A Specialized Focus on First Responders
We understand that first responders face repeated exposure to trauma, high stress, and emotional strain that most people never experience.
At Rising Mental Health, ketamine therapy is offered in a setting that is:
-
Confidential and stigma-free
-
Designed with first responder culture in mind
-
Led by a provider who understands the job and its impact
You don’t have to explain everything here—you’re already understood.
Care That Understands You
What sets Rising Mental Health apart is simple: we understand your world.
Rising Mental Health is led by Denise Gusich, PMHNP—a provider who is not only an experienced clinician, but also deeply connected to the first responder community as both a fire wife and part of a firefighter family.
We understand the realities that come with the job:
-
Chronic stress and burnout
-
Trauma exposure and PTSD
-
Sleep disruption
-
Demands of shift work
-
The impact on relationships and family life.
Whether you are a firefighter, police officer, EMS professional, Military Personal, Military personal, nurse or a family member, you will find a space here where you don’t have to explain everything—you are already understood. You will be met with respect and confidentiality from day one.
