Lets start your journey
Welcome—I'm so glad you're here.
​
My journey into this work wasn’t a straight line—it was shaped by lived experience, deep curiosity, and a calling to help others find clarity and healing in the midst of chaos.
Hi, I’m Nicole Rose, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of Rise Beyond Therapy.
​
Since 2014, I’ve helped individuals, couples, and families navigate the complex terrain of healing, growth, and emotional resilience. I began my professional journey working with people through some of life’s most painful and transformative moments. Over the years, I’ve specialized in trauma recovery, personality disorders, ADHD, men’s issues, parenting support, and helping clients reconnect with themselves after toxic or codependent relationships. I’ve seen how easy it is to lose our sense of self when we’re in survival mode—and how powerful it can be when we choose to rise anyway.
​
My approach is direct yet compassionate, blending evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care with deep respect for each person's lived experience. I created Rise Beyond Therapy to be a space where people feel safe enough to be honest, supported enough to change, and empowered enough to rise beyond what’s been holding them back. Whether you're facing anxiety, relationship struggles, ADHD, trauma, or just feeling stuck—this practice is about helping you reconnect to your strength, rebuild your clarity, and rise with intention.
​
Rise Beyond Therapy isn’t just a name—it’s a belief. That healing is possible. That your story doesn’t end with what broke you. That with the right support, tools, and insight, you can rise beyond the patterns, fears, and pain that have held you back.
I’m known for being honest, compassionate, and a little bit sarcastic at times—because healing doesn't always have to be heavy. I believe in meeting people where they are, offering practical tools, and walking alongside them as they do the brave work of becoming who they were meant to be.
​
Outside of the therapy room, I’m a lifelong learner, a fierce advocate for justice, and someone who truly believes in the power of transformation when people feel seen and supported.
​
This work is personal. And this space is sacred.
Let’s rise beyond—together.

Modalities
I employ a diverse range of therapeutic modalities to tackle various issues.. Here are some of the key approaches I use:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This structured, hands-on method assists individuals in altering patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to their challenges, thereby changing their emotional responses.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): An evidence-based approach that blends elements of CBT with mindfulness practices. It focuses on teaching clients to live in the moment, develop effective stress-coping mechanisms, regulate emotions, and enhance interpersonal relationships.
Attachment-Based Therapy: This approach aims to strengthen the fundamental bonds between individuals, improving emotional connections within relationships. It is particularly useful in marital counseling and advanced parenting workshops.
Psychodynamic Therapy: A depth-oriented therapy that delves into the unconscious processes affecting behavior and emotions. This modality strives to uncover how past experiences, especially from early childhood, shape current behaviors and relationships. It is ideal for individuals keen on exploring the deep-rooted origins of their emotional issues.
Reality Therapy: Emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility and the power of making better choices to achieve specific goals. This approach focuses on the present and future, encouraging individuals to create a practical plan to improve their personal relationships and overall life satisfaction. It helps clients identify what they want, evaluate their current behaviors, and develop strategies to make positive changes.
Trauma-Informed Care: Recognizes the profound impact of trauma on behavior and health. This approach focuses on understanding, recognizing, and responding to trauma by creating an environment of safety, choice, and empowerment. It aims to avoid re-traumatization, support resilience, and facilitate healing by acknowledging the pervasive effects of trauma on an individual's life.
