About Us.

Founded by Kayla Grogg Meador, LICSW, PMH-C, Rise Counseling is built on the values of warmth, authenticity, and accessibility. Kayla brings nearly a decade of experience as a therapist and clinical supervisor, blending evidence-based approaches with genuine presence. Her passion is helping people feel safe enough to explore their inner world, and supported to take meaningful steps forward.

Our approach blends clinical expertise with a warm, relational style that honors both your strengths and your lived experiences.

Our goal is to create a space where you can bring your whole self, shed the weight you’ve been carrying, and experience a life with more peace, clarity and connection.

The name Rise is an invitation. To step out of the shame, trauma, and self-doubt. And to challenge everything you’ve been told you’re “supposed to do”, be, act, or look like - and uncover who you want to be. All while knowing you don’t have to carry it alone.

Rise Counseling was created to be a space of genuine care: a place where you can slow down, feel safe, and rise into a version of yourself that feels more aligned, more connected, and more free. Whether you’re beginning your healing journey or deepening work you’ve already started, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to hold the process with you, every step of the way.
