About Me
I’m Roua Eltayeib, a licensed marriage and family therapist and a Sudanese Muslim American. I know what it feels like to navigate layered identities—when parts of yourself shift, fade, or go unrecognized, and you’re longing for clarity, grounding, and a sense of rootedness. I’ve carried these experiences myself, and they shape how I approach therapy: with deep empathy, cultural awareness, and a commitment to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore who you truly are.
I work with Black and/or Muslim women who are burning out under pressure or questioning their identity, and career-driven Muslim couples preparing for marriage or in the early years of marriage, guiding them through high-stakes moments with intention and care. Together, we uncover patterns that no longer serve you, explore what matters most, and step into a fuller, more aligned version of yourself or your partnership. Therapy with me is a collaborative space for reflection, growth, and rewriting the narratives that weigh on you.
My Practice
Rooted Change reflects the heart of my work: growth that comes from understanding your roots. Change isn’t about surface-level fixes—it begins with uncovering where patterns, beliefs, and challenges originate, and cultivating awareness, resilience, and intention from that foundation.
At Rooted Change MFT, my work is focused on helping clients reconnect with themselves and their relationships in ways that feel authentic and aligned. Whether you’re exploring your identity, navigating emotional challenges, or strengthening connection in your partnership, therapy with me is about creating lasting, meaningful transformation from the ground up.
Here, you’ll find a space to show up fully, reflect without judgment, and prioritize your growth and well-being. Rooted understanding leads to real change—the kind that empowers you to rewrite old narratives, strengthen relationships, and step into a life that reflects who you truly are, even under pressure or in moments of crisis.
