About Us

Arise Therapy was borne out of the belief that phases are an instrumental aspect of life. Think about it, we see phases represented throughout nature daily: the waxing and waning of the moon, the life cycle of a plant, the ebb and flow of the waves in the ocean, the cycle of everchanging seasons, and the rise and fall of the tides. Even on a genetic level, the dendrites of neurons both shrink and grow. How then, could we ever expect to go throughout life without this vacillation? If one of the most beautiful creations to exist exhibits patterns of evolution and change, so must we! We believe that our humanness is rooted in being motivated toward growth and restoration and that in that process, there likely will be some friction, resistance, or feelings of stuckness, confusion, and uncertainty. That’s where we step in and help you navigate whatever phase you find yourself in. 

In the midst of our inevitable phases, we further belief in the power of choice, autonomy, authenticity, hope, and dialectics. We believe you are both completely wonderful as your most authentic self and, simultaneously, have the capacity for growth and evolution. Additionally, we believe that you are the expert of your life and the navigator of your therapy. Our clinicians are simply in the passenger seat equipping you with new tools to arrive at your destination and cheering you on throughout the journey! We further believe that we, as clinicians, are dynamic and everchanging. Therefore, our clinicians consistently seek out every opportunity to stay on top of the latest research and trainings. 

Arise Therapy adheres to an individualized, flexible approach to care that is a beautiful tapestry of deep, meaningful conversations which are informed by evidence-based practices. While cultural competency implies mastery, it underscores our core belief: that we are ever-changing and evolving. Therefore, we take the approach of cultural humility and genuine curiosity, that is “you are the expert of your experience and worldview.” We pride ourselves on continually cultivating a team of trauma-informed, diverse clinicians who approach your life experiences with cultural humility and a lens of intersectionality. Finally, our clinicians have been trained as generalists, meaning they are equipped to address a vast variety of concerns, including but not limited to, general life stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidality, substance use, grief and bereavement, self-esteem, relationship concerns, adjustment-related issues, and many more. Any additional specializations have been chosen by clinicians strictly based on passion; therefore, you can expect to feel their devotion electrifying every session.

Finally, one core tenet of our therapy practice is the excellence to pursue serving those who have served. Our practice is Veteran-centric and committed to Active Duty and First Responders/EMS, valuing those who currently serve or have served in the US Armed Forces or fire departments. As such, we have required all of our clinicians to take trainings specific to our Veteran/service member population, and offer a discounted rate for our first responders, service members, and Veterans. More specifically, if you are a Veteran, we want to take the opportunity to extend a wholehearted thank you for defending the freedoms we are afforded. We only hope that we can serve you the way you have served us. 

If you have made it this far, we hope you can tell: 

WE LOVE WHAT WE DO & WE CAN’T WAIT TO WORK WITH YOU!
