Care that meets you where you are—Common Roots is a mental health wellness app made with tools made to support you.

Our mission is to ensure individuals feel empowered, supported, and never alone, ultimately helping to destigmatize mental health within the community as they embrace their struggles and personal growth. We want to see a future where mental well-being is openly embraced and fully supported within the Asian community, and every individual confidently navigates their journey feeling empowered, connected, and never alone.

Meet the Founder

Founded in 2020 by Michelle Ta, Common Roots grew out of her personal journey navigating mental health and the systemic barriers she encountered along the way.

Recognizing that many in her community faced similar challenges without accessible support, Michelle was driven to create change. She partnered with designers, engineers, and advocates who shared a vision of building a mental wellness space grounded in care, inclusivity, and accessibility.

Together, they brought Common Roots to life—a platform designed to uplift, empower, and support Asian adults in prioritizing their well-being within a community that truly sees and understands them.
