Rising Pines Counseling Services

Rooted in Strength. Growing Through Healing.

At Rising Pines Counseling Services, we believe every person holds the power to heal, grow, and rise above life’s challenges. Our practice was founded with one simple but profound mission to make therapy feel safe, approachable, and deeply human.

Founded in 2025, Rising Pines Counseling Services, A Licensed Clinical Social Worker Professional Corporation, began as a vision to create a therapy space where warmth meets professionalism and evidence-based care is delivered with compassion. What started as a solo practice has grown into a trusted counseling service dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families find peace, clarity, and balance. The name Rising Pines symbolizes resilience, renewal, and growth, the strength to bend without breaking, and the courage to stand tall again after life’s storms. Just like the pine tree that stays evergreen through every season, we believe in helping our clients build lasting emotional resilience that endures through life’s ups and downs.

We specialize in trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy, integrating methods like EMDR, CBT, DBT, and mindfulness practices to help clients move beyond anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Each session is personalized to meet the client’s emotional goals and never follows a one-size-fits-all all approach.

Our ultimate goal is to expand into a group practice that upholds our founding values of integrity, inclusivity, and empathy. We envision building a team of skilled clinicians who share a passion for mental health, accessibility, and social impact, and who offer affordable therapy options for low-income and marginalized individuals across California.

At Rising Pines, you’ll find more than just therapy. You’ll find a collaborative and compassionate partnership designed to help you understand your emotions, strengthen your inner voice, and create meaningful change.
