of truth that lead you back to your own radiance. If you’ve been longing for a space to slow down, reconnect, and heal in an embodied way, you’re welcome here.

As my practice continues to take shape, I’m welcoming those who feel called to this work to join the waitlist for virtual sessions and limited in-person openings in Illinois.

Therapeutic Philosophy

Healing is not about fixing what’s broken, but remembering what has always been whole.

Through an embodied, relational, and compassionate approach, we explore how your body carries stories of both pain and resilience — and how healing becomes possible when we move at the rhythm of your nervous system. Therapy is a sacred space for reconnection. A place to return to yourself. A place where groundedness and radiance can coexist.

“Healing begins when we reconnect with our roots. From that grounded place, our radiance naturally emerges.” ~Regina Filomeno, LCSW
