At Rise and Thrive Wellness we believe that the way each person chooses to respond to stressors in their life is very personal.

Change occurs within the context of relationships and we strive to create a therapeutic space for each client to co-create a space that allows them to work towards the healing change they desire. Therapists at Rise and Thrive Wellness are specialized in a variety of areas and continue to further their expertise through annual conferences and trainings.

At Rise and Thrive Wellness we believe that people experience life within the context of relationships. The goal of couples counseling is to reduce stress, increase healthy communication and build intimacy. Couples can seek therapy for a variety of reasons, and do not need to wait until they are struggling. Great times to seek couples counseling include: · times of transition (like marriage, children, grief/loss, job changes, etc…), · relationship distress over a specific topic or decision, · to improve your communication with your partner. Couples Counseling requires the ability to remain neutral and supportive as couples learn healthy ways to communicate.

Trauma-Informed therapy is rooted in creating safety for clients who have experienced traumatic events, whether a single incident or recurring complex trauma over their lifetime. In some cases trauma can result in Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and in other instances it can result in symptoms that impact a client’s ability to function daily. Regardless of the level of impact what we know is that trauma has a lasting impact on the mind and body. Rise and Thrive therapists are trauma-informed and use a variety of techniques to approach clients’ healing work; always seeking to provide safety while helping clients develop the skills they need to integrate their experiences and respond to triggers in healthy ways.

MBSR helps clients learn to manage discomfort, both physical and emotional. Cognitive evaluation tools and meditation practices combine to bring deeper awareness and understanding both of the individual and the world and others around them.
