RISE Mental Health Collective

What RISE Mental Health Collective does

RISE Mental Health Collective is a private mental health therapy practice founded in 2022 and headquartered at 4 Terry Drive, Newtown, PA. The collective is co-founded by Samantha Heeren, Lauren Kang, and Dana DiPretoro, all licensed clinicians, and today comprises six therapists offering individual, couples, family, art therapy, PTSD/trauma treatment, and clinical supervision services. The practice serves individuals (teens 14+ and adults), couples at any relationship stage, and families, addressing conditions including anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, life transitions, identity shifts, and relational conflict. Differentiated modalities include Trauma-Focused CBT, Prolonged Exposure, Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and board-certified art therapy.

RISE operates a hybrid delivery model anchored by a single in-person office in Newtown, PA and a HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform extending services to clients in Colorado, Delaware, Florida, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer and sales-led: prospective clients reach out via website contact form or phone, complete a free 15-minute consultation to assess fit, and then book ongoing paid sessions through a third-party client portal (clientsecure.me). Marketing is organic, relying on SEO-optimized service pages across the six specialties, with no paid acquisition, no insurance billing infrastructure, and no third-party distribution partnerships evident.

The business is a fee-for-service professional services model with pay-as-you-go billing collected by credit/debit card at the time of session. Pricing varies by therapist, session type, and duration, with rates disclosed only during the consultation; Good Faith Estimates are provided to out-of-pocket clients under the No Surprises Act. The supervision line targets a secondary persona — pre-licensed and licensed clinicians pursuing AAMFT, LPC, or ATR/ATR-BC credentials — monetizing the founders' Approved Supervisor credentials. The practice is privately held by the three co-founders with no institutional investors, no parent entity, and no public disclosures of revenue or funding.
