RISE Spiritual Center's staff: Carla Tanner, Dr. Mark Brewer, Kimberly Kochergen

The force behind RISE Spiritual Center is Dr. Mark Brewer, a seasoned therapist with 23 years of experience guiding individuals toward healing and self-discovery. Dr. Brewer's extensive background includes working in county mental health across Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego, where he assisted individuals, couples, and families navigating severe trauma. His decade-long tenure in a North County San Diego Emergency Room further deepened his understanding of human suffering and resilience.

In 2008, Dr. Brewer launched his private practice, which quickly blossomed into WAVE Therapy, a successful group practice with seven locations, over 50 therapists, and serving more than 3,000 people monthly. He also owns Current Medical Billing and is part-owner of PEAK Health Services for psychiatric support.

Yet, despite his success in traditional mental health, Dr. Brewer felt a deeper calling. His personal path of self-exploration led him to study mindfulness, meditation, energy healing, and ancient wisdom traditions, solidifying his belief that lasting well-being arises from aligning the mind, body, and spirit. "Those spiritual journeys are what led me to open RISE," he explains.

RISE Spiritual Center is the culmination of his journey to create a safe, communal space where modern psychology gracefully converges with spiritual wisdom.

RISE Spiritual Center's curriculum is thoughtfully curated to cater to a wide range of mind, body and spiritual needs and experience levels:

What truly sets RISE Spiritual Center apart from other holistic and wellness centers in the region is its specialized Integration Therapy. This unique offering is designed to help individuals make sense of insights gained during non-ordinary states of consciousness and learn how to incorporate or integrate this new-found knowledge into their everyday lives. 

This specialized therapy ensures that the insights gained from transformative experiences are not fleeting, but instead lead to meaningful, enduring shifts in mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
