SAFE & GROUNDED
"You don't have to pretend everything is okay."
BIPOC individuals often face unique challenges related to systemic bias, discrimination, and cultural expectations. These experiences can contribute to stress, anxiety, and feelings of isolation, making it important to have supportive spaces that acknowledge and validate these realities.
​
Through culturally sensitive therapy, individuals can explore the impact of racism, microaggressions, and intergenerational trauma on mental health. Our experienced therapists provide tools to build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and foster empowerment, helping BIPOC clients cultivate well-being, self-understanding, and meaningful connections in daily life.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we're here to walk beside you on your mental health journey.

ABOUT US
Why Work With
Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness
"Where healing turns into growth, and growth turns into joy."
So often, we know deep down what we need to feel fulfilled, but something gets in the way. We fall into patterns that no longer serve us, in our relationships, our work, or how we care for ourselves. Over time, those habits quietly shape our days, and our days become our lives.
​
At Rise & Shine Counselling & Wellness, we believe that change is always possible. With the right support, you can break free from old cycles, reconnect with what truly matters, and start living in alignment with your values and goals.
​
We’re inspired by the idea that growth isn’t about becoming someone new. Rather, it’s about uncovering who you’ve been all along. Together, we’ll help you rediscover your confidence, resilience, and sense of purpose so you can rise into a life that feels grounded, intentional, and full of possibility.
