Welcome to Rising Phoenix Counseling Services!
Rising Phoenix Counseling Services, LLC. officially began its journey in 2024, but the journey began as an idea in 2019. Owner, Mariah Tipton, started her educational journey towards mental health & was inspired by the work of others in the field. The journey began in 2020 during the COVID-19 Pandemic when the need for mental health skyrocketed to unprecedented numbers & she started working with young adults struggling with anxiety, grief, & trauma. In 2022, she noticed that authentic therapists was much needed & that the mental health field had to change.
Mariah had a vision to provide mental health services and give back to the community that gave her so much knowledge & opportunity. Rising Phoenix became a product of what she had envisioned for the community & the people living in it. She continues to find new opportunities to provide her clients client-centered services for adults & professionals entering the mental health field. Like every journey, Rising Phoenix has many roads to cross and hills to climb towards success, but there is no where else to go, but up. Mariah continues to work with maximum effort, authenticity, enthusiasm, and dedication to help any individual who walks through the doors of Rising Phoenix to encourage them to be the best versions of themselves.
