Question 1

Is Rooted therapy?

Accepted Answer

No, and we're careful about the distinction. Rooted is relationship education, designed by a licensed marriage and family therapist but offering no diagnosis, treatment, or clinical care. Some members use it between sessions with their own therapist. Many use it hoping they never need one.

Question 2

Can I use Rooted on my own?

Accepted Answer

Yes — about half of members start alone, and it works. You cannot change a relationship by yourself, but you can change your half of it, and that shifts more than people expect. If a partner joins later, everything you've built comes with you.

Question 3

How much time does it take?

Accepted Answer

About 10 minutes on a normal day: your ROOTED Check-In, today's growth, and a short relationship inventory. Longer conversations and lessons are there for the evenings you have room for them, and they wait patiently when you don't.

Question 4

Do I need to download an app?

Accepted Answer

No. Couples Rooted works directly from your phone, tablet, or computer — no app download required. Just sign in through your browser and your Rooted experience is ready wherever you are.

Question 5

What makes it evidence-informed?

Accepted Answer

Everything here traces back to established relationship science — attachment research, emotionally focused approaches, Gottman-informed repair, and what we know about how habits actually form. The research stays in the background; what reaches you is plain language and something to try tonight.

Question 6

Can my partner see my private reflections?

Accepted Answer

No. Individual reflections remain private. Rooted only shares relationship insights that protect each person's privacy — the shared pattern between you, never each other's words.

Question 7

What is Rooted Intelligence?

Accepted Answer

Rooted Intelligence is the personalization behind the experience: it learns from what you choose to share, helps surface patterns over time, personalizes insights, and guides which lesson comes next. It uses artificial intelligence and other software systems to do that — it is relationship education, never diagnosis, treatment, or clinical evaluation.

Question 8

Does Rooted replace therapy?

Accepted Answer

No. Rooted is relationship education and daily relationship practice. It is designed to strengthen healthy relationship habits — not to diagnose or treat mental health conditions.

Question 9

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it matters more here than in most apps. Your reflections, assessments, and Guide conversations belong to your account alone. Nothing reaches a shared dashboard unless you send it there.

Question 10

What happens after the free trial?

Accepted Answer

You continue on the $25 monthly membership, or you do nothing at all and it quietly ends. There is no card on file, so there is nothing to cancel and nothing to catch you out.

Question 11

Will I ever have to pay extra to unlock features?

Accepted Answer

No. Rooted is one membership. Everything we build is included in your membership. There are no premium tiers, paid feature upgrades, or hidden fees.
