At Roots & Resilience Consulting, we are grounded in the belief that resilience is cultivated—through adversity, insight, and intentional growth. Founded by Lorissa Talavera, a first-generation African American woman with a dual background in law and clinical psychology, our practice brings a rare and powerful perspective to the consulting space.

The founder, Lorissa has walked a unique journey—first earning her Juris Doctor and later answering a deeper calling to support others through mental health advocacy. Her transition into the field of psychology was inspired by a desire to not only understand the systems that shape people’s lives, but to help heal the emotional wounds those systems can leave behind.

From her lived experience and professional training, Lorissa created Roots & Resilience Consulting to offer strategic, trauma-informed guidance to individuals and organizations navigating change. Whether you're facing a legal, personal, or organizational transition, we are here to help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and care.
