Rise Up Psychological Services
We specialize in helping kids, teens, adolescents, and young adults in Bountiful, North Salt Lake, Centerville, Farmington, and surrounding ares. Our aim is to help them rise up and become their best selves. Melissa White, Ph. D. is the clinical psychologist of the practice and loves working with the people of Davis and Salt Lake counties. She prefers meeting in person, but also offers virtual telehealth visits as well.
At Rise Up Psychological Services, we take insurance from many different insurance companies (see the list here), and can help you determine how much they will cover. Just send us an email with some basic information (name, insurance company, and member id) and we'll do the rest! If you have insurance that we don't cover, many times out-of-network coverage can be a good option, or we can accept self-pay clients as well. Rates for self paying clients are $180 for an initial intake session, and $155 per session after that.
Unfortunately at this time, Melissa is not taking new clients. If you are interested in being placed on a wait list, please contact us at office@riseuppsychology.com, or call us at (801) 436–7576. Near the beginning of each month we will contact those on the wait list and verify that they are still interested in being on the wait list. If, at any point, additional availability opens up for Melissa, we will reach out to those on the wait list in the order they were added.

Dr. White loves working primarily with children, teens and their families.

No matter the treatment setting, Dr. White truly believes helping individuals at a young age can help positively influence the rest of their lives. Additionally, Dr. White has extensive training and a specific interest helping those with oppositional, emotional dysregulation, and attention difficulties (e.g., Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Conduct Disorder, Intermittent Explosive Disorder, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and ADHD). Dr. White also enjoys working with those who struggle with anxiety, OCD, and depression (e.g., Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Separation Anxiety, Selective Mutism, Social Phobia, Major Depressive Disorder).
As a therapist, Dr. White believes that every family, person and child are individuals with different strengths and weaknesses; therefore, her approach to treatment comes with careful thought and concern for the individual and families.
