Rooted Reflections

Hi, I’m Mandy Losito, owner and therapist at Mosaic Roots Counseling. I’m so glad you’ve found your way here.

Starting this blog feels like the right place to introduce myself and share a little about the heart behind Mosaic Roots. My hope is that this space will become a place where I can offer reflections, resources, and encouragement for anyone navigating life’s challenges, healing from the past, or wanting to grow in their relationships.

About Me

I provide individual and couples therapy in Metro Atlanta, drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment-based counseling, and the Gottman Method. My approach is warm, open, and collaborative - I believe the relationship between therapist and client is the foundation for healing.

Outside of sessions, you’ll usually find me traveling, hiking or relaxing by the pool, exploring new restaurants and live music spots with my partner, or spending time with friends and family. I also love video games, reality TV, and sharing virtual sessions with my cat, Gravy (who insists on making himself known from time to time!).

My Journey to Becoming a Therapist

Like many of us, I grew up learning to keep certain parts of myself hidden in order to stay connected to the people I loved. I carried painful messages like “You’re too much” or “You’re a bad person,” and developed strong people-pleasing tendencies that kept me attached to others - but left me feeling disconnected from myself.

I was so good at hiding it! You would never guess I believed these messages by looking at old photos.

Over time, this disconnection showed up as anxiety and a deep sense of unease in my own skin. Therapy helped me begin to listen to my emotions instead of pushing them away. It allowed me to slowly reclaim my authenticity while still nurturing safe, meaningful relationships.

That experience changed my life. I know firsthand how powerful it is to feel seen, accepted, and supported while doing the hard work of healing. That’s why I became a therapist - to help others untangle old stories, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build relationships that feel honest, safe, and alive.

Why Mosaic Roots?

The name Mosaic Roots Counseling reflects what I believe about healing: every part of us matters. Our lives are like mosaics - made up of many different fragments: our history, our struggles, our strengths, and our stories. Each piece has its own color and texture, and together they create something uniquely beautiful.

The “roots” point back to where we come from - our families, cultures, and early experiences, as well as the parts of ourselves that developed to help us survive. In IFS therapy, we honor those parts instead of pushing them away. When we tend to our roots with care and curiosity, we create the stability needed for new growth.

Moving Forward

This blog is one more way for me to walk alongside you. I’ll be sharing thoughts on therapy, relationships, emotional well-being, and ways to reconnect with yourself. My hope is that, whether or not we work together directly, something here can help you feel a little less alone and a little more grounded.

If you’d like to stay connected, I invite you to [join my newsletter] for reflections and resources, or [book a session] if you’re ready to take the next step in your own journey.

Thank you for being here at the start of this blog - I’m excited to share more with you.
