My Mission
At Rising Roots Counseling & Wellness, I believe that true wellness begins with strong, grounded roots. My mission is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where individuals, couples, families, and groups can nurture the foundations of their well-being and grow in ways that feel authentic and sustainable.
Through traditional psychotherapy, group sessions, and thoughtfully designed workshops, both within the therapy space and beyond, I support growth, resilience, and meaningful connection. Every service I offer is rooted in a holistic approach that honors the mind, body, and soul, recognizing the unique journey of each person who walks through my doors.
I also offer consultation services and love collaborating with individuals, organizations, and communities seeking to cultivate connection, clarity, and grounded well-being. My commitment is to help people strengthen their foundations so that growth—personal, relational, and collective—can flourish.
“I’ve been seeing Ilissa for years and I truly don’t know where I would be without her. Her supportive, nonjudgmental way of practicing therapy is key to the personal growth I’ve experienced through tough times and major life transitions.”

“In some very dark times when I was feeling broken beyond repair, Ilissa is the one that taught me that the cracks are how the light gets in. Her guidance, support, and tenacity in helping me to facilitate my own healing have been instrumental in becoming the person I am today.”
