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!

Karen Baumstark, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D., CMHIMP, CTACC
In searching for a therapist, you are taking the first step in what could be the most important journey of your life. It is definitely possible to make important, lasting improvements in your life and levels of happiness, satisfaction, and success. Therapy is often an effective way to attain these goals. With almost 40 years of experience working as a counselor and then a psychologist, I am well-qualified to help you identify what is standing in the way of increased life satisfaction, and help you effectively work towards your goals. People often get stuck in old patterns that make them unhappy, want to change them, but don't know how. I work together with my clients to understand how old patterns in thought, feeling, and behavior got established, and then explore how best to change those patterns. I enjoy doing longer term, deeper work with clients, to create significant, meaningful, and lasting change. I often employ a holistic approach, exploring personal history, thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationship history and issues, as well as issues including medical history, self-care habits, and experiences of spirituality. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership, respecting the pace and timing that the client requires.

Jess Williams
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSS, LCSW
When you're living your life just a little bit differently from other people, it can feel like the world just wasn't made for you - and it sucks. Whether it's how or who you love, how your brain works, the way you seem to worry about absolutely everything, or the decisions you make about what your life to look like, it can feel super isolating and discouraging to not feel seen and understood by those around you. When I work with clients, that is my main goal - to help them feel seen, understood, and accepted for who they are. Sure, we will work on your anxiety, I'll give you new techniques to try and different ways to think about the world around you, and we'll explore practical advice for things like workplace stress, relationship issues, and family drama, but I also want to help you like YOU more than you ever have before. It might sound cliche (in fact, I know it does), but developing the ability to back yourself, accept your emotions without judgement, and make decisions that feel truly right to you can make all the difference in the world.
Starting therapy can be anxiety-provoking at times, which is why I offer free consultations to all prospective clients. You can book a free 20 minute phone call directly on my website, and I'll reach out to you right away to confirm. We can chat about what you're looking for support with AND make sure everything feels like a good fit before scheduling an intake. I can't wait to connect with you!

Elements Counseling and Wellness Spa
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, PhD, LPC, LCSW, LSW, LAPC,
We believe healing isn’t always quiet—it’s about being bold, being unapologetically you, and finally letting your body release the weight it’s been carrying. By blending compassionate psychotherapy with restorative somatic care like halotherapy and deep muscle compression, we help you process trauma in a way that truly sticks. Our sanctuary is a safe, fiercely inclusive haven built for marginalized voices and the queer community, where you’ll feel the relief of a warm blanket the moment you walk through the door. Whether you’re navigating trauma, neurodiversity, or sex therapy, you don't have to carry your story alone anymore. You’re home—come in, exhale, and let’s start your next chapter together.
