Therapy and Wellness should be accessible to all.

Our Mission is to make that a reality.

Our Mission.


To provide ethical, culturally aware, trauma-informed therapy for everyone, regardless of ability to pay.

To cultivate healing by providing a place of compassionate respite and nurturing the mind-body connection.

To promote wellness in all its forms

To help close the gap in access so that all Chicagoans, including the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, undocumented, and other marginalized communities, can benefit from high-quality yet affordable mental health care.

A continuum of care.

Mental health symptoms can easily make a 40-hour workweek unrealistic, resulting in layoffs and subsequent loss of health insurance. Clients are often unable to afford out-of-pocket fees, and they end up losing the care they need more than ever. How is that conducive to recovery?

A core aspect of our mission is to provide a continuum of care to avoid this all-too-common scenario. By providing consistency in a time of financial uncertainty, Rise Together clients receive the care needed to find stability in all areas of life. Together we rise and break the cycle.

  • We take 100% of the donated funds and directly put them towards individual therapy services, group therapy, trauma informed treatment (EMDR, somatic body work) and wellness initiatives (wilderness experiences, trauma informed yoga, athletics and recreation services)

  • Anyone who is underinsured (state funded instances), unemployed, uninsured, those who would not be eligible or have access to private practice therapeutic services and those making poverty level or lower wages. We are dedicated to the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities, trauma survivors, and anyone waiting in the long line for services that they might otherwise not have access to.

  • Which therapist a client will see is based on the preferences of the client and the availability of the therapist they would feel most comfortable with seeing. Free 20 minute phone consultations with any of our therapists are available in order to ensure that clients feel they have the best fit.

  • All of our counseling and wellness services are offered. Including but not limited to: Individual Therapy, Couples Therapy, Group Therapy, Family Therapy, Trauma Informed Massage Therapy, EMDR, Trauma Informed Yoga Therapy, Personal Training, Reiki, and Wellness Group Activities.
