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

❤️‍🩹Helping Black Women & Teens
⛓️‍💥Break unhealthy cycles in relationships
🛑Stop carrying everyone’s emotional weight
📍Accepting clients- OH, IL, KY

Many Black women and teens were taught to hold it Many Black women and teens were taught to hold it all together quietly. To be strong no matter the cost. To keep going even when they are tired.

But admitting you are exhausted is not weakness. It is awareness. It is your body and mind asking for care.

At Rise Counseling Group, we believe you deserve a space where you do not have to perform strength. We offer trauma-informed mental health support that honors your lived experiences and allows room for rest, honesty, and real healing. No pressure. No judgment. Just support that meets you where you are.

You do not have to carry everything alone anymore.
