Abelee Groff
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LICSW
My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, attachment-based therapy that emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, and respect for each client’s values and relationships. I work with adults navigating anxiety, complex trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship stress among other issues.
I take an integrative, evidence-based approach that incorporates Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic and nervous system–informed therapy, attachment-focused work, and emotion-focused interventions. While my work is rooted in clinical research, I also recognize that not all healing can be fully explained by science alone. I remain open to the many ways the mind, body, and inner world interact, honoring intuition, meaning-making, and embodied experience as part of the therapeutic process.
I provide affirming, nonjudgmental care for clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent adults. Many clients seek my practice for support around relationship dynamics, intimacy concerns, and navigating relationships that may not follow traditional models. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood without needing to educate their therapist.
My goal is to help clients develop greater emotional resilience, healthier relationships, and a more secure connection with themselves and others.

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!

Asher Lipner
Psychologist, Ph.D., SRT
I believe good therapy is more than symptom management. It’s about helping people understand themselves more honestly, develop greater emotional awareness, and build a life that feels more grounded, connected, and authentic.
Many of the people I work with feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand — anxiety, shame, compulsive behaviors, emotional disconnection, relationship struggles, or cycles of secrecy and self-criticism. Often, these struggles are not simply about “bad habits” or lack of willpower, but about deeper emotional and relational dynamics that have never been fully understood or addressed.
My style is warm, direct, thoughtful, and engaged. I aim to create a space where people can speak openly about subjects that are difficult to discuss elsewhere, without feeling judged, dismissed, or reduced to a diagnosis. I believe meaningful therapy requires both compassion and honesty: the ability to understand pain without losing sight of accountability, growth, and change.
I have particular experience helping individuals and couples struggling with compulsive sexual behavior, pornography addiction, betrayal trauma, intimacy difficulties, anxiety, shame, and trauma-related issues. I also work extensively with clients from religious and culturally sensitive communities, where these struggles often carry additional layers of secrecy, fear, and isolation.
Therapy can help people move from surviving on autopilot toward living with greater clarity, presence, integrity, and connection — both to themselves and to the people they care about most.

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.
