Built on Research.
Proven in Practice.
The RISE Method® integrates the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and habit science to make confidence teachable.
The RISE Method® bridges clinical research and practical application, giving young adults science-backed tools to rewire thought patterns, increase resilience, and sustain confidence over time
The Four Pillars of RISE
Four major disciplines of behavioral science support each phase of The RISE Method®:
1. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Proven through decades of meta-analysis, CBT provides the foundation for identifying and reshaping unhelpful beliefs. The RISE Method® adapts these methods for modern learners, making thought reframing approachable, visual, and easy to apply.
2. Neuroscience
Grounded in neuroplasticity — the brain's ability to change with practice — The RISE Method® teaches participants how new habits create new pathways. This helps young adults replace self-doubt with belief and action through consistent repetition.
3. Developmental Psychology
Based on Jeffrey Arnett's theory of Emerging Adulthood, The RISE Method® addresses the developmental needs of ages 16–23 — identity exploration, decision-making, and belonging. It recognizes this stage as one of rapid growth and opportunity, offering support that meets students exactly where they are.
4. Habit Formation Science
Drawing from James Clear (Atomic Habits) and BJ Fogg (Tiny Habits), The RISE Method® uses habit-stacking and behavior design to turn awareness into sustainable practice. Participants leave not just inspired — but equipped with tools for lifelong change.
The Science in Action
The RISE Method® transforms academic research into accessible, interactive learning experiences. Every video lesson and reflection prompt is informed by data, empathy, and practicality — empowering young adults to understand their brain, manage their emotions, and lead themselves confidently.
Data-Driven
Every lesson is grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical best practices.
Brain-Based
Leverages neuroplasticity to create lasting cognitive and behavioral change.
Practical
Translates complex psychology into actionable daily practices for young adults.
Research-Backed Foundations
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
The gold standard for treating anxiety and building resilience, with thousands of studies supporting its effectiveness.
Neuroplasticity Research
Modern neuroscience shows that the brain can rewire itself through consistent practice and intentional behavior change.
Emerging Adulthood Theory
Jeffrey Arnett's framework recognizes ages 16-23 as a unique developmental stage requiring specific support strategies.
Behavioral Design
Research from habit science pioneers demonstrates how small, consistent actions create lasting transformation.
