Families in Saline now have a new resource for mental health services. Rise Wellness Collaborative moved to its new location at 760 Woodland Drive this November. Offering individual and group therapy for children and adults, the office specializes in perinatal care and infant and early childhood mental health.
“At Rise, we strive to provide an empathetic, transparent, and compassionate approach to therapy,” said Jen Burke, JD, LMSW, IMH-E. “We work to celebrate differences and promote holistic well-being. We prioritize community collaboration to advance infant, early childhood and parental mental health, while working to foster an environment that is inclusive and supportive to all members of the community.”
Rise offers play therapy for children, as well as parent-infant dyadic therapy which can help foster nurturing relationships between infants and caregivers.
“Our child services focus on helping kids to develop secure parent-child attachment relationships as well as to develop the coping skills to manage life challenges.”
Many parents need help after the birth of a child as they deal with sleep deprivation, postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, and the everyday challenges that parenthood can bring. Rise offers individual and family therapy, along with group therapy, where participants can discuss issues such as miscarriage, infertility and conception, and more. They also offer support groups for new mothers and fathers who struggle with the challenges of parenthood and maintaining a work-life balance.
Rise also offers adoption and foster care support to families.
“Our adult services primarily focus on the perinatal period and transition to parenthood,” Burke said. “We have therapists with specialized training in perinatal mental health, infant and early childhood mental health, and trauma.”
In addition to offering mental health services, Rise also operates a drop-in donation station that is stocked with formula, perinatal and infant items for families and caregivers.
Currently, the team at Rise consists of Jen Burke, Aimee Tuck, MS, LLP, PMH-C, and Emily Gutman, LMSW, IMH-E.
Burke feels that her team will provide a valuable service to Saline and the surrounding region.
“Infant and early childhood and perinatal mental health are vital for lifelong mental wellness, yet are often underserved areas. We want to expand the reach of these services to allow more people to access support,” Burke said.

Thank you to those Council members who support the citizens and the Rec Center.
Please note, the rec center now requires 1/3 to almost 1/2 of its operations be funded by the City of Saline taxpayers. Approximately 10% of our City population uses the facility, while 2/3 of the members are non-resident. It’s time the non City residents of the Saline community pays its fair share.
What happened with the funding for the needed repairs at the Recreation Center? With all of the programs and community services provided at the Recreation Center, the nearby communities spending tens of millions of dollars to build new Recreation Centers, and the number of members/high usage for the Center and part
The mayor and city council love to spend taxpayer dollars frivolously. More and more $$$ into the rec center, that needs to stop. We still don’t have drinkable water and yet the city keeps raising rates. Can’t speak for everyone but I would much rather have clean water than a “lazy river!”
Sorry, Toby Crotty. Do not align to your assessment or thoughts. While nearby communities are spending tens of millions of dollars to build Recreation Centers (because of their value to citizens and communities), Saline is in the fortunate position of already having a very good facility in place which now needs to
You avoided my main point. The rec center is a nice amenity for those that use it. However, it is not a necessity. Clean safe water that we pay exorbitant rates for IS a necessity for EVERYONE!
The unprofessional behavior while in the supposed role of being a journalist when talking to that protester is ridiculous. The incorrect information and “facts” you spewed during the conversation are just par for the course. Thanks for showing up!
I agree with your comments about this journalist. I use the word journalist loosely here, as a journalist should be bringing forth the views of the people they are interviewing, not bringing their obvious bias into every forced conversation.
I understand the right 4 peaceful protests, why expose children to hate and show disrespect to our flag, what is that teaching the children. As a Korean Veteran I oppose anyone disrespecting our countries FLAG, shame on the protesters,
