Dear Therapist, We know what it's like to feel unseen. To pour your heart into your clients while barely holding onto your own work-life balance. To feel overwhelmed by documentation, overloaded with misaligned clients, and left questioning if this is how therapy is supposed to feel. If you're feeling that — you're not alone. And more importantly… it doesn't have to be that way. Welcome to Rise Above Therapy — a practice built for therapists who want more than just a job. A place where your energy is protected, your passions are prioritized, and your voice matters. Who We Are At Rise Above Therapy, we provide compassionate, client-centered and trauma-informed counseling for individuals, couples, youth, and families. We specialize in helping people overcome trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions using evidence-based practices — but we do it with a therapist-first approach. We're a team of humans first — not just clinicians. And we're building something special in the heart of Albuquerque, NM — a hybrid practice that blends clinical excellence with holistic care, innovation, and purpose. Rise Above Therapy recently expanded into a newly built 10-office location in Albuquerque (87110), and our client waitlist is growing daily — so we're actively growing our in-person team. Where We Need Help Most Right Now Our demand is real and immediate. Right now our waitlist is strongest for: Couples therapy In-person family therapy Children & adolescents (after-school appointments) Evening availability (sessions after 5pm) In-person care (rather than virtual) If your experience and availability line up with any of these, you'll build a full, aligned caseload quickly — clients are already waiting. What You Get (Besides Feeling Like a Human Again) Genuine flexibility: You choose your hours, your clients, and your caseload. Full-time (25-28+ hrs weekly) or part-time (15-24 hrs weekly), in-person. Right now, therapists who can offer evening (after 5pm) or after-school hours fill their caseloads fastest given our waitlist — but let's create a schedule that works for you. Beautifully furnished "Boho style" private office space (87110 zip code) Just be a therapist: No marketing. No admin overload. No billing. No office rent. No admin chaos. You show up, hold space, and we handle the rest.

Freedom to practice your way:

Whether you're trained in CBT, EMDR, IFS, or another modality — we support your style and strengths and are always open to incorporating your ideas for helping clients. Technology that helps, not hurts: Our systems streamline documentation so you're not doing notes at 9pm. A community, not just a company: We think outside the box, support each other, and are working toward a larger vision of holistic mental health care. Supervision & support: We offer clinical supervision and leadership guidance, especially for our non-independently licensed therapists.
