About Care at Rooted in Serenity
At Rooted in Serenity Behavioral Health, psychiatric care is grounded in compassion and guided by an integrative, trauma-informed approach. Treatment focuses on the whole person — mind, body, and environment — supporting emotional well-being alongside physical health.
Tannia Salazar, APRN, FNP-BC, founder of Rooted in Serenity Behavioral Health, provides outpatient psychiatric medication management for adults. Care commonly addresses ADHD, anxiety, depression, and PMDD, with attention to contributing factors such as sleep, stress, medical conditions, and life context.
Appointments are intentionally paced to allow for thoughtful assessment and collaborative decision-making. Sessions focus on medication evaluation and management, psychoeducation, and clear treatment planning. Care is structured, respectful, and responsive — never rushed or transactional.
With a background in family medicine, Tannia brings a whole-person perspective to psychiatric care, recognizing how physical health, hormones, sleep, and lifestyle factors can influence mental health symptoms. Services are offered through a hybrid model, with secure telehealth available statewide across Connecticut and in-person psychiatric visits in Middlebury, CT.
Healing begins where safety is felt and trust is built. That’s where care begins.

Our Philosophy
At Rooted in Serenity Behavioral Health, we believe effective psychiatric care begins with truly seeing the person in front of us—their story, strengths, and experiences. Our approach blends the science of psychopharmacology with the art of listening, creating space where emotional and physical health are equally valued.
With a background in family medicine, Tannia Salazar, APRN approaches psychiatric care through a wider lens—considering how factors like sleep, stress, nutrition, hormones, and overall wellness contribute to mental health. This integrative perspective ensures that care feels comprehensive, grounded, and sustainable.
Because no two people are alike, treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Our philosophy is collaborative, holistic, and validating:
Collaborative — decisions are made together, not for you.
Holistic — care considers labs, physical health, life context, culture, and mental well-being.
Validating — you deserve to feel heard, respected, and understood in every interaction.
Above all, psychiatry should be compassionate and accessible. Whether through medication management, reviewing medical contributors to symptoms, or working alongside therapists and primary care providers, our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel grounded and can move toward growth.
