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

Trauma-Informed Care Starts With Safety Trauma do Trauma-Informed Care Starts With Safety

Trauma doesn’t only live in memories.
It lives in the body, the nervous system, and the ways we learn to protect ourselves.

Trauma-informed therapy recognizes that healing cannot happen without safety first. That means honoring your pace, your boundaries, and your lived experience without pressure to relive or explain what you are not ready to share.

In trauma-informed care, therapists focus on:
• Emotional and physical safety
• Nervous system regulation
• Trust and collaboration
• Empowerment and choice

At Rise Counseling Group, our clinicians are trained to support healing without rushing, retraumatizing, or minimizing your story. We understand that progress looks different for everyone and that stability comes before deep work.

Your healing deserves patience, respect, and care.
