ROOT & RISE
Training Institute

Bridging the gap between personal healing & systemic transformation.

We empower professionals, organizations, and communities to create trauma-informed, holistic wellness from the inside out. Rooted in nervous system science, attachment theory, and lived experience, our work challenges outdated models of mental health and human behaviour to build cultures of compassion, resilience, and equity.

From clinicians to school systems, from first responders to corporate executives, we partner with those who want to do better—for themselves and for others. Because when individuals are honored, systems change. And when systems change, everyone has the chance to rise.

OUR FOUNDERS

DANI PROFFITT & TIFFANY WORLEY

Two women in professional attire posing in a modern office space, one sitting on a chair with a large plant nearby, and the other standing next to her holding a folder, against a black and gray wall.

Root & Rise is built on the unwavering belief that healing isn’t just personal—it’s collective. Together, we offer 15+ years of combined experience spanning clinical practice, leadership, education, and community engagement. By bringing clinical depth to real-world spaces, we aim to shift our cultural view of mental health, human behavior, and healing through a more holistic, relational, and compassionate lens.

Dani is a business owner, therapist and supervisor with specialized expertise in trauma, and a deep understanding of how nervous system patterns influence relationships, work, and systems. She leads with visionary energy, boldness, and brings clarity to complex challenges.

Tiffany is a therapist and supervisor who embodies a collaborative, creative spirit that centers safety, connection, and resilience. Integrating childhood mental health and trauma-informed care with a background in higher education, she bridges individual experience and larger systems.

We don’t lead from the top—we lead from within. Our work is backed by years of deep clinical knowledge, and a commitment to relational integrity. But more importantly, it’s rooted in our personal practice of learning, unlearning, and showing up—with clarity, courage, and care.

OUR APPROACH

01

Trauma Informed

We center trauma-informed principles in everything we do, ensuring safety, trust, and cultural humility for individuals and systems alike. We recognize that lived experiences shape how people and systems function, and we honor that with compassion, flexibility, and awareness.

02

Relational Focus

Our approach emphasizes the power of human connection as the pathway to healing and growth. We believe that strong, attuned relationships across sectors and disciplines create the foundation for collaborative problem-solving, shared learning, and systemic transformation.

03

Holistic Wellness

We support whole-system wellness by recognizing the deep connection between mental, emotional, physical, and relational health. Rather than focusing solely on outcomes or symptom management, we help cultivate environments that support deep sustainable change and collective care.

04

Education & Empowerment

Knowledge is transformative. Through accessible, practical education and training, we provide tools to create lasting change. We meet learners where they are by blending research-based content with real-world application to build confidence, skills, and capacity for growth.

05

Equity through Collaboration

We believe equity is advanced through relationships, not silos. We support the development of systems that are not only trauma-informed, but also collaborative and consistent. By fostering cross-sector partnerships, we help ensure care is holistic, connected, and culturally responsive.

06

Personalized
Services

No two individuals, teams, or organizations are the same, which is why our services are fully customizable to meet your specific needs. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all answers, we listen deeply, tailor our support, and build on the strengths and wisdom already present in every system.

Words that Mean the World

  • "A wealth of knowledge, support, and direction as I start my practice from the ground up. "

    “Dani has provided me with a wealth of knowledge, support, and direction over the years since starting my practice from the ground up. Having her to consult with has been immensely helpful and most importantly, she is someone you can trust knowing she wants you to grow as an owner and for your practice to be successful.”

    -Dan Krause, Business Owner

  • "Dani has given me such confidence in my clinical practice and entrepreneurship."

    “With Dani as my supervisor, I felt incredibly supported with particularly hard cases. She offered me a wealth of knowledge and information as I navigate the infancy of my private practice and encounter new challenges. She has given me such confidence in my clinical practice and entrepreneurship. I am eternally grateful for her!”

    -Kalie Fish, M.Ed., LPCC-S, Business Owner

  • "Using EMDR has truly changed the lives of so many kids!  I am amazed at the transformation."

    “And it's not just the EMDR.  It's who YOU are.  You care about your families, and are confident in your abilities, and so they feel more hopeful that things will change because of your help.  You treat them with compassion, and try to look at things through their eyes to get the full picture of what is going on.  You don't judge them.  You set limits and boundaries which some of these families desperately need to feel safe.” 

    M.S., Previous Coworker

  • "The way you guide people through trauma and healing is truly life-changing."

    Dani, Where do I even start? You are such a talented therapist, and my day is always brighter when I see you.  As a co-worker, you always had a time for me, which would often be my mini counseling session for the week!  The way you guide people through traumatic events and help them find the road to healing truly helps them change their lives, and I know they will forever remember how you helped them.”

    M.S., Previous Coworker

  • "I learned more in one year as a supervisee than I have in my 6 years of being a counselor."

    “Dani and Tiffany are both top notch in our field. I learned more in one year as a supervisee than I have in my 6 years of being a counselor. They are incredibly knowledgable, and have helped me grow professionally and personally with their caring and attentive approach. If you’re looking to broaden your knowledge, and build insight and confidence, these two are the ones to see! I couldn’t recommend anyone better.”

  • "NEO stands out as one of the best... Most of all, it’s the people at NEO who make it truly exceptional"

    Throughout my 30-year career as a therapist, I’ve had the opportunity to work in several practices, and NEO stands out as one of the best. The wide range of therapeutic services offered, the thoughtful and efficient operation of the practice, and its strong commitment to a growth mindset all contribute to an environment of healing and support. Most of all, it’s the people at NEO who make it truly exceptional — dedicated professionals who foster both personal and professional growth for clients and staff alike.”

  • "Exceptional guides and advocates for colleagues, supervisees, and clients alike."

    “I have had the privilege of working alongside Dani and Tiffany for several years and have consistently been impressed by their professionalism and dedication to thoughtful, ethical supervision. They bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, while also remaining committed to their own growth and the integration of evidence-based practices. Their warmth and generosity complement their expertise, making them exceptional guides and advocates for colleagues, supervisees, and clients alike.”

  • "That unique mix of grounded skill and bold imagination is exactly what makes Dani such a valuable—and unforgettable—supervisor.”

    “Working with Dani is always an adventure. On the one hand, they’re exceptionally good at what they do—thorough, reliable, and always pushing for excellence. On the other hand, their creative ideas and out-of-the-box thinking keep everyone on their toes in the best way. That unique mix of grounded skill and bold imagination is exactly what makes them such a valuable—and unforgettable—supervisor.”
