Interview with Kristina Scaglione
This week, we welcome Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R to the podcast!
Co Founder & Clinical Director | Trauma-Informed Therapist | Holistic Innovator | LGBTQIA+ Advocate
Kristina Scaglione is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the innovative founder of Root & Rise Clinical Specialists and Limitless Integrative Wellness, home of the Mind Spa™—a groundbreaking collective redefining therapy and wellness. Known for her straightforward approach, Kristina combines firm accountability with radical compassion, guiding clients toward lasting transformation through her unique Mental Wealth-Care™ philosophy. Mental Wealth-Care™ redefines traditional self-care by treating your mind as your most valuable asset—something to be intentionally nurtured, protected, and cultivated. It’s about investing in your emotional and psychological well-being with the same dedication as your financial health, fostering lasting balance, clarity, and fulfillment.
With over 14 years of experience, Kristina is recognized for integrating evidence-based psychotherapy with holistic, creative, and somatic techniques. She is trained in EMDR and certified in DBT, EFT, and Advanced Holistic Counseling, working with adults, couples, and LGBTQIA+ individuals who seek genuine, lasting change. Her sessions are clear, empowering, and focused on results—centered on authenticity, independence, and meaningful human connection.
Before founding her practices, Kristina earned her B.S. in Criminal Justice from Northeastern University, where she co-developed youth gang intervention programs, LGBTQIA+ mentoring services, and an LGBTQIA+ suicide hotline. She later obtained her MSW from Stony Brook University, focusing on macro social work, psychopharmacology, CBT, and crisis intervention.
Through Root & Rise, Kristina and her co-founder Julie Stark have built a boutique psychotherapy practice known for precision, creativity, and heart. With Limitless Integrative Wellness, she expanded that mission into a multidisciplinary “Mind Spa” environment—where mental health intersects with movement, mindfulness, medicine, and modern healing practices under one roof. The collective brings together therapists, wellness professionals, fitness experts, and creative healers in a space designed to support mind, body, and spirit.
At the core, Kristina believes that healing isn’t one-dimensional—and neither are we. Her approach goes beyond traditional therapy limits, empowering clients and clinicians alike to prioritize their Mental Wealth-Care™ and push past boundaries.
