Play Therapy is an evidence-based approach: Play is the language of children. It is also the primary way that they process their world and how they fit into it. According to the Association for Play Therapy, “Play Therapy is a powerful tool for addressing cognitive, behavioral and emotional challenges.” Play Therapy is effective in addressing emotional dysregulation resulting from bullying, divorce, grief, abandonment, abuses of all kinds, crisis situations and trauma. The therapists uses the child’s fantasies and the symbolic meaning of his or her play as a medium for understanding and communication with the child.
Talk Therapy is appropriate for children who have the ability to verbally articulate their thoughts, experiences and needs and to adaptively process with their therapists. We utilize interventions that include CBT, DBT skills, Behavior Modification, and Psychoeducation to reduce distresses such as: Anxiety, ADHD, other learning disabilities, Depression, Academic/Social functioning, Physical Health challenges as well as abuse, trauma, and family environmental challenges.

Today’s adolescents are learning how to navigate a world that, at times, moves faster than their emotional and psychological development can keep up with. In addition to stressors of the larger world, they are navigating hormonal shifts, body changes, social pressures, changes in family dynamics, and the pressures of academia. We at RISE specialize in many disorders that arise in adolescence – such as anxiety, depression, body dysmorphia, eating disorders, substance use and abuse. We understand that teenagers need a safe place to make sense of a chaotic world and we pride ourselves in our ability to offer that to our clients.

Pregnancy and child birth can bring about unexpected physical and mental changes, Symptoms of perinatal mood and anxiety disorders can appear during pregnancy and last up to a year after delivery. Symptoms such as irritability, anger, depression, and overwhelm are often dismissed and minimized creating shame, which that often prevents parents from getting the help that they need. These symptoms, and many others, can indicate more serious illnesses such as Maternity and Postpartum Anxiety/Depression, Postpartum Psychosis, Bipolar Disorder, Postpartum OCD, or Postpartum PTSD.

Navigating a season of divorce and separation in a family is challenging. Every member of the family is impacted, adjusting, and grieving. This process is complicated because everyone is processing the stages of grief at different stages and at different times. Making informed and healthy decisions to move forward is especially challenging.

Trauma Processing
RISE therapists understand the importance of a trauma informed approach to therapy. At Rise we understand the critical nature of building a trusting therapeutic relationship and providing a safe space for clients to courageously process impactful life events of all kinds. Trauma processing focuses on assisting clients to manage, decrease, or eliminate psychological and emotional distress from memories, experiences and their debilitating emotional impact that can significantly affect functioning. Our therapists understand the sensitive nature of this work, as well as the courage it takes to address this pain. We offer several evidence-based approaches to process trauma as we customize the program to meet each client’s needs.

Many of our RISE therapists are trained and certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a specialty approach for trauma. EMDR is a non-drug, non-hypnosis psychotherapy process. The therapists guides the client in concentrating on a troubling memory or emotion while moving the eyes rapidly back and forth or using another Dual Attention Stimulus. Complete treatment of the targets involves an 8-phase, 3-pronged protocol that includes processing of memories, present disturbances, and creation of a future template. All three components are needed to alleviate the symptoms and address the targeted disturbance.
The goal of EMDR therapy is to facilitate the effective reprocessing of traumatic events or adverse life experiences and associated beliefs, to an adaptive resolution. Reprocessing includes setting up a learning state that will allow adverse experiences and maladaptive emotionality to be integrated and stored appropriately in your brain. The goal of EMDR therapy is to leave you with the emotions, understanding, and perspectives that will lead to healthy emotional responses, behaviors and interactions.
EMDR is used to treat troubling symptoms such as anxiety, depression, guilt, anger, and post- traumatic reactions. It can also be used to enhance emotional resources such as confidence and self- esteem.
You are always fully conscious and have the power/control to stop the session at any time. The therapists serves as a guide to help you stay on track and get the most out of session. The therapists will provide or reinforce positive coping skills, resources and ways to manage high emotionality that may be useful both in and out of session, should the need arise.
This approach is safe and effective for both children and adults.

Somatic and body work techniques are focused on healing physiological responses to trauma. Our bodies often hold unprocessed trauma that can create muscle pain, anxiety, and tension. Techniques such as grounding, progressive muscle relaxation, visualization, meditation, ect, are used to target the autonomic nervous system to release physical discomfort.
Somatic therapy, in contrast, is a holistic therapy that focuses on how both the mind and body are impacted by psychological experiences. Somatic therapists work with clients on noticing how past trauma is held in the body and work with their clients to process their trauma somatically. We may ask clients to slow-down, to break their difficult story down into smaller pieces, and to assess their emotional and physiological reaction as they discuss difficult events or emotions. This process allows for optimal healing and resolution as the mind and body have time to work in tandem.
