As a business founded by a social worker, Root + Evolve is committed to social work’s core values.

  • We seek to serve other clinicians and our community by bringing relevant continuing education to other practitioners.
  • When we learn together we can increase our competency and bring the best care to our clients and communities.
  • We strive to act with integrity. 
  • We believe in the importance of human relationships. People are at the center of what we do.
  • We know that dignity and worth is inherent to ALL people.
  • We are deeply committed to social justice. Diversity strengthens us all.
  • We are affirming and welcoming of all people, particularly those who are vulnerable and oppressed, including people of color and those in the LGBTQIA+ community.

Let’s Evolve Together

We are passionate about evidence-based clinical practice. We want to provide continuing education that is:

  • Relevant to you and your practice
  • Based on the most up-to-date peer-reviewed research and best practices
  • Interesting and dynamic; or at least not boring!

One of the most powerful statements is: Me too. 

Life changes when we no longer feel alone. We believe learning should be like that too.

Humans need other humans. Let’s connect.

About Our Logo

What’s with the two birds in the tree?

Dr. Neill says:

I believe that we are who we are because of the people and experiences that have shaped our lives (for better or worse). Two of the most influential people in my life were my grandparents – Mimi and Gramps. Mimi loved cardinals, and it is said that when you see a cardinal in your yard, someone is visiting you from Heaven. Gramps’ nickname was Jaybird, so he’s represented by this blue bird here. 

When I was looking for a space to expand both my group therapy practice and establish Root + Evolve, I was waiting outside of a building I was hoping to move into when I saw a cardinal and a blue jay in a tree next to us. It felt like a sign from my grandparents that this was the right direction for me. I knew that day they had to be a small part of R+E and I wanted them in the logo’s tree.
