The Orange County counseling practice continues expanding in 2026 to support individuals, teens, couples and families.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, August 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Rize Counseling, an Orange County-based group therapy practice serving individuals, teens, couples and families, is continuing its 2026 growth with the addition of new, highly trained and experienced counselors. As demand for mental health support remains strong across Southern California, the practice is also encouraging the community to seek meaningful care for ongoing challenges including ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma and perinatal mental health.
Located in Fountain Valley and offering both in-person and virtual therapy sessions, Rize Counseling was established by Laurie Wilson, LMFT. Her own journey with undiagnosed ADHD, anxiety, depression and postpartum mental health struggles helped shape her path into this field. Wilson launched the practice with the conviction that individuals require safe, compassionate environments where their experiences can be listened to, comprehended and supported free from judgment. Since Rize was founded, she has also appeared in media outlets discussing her personal story, mental health stigma and counseling trends that matter to Californians and families across the country.
Key Mental Health Issues Southern Californians Are Looking for Help With in 2026:
Anxiety
Depression
ADHD
Trauma
PTSD
EMDR
Couples Counseling
Perinatal Mental Health
Teen Counseling
Rize Counseling’s message for 2026 is straightforward: mental health care should never be viewed as a last resort. For many individuals, ADHD, anxiety and depression can impact daily routines, relationships, school, work, parenting and self-esteem long before anyone reaches out for assistance. The practice urges the community to identify these struggles earlier and to consider therapy as a practical, encouraging move toward emotional stability, resilience and long-term growth.
“Mental health education is one of the most effective ways to reduce stigma. However, in today’s information-filled culture, we must have to be intentional about where we seek support or guidance. At Rize Individual and Family Counseling we operate like a family system; we support one another and have authentic human connections with each other and with our clients. That connection remains irreplaceable.” – Laurie Wilson, LMFT
“Our team also includes knowledgeable, next-generation therapists who bring a fresh perspective to working with youth. Research consistently shows that a strong therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors in successful mental health treatment. Combined with evidence-based clinical expertise, our counseling staff creates a supportive environment where young people can confidently feel understood with the new challenges they are facing today”- Katherine Roberson, AMFT
Since its founding in 2020, Rize Counseling’s expansion continues to be influenced by the real-world issues that Southern California families bring into therapy—from teens handling emotional and social pressures to new mothers navigating postpartum and perinatal difficulties. As the practice grows, Wilson is also concentrating on countering mental health misinformation and the trend of quick online self-diagnosis, urging clients to pursue research-backed care that considers the whole person, not merely a diagnosis.
Laurie Wilson and members of the Rize Counseling team are available for interviews and expert commentary on ADHD, anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health, teen mental health, couples counseling, therapy stigma and the changing ways individuals and families are seeking support in 2026.
