What RISING HerWay Is — and What It Is Not
At RISING HerWay: The Women Rising Project, we believe in clarity, dignity, and honoring the truth — even the fine print.
Let’s be clear.
This is not a clinical (direct) therapy practice.
This is not a substitute for licensed mental health care.
This is not a crisis response organization.

So what is it?
It’s something bolder.
RISING HerWay is a mission-driven movement — led by a woman veteran and licensed therapist — that provides trauma-informed healing experiences, creative wellness practices, peer connection, and empowerment programming for military-connected women.
We complement traditional care, not replace it.
We collaborate with clinicians, we don’t compete.
We believe in all forms of healing — and every woman’s right to access more than one path.

A Gentle But Important Reminder:
We deeply honor and respect the life-saving work of licensed therapists, the VA, crisis lines, and Veteran Service Organizations.
Our creative offerings — including retreats, workshops, and sisterhood events — are therapist-led but not direct therapy sessions.
They are designed to:
-
Reinforce your growth between appointments
-
Reconnect you to your voice and purpose
-
Rebuild trust in community
-
Restore your sense of self

Final Word
This is not therapy. It’s what happens before, between, and beyond it.
This is where healing becomes human.
Where you’re met — fully — as a woman, a veteran, a sister, and a story worth rising.
We rise with you, not in place of what’s already holding you.
Welcome to your next mission.
