Rooted & Rising

A Supportive Group for College Freshmen Navigating Transitions, Emotions, and Identity

Starting college is a major shift—new routines, new relationships, and a whole lot of feelings. Rooted & Rising is a small-group space designed for first-year college students who want to feel more grounded, supported, and emotionally equipped to handle it all.

Together, we’ll explore:

• Managing overwhelm, anxiety, and shifting identities
• Navigating ADHD, executive functioning challenges, and academic stress
• Building healthy relationships and communication skills
• Developing coping tools and a deeper sense of self-awareness

Rooted & Rising blends solution-focused strategies with gentle insight, allowing you to show up authentically and grow into this next chapter—without the pressure to have it all figured out.

What to Expect

Each session includes:

• Thoughtful prompts and collaborative reflection
• Tools for emotional regulation and stress management
• Space to connect, share, and learn from others in a validating setting
• Creative exercises (optional!) like journaling, visual metaphors, and grounding strategies

Groups remain intentionally small so every voice is heard—no forced sharing, no spotlighting.
