Resilience Rising: Where Therapy Is Conversational, Collaborative and Authentic

Resilience Rising was created to offer something different in the therapy world—something more human, more relational, and more intentional. Founded in 2019, our practice was born out of the desire to move away from clinical coldness and toward connection. We believe every human being has innate resilience. It's not something you have to earn—it's something you return to. Our work is grounded in authenticity, curiosity, and collaborative healing.

Our Therapists: Real People, Real Experience

Each of our therapists came to this work through a different path. We’ve been in corporate roles, nonprofits, the arts, education, and more. We are single, married, divorced, parents—and people with lived experience. This depth helps us show up in session not just as professionals, but as real people who understand the complexity of being human.

We show up authentically, engage relationally, and offer direct insight when it's helpful. Our goal isn’t to fix you—it’s to partner with you in creating the changes you want to see in your life.

Our Approach: Exploring Patterns, Building Awareness, Taking Action

At Resilience Rising, we work with clients to explore the layers of their emotional experience in a way that feels both grounded and transformative. This process often begins by identifying recurring patterns—thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors that may once have been protective but now limit growth. We gently examine how these patterns have developed and how they influence present relationships, self-worth, and emotional regulation.

There is solace and strength in understanding why you feel the way you do. Still, it’s equally important to engage in action—to break cycles that keep you stuck and move toward a more connected life. Therapy is one hour in 168 hours of a week, so we’re intentional about providing you with tools that support you beyond the session. Whether it’s new ways of thinking, mindfulness strategies, or finding motivation to follow through on your goals, we’ll work together to discover what works best for you.
