Welcome

Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes, even the strongest girlies need a little bit of help to work through some of life’s more challenging problems. Everyone has battles to fight and hurdles to overcome at some point. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, or any other issue, you should know there is hope for a better tomorrow.

Rise Counseling Group is a social justice based private practice in Dayton, OH, and the first of its kind! We focus on improving the mental health and wellness of Black women & teen girls, and other women of color by doing therapy at the many intersections of life that can impact our mental health- race, gender, sexuality, ability, social injustice, and so on! We offer space to heal and have hope when dealing with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and life’s ups and downs. We believe in “having the conversation” to help clients be released from the junk they carry with them day to day as women, daughters, sisters, mothers, and partners.


Holding the Space for you to Heal

If you’re asking yourself if therapy is for you, rest assured that therapy can help you with many challenges. Seeking help doesn’t mean you aren’t strong. It means you are smart and take ownership of your life.

Please note we are a small private practice that is growing. If you call to schedule and get our voicemail, please leave your name, contact information, and a brief description of what service/which provider you are interested in. Your phone call will be returned within 24-48 business hours.  Alternatively, you can request services HERE!
We look forward to working with you! Thank you. ~D

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a t June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, a time to dedicate focus to the well-being of the men in our lives, fathers, brothers, partners, friends, and colleagues.

For too long, societal pressures have told men that vulnerability is weakness, that asking for help is a failure, and that they must be stoic pillars of strength at all times. This silence is hurting our communities.

At Rise Counseling Group, we provide a safe, confidential space for men to untangle the pressure, navigate life's challenges, and build resilience. Whether you are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or simply feeling overwhelmed, you don’t have to do it alone.

Let’s start the conversation today. Check in on a friend, or take that first step for yourself.

Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of liberation, r Juneteenth is a powerful reminder of liberation, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward true freedom.

For Black communities, freedom is not only historical it is emotional, mental, and generational. Healing from trauma, reclaiming rest, and prioritizing mental health are all part of that freedom.

At Rise Counseling Group, we are committed to creating spaces where Black women and teens can feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.

Today, we honor the past and continue the work of healing in the present.
