Rooted & Rising
A small group for mothers of tween and teen girls.
A place to learn, connect, and feel less alone in one of parenting's most challenging seasons.
You're Not Imagining It. This Stage Is Hard.
One day she was your little girl. Now she rolls her eyes, shuts her door, and you're not sure what you said wrong — or how to say anything right.
You want to stay close to her. You want to understand what she's going through. But somewhere between the mood swings, the social drama, and the big feelings nobody warned you about, the distance between you keeps growing.
And the hardest part? You're navigating this mostly alone.
That's exactly why Rooted & Rising exists.
A Bi-Weekly Group Where You Learn, Share, and Breathe
Rooted & Rising meets in-person in Campbell, CA every other week in a small, intimate group of mothers who get it. Each session blends guided discussion, evidence-based parenting strategies, and real conversation — centered around books and resources carefully chosen to help you understand your daughter and yourself.
This is not a lecture. It's not a support group where you vent and leave unchanged. It's an active, thoughtful space where you walk away with real tools and real friendships.
What each session includes:
Guided discussion around our current book or reading
A focused parenting strategy or skill to practice at home
Open conversation and shared wisdom from the group
A warm, judgment-free space facilitated by a licensed therapist
This Group Is For You If…
Your daughter is between ages 10–17 and the relationship feels harder than it used to
You want to understand what she's going through emotionally and developmentally
You're craving connection with other moms who truly understand this phase
You're ready to learn new strategies — not just survive the next few years
You want to feel more confident, more connected, and less alone

-
Each group follows a carefully selected book that gives you a shared language and framework

Led by Someone Who's Been in the Room With Hundreds of Teen Girls
Hi, I'm Rachael Ostrowski — a licensed marriage and family therapist with nearly 20 years of experience working with teen girls, their mothers, and families in transition.
I created Rooted & Rising because I kept seeing the same thing in my practice: moms who were trying so hard, loving so deeply, and still feeling completely lost. They didn't need to be better mothers — they needed better tools, a clearer understanding of this developmental stage, and someone to sit beside them.
That's what this group is. A safe, facilitated space rooted in real clinical knowledge — and genuine human connection.

Spots are limited to keep the group small and connected.
