Built to Rise doesn't look at mental health, physical health, recovery, nutrition, and performance as separate pieces. They're interconnected. Instead of sending you in five different directions to work on each one independently, the Built to Rise Method™ creates a relationship-based, whole-person framework that allows us to understand how those systems are working together—and build a plan around you.

It can be both. Built to Rise is an integrated counseling and performance practice led by a Licensed Professional Counselor. Depending on your goals, your work may include mental health counseling, performance psychology, nutrition, lifestyle optimization, recovery, strength and performance coaching, or a combination of these. The focus is on treating the whole person rather than separating mental, physical, and performance health.

Not at all. Built to Rise is for anyone who wants to feel, function, and perform better in their life. You may be an athlete chasing a performance goal, someone navigating stress or transition, or simply ready to become more intentional about your mental and physical wellness.

No. Built to Rise and Next Level Athletics work beautifully alongside one another, but they are separate services. You do not need an NLA membership to participate in Built to Rise or choose a Rise Series pathway.

You don't have to figure that out on your own. We'll look at where you are now, what you're working toward, and which areas of your mental, physical, and overall wellness need the most support. From there, we'll determine the pathway that best aligns with your goals and the level of support you're looking for.

No. The Rise Series isn't a ladder you have to climb in order. Each pathway represents a different level and type of support. Your starting point is based on your goals, needs, and how much structure and support you want—not on completing another program first.

Personalized Growth Sessions are built around you and your current goals. Depending on your pathway and needs, a session may incorporate mental wellness, performance psychology, nutrition, lifestyle optimization, personal training, recovery planning, habit development, and accountability. No two sessions have to look exactly the same.

This is our opportunity to zoom out and look at the bigger picture. We'll review your progress, wins, barriers, and current mental and physical wellness; identify what's working and what needs attention; and adjust your Built to Rise plan accordingly. It's also where we determine what your next step should look like.

Traditional mental health counseling may be eligible for insurance coverage depending on your plan and the service provided. Contact me separately if you are looking for traditional mental health counseling.

Rise Series programs and integrated wellness/performance services are generally self-pay because they extend beyond traditional mental health treatment and may incorporate services that are not covered by insurance.
