Mr. Christian Longue Dessug

Licensed Associate Counselor|Clinically Supervised

At Bantu Roots Holistic Healing Center, I integrate somatic mind-body therapy, psychodynamic exploration, and active cultural humility. In our virtual therapy sessions across Texas, clients learn real-time somatic grounding techniques, breathwork, and body awareness strategies to calm acute anxiety and nervous system overload. We pair these real-time tools with psychodynamic reflection to unpack root relational patterns, trauma, and identity stress—all within a space where your cultural context is fully understood without needing translation.

A primary recurring theme among adults, couples, and teens in my Texas practice is systemic workplace burnout coupled with the chronic exhaustion of code-switching and identity stress. Many clients experience anxiety and physical nervous system dysregulation from constantly navigating non-affirming environments. This insight directly shapes my practice at Bantu Roots: we move beyond basic stress management to combine somatic nervous system regulation with culturally grounded care, helping clients set clear boundaries, restore energy, and heal without abandoning their true selves.

Your first telehealth session at Bantu Roots is a warm, unhurried, and collaborative conversation focused on building safety and trust. We explore what brings you to therapy, clarify your goals, and map out your current stress landscape—whether that involves anxiety, burnout, trauma, or relational stress. Instead of a cold or clinical interrogation, you will leave your very first session with actionable somatic grounding tools to start regulating your nervous system immediately, knowing you have an affirming space where you never have to translate your lived experience.
