The RISE Framework
The RISE Framework is a clinical model developed to treat trauma responses as adaptations that once worked. We reframe intelligence in survival evidence, recognizing that survival is intelligence and healing is translation. This approach provides a credible, human-centered foundation for clinical practice and organizational training.
Core Pillars

The Founder
Survival is intelligence.
Healing is translation.
Candice Viero, MA, CADDCT, CDP, CAMS, is a veteran dedicated to trauma-informed care and professional development. As a doctoral candidate in International Psychology at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, she brings a unique perspective to clinical work grounded in the RISE Framework. Her background in the U.S. Army informs a practice that treats trauma responses as adaptations rather than symptoms, fostering a path toward healing and professional growth.
