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

This Black History Month, we honor Dr. Joy DeGruy, This Black History Month, we honor Dr. Joy DeGruy, trailblazing scholar, educator, and author of Post-Traumatic Slave Syndrome. Her groundbreaking work shows how centuries of slavery, oppression, and systemic racism have created multigenerational trauma in Black communities, trauma that impacts mental health, identity, and self-worth even today.

Dr. DeGruy reminds us that healing is not just personal, it is political. Understanding the legacy of oppression, reclaiming our culture, and nurturing our minds are acts of resistance and liberation. For Black communities, caring for our mental health is a radical and necessary step toward freedom.

At Rise Counseling Group, we honor this legacy by providing trauma-informed, culturally competent therapy for Black women, teens, and college students. We believe that mental wellness is inseparable from identity, culture, and lived experience. Healing is about more than surviving, it’s about reclaiming joy, dignity, and power.

This Black History Month, prioritize your mental health, embrace your resilience, and remember: healing is revolutionary.

Boundaries help you protect your mental and emotional health without guilt. They’re not about pushing people away; they’re about honoring your needs and creating healthier relationships.

At Rise Counseling Group, we support Black women, teens, and college students in learning how to set boundaries with confidence, compassion, and clarity without shame or fear.
