Rising Phoenix Therapy - Dempsey Young, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist
Dr. Dempsey is a licensed psychologist that provides individual and couples therapy services as well as psychological testing for adults to help people thrive and begin living a fulfilling life as the best versions of themselves. I am not really a sit back and just listen therapist... as I ask you to bring your authentic self to sessions, I do the same and often a lot more interpersonal and direct if needed but of course invested in our relationship as a safe and empathic one. Sometimes being stuck in the trees blocks us from moving forward and to where we want to be. Through therapy, we can work our way through the woods together to the open field waiting for you. You DESERVE to be your best and full self and I believe I can help bring that to your life. Reach out and we can chat about your concerns and get started!

CHRISTIE BAUR PSYCHOTHERAPY
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
Are you an ambitious, high-achieving teen or adult who can’t seem to quiet the relentless inner battles? You push yourself and show up for everyone, but still find yourself caught in spirals of self-doubt and the nagging sense that you’re never quite good enough. The racing thoughts and constant pressure to hold it all together are exhausting, and you’re tired of anxiety stealing yet another moment of your life?
I get it—I’ve been there.
If you’re ready to slow your thoughts, feel grounded and confident, and finally quiet the noise, I’m here to help you get there.
My goal is to provide a protected, collaborative space—one where you can exhale, explore, and work through things at a pace that feels right for you. You can bring your whole self—your challenges, questions, and hopes—and know you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and respect. Therapy with me isn’t about judgment or “fixing” anyone—you don’t need to be fixed—it’s about building insight, practical tools, and confidence so you can live a fuller, freer life. Together, we’ll navigate anxiety, self-doubt, life transitions, and more, using evidence-based strategies with empathy and support—so you can feel empowered, resilient, and connected to yourself.
