Partners and families can be enrolled in coverage that the employee pays in full.
​
[Part-time therapists seeing a minimum of 16 clients weekly are eligible to be enrolled in Medical, Dental & Vision insurance, but will pay for all premiums out-of-pocket. Part-time therapists are not eligible for any other full-time benefits.]

​
RISE Michigan has an office in Ann Arbor. Therapists who work full-time will have an assigned office, and all of our offices have windows. Our office has its own dedicated bathrooms, a kitchen, a conference room, and a bunch of natural light throughout. It has been recently renovated and is a beautiful space. ​

RISE is growing, and we are always thinking of ways to best support our therapists.
It is important to us that we provide a warm, friendly environment that will cultivate a space for meaningful work to be done that isn't at the expense of our therapists. Ultimately, we want RISE to be a collaborative space of like-minded individuals who are as equally devoted to self-care as they are to their clients.
You simply can not sustainably hold space for clients if you are not resourced to do so.
We know that, and that's what makes RISE different.
