Grounding and Growing for a Better Tomorrow

The name Root & Rise represents the metaphor for growth and healing that underpins each session. Dr. Phillips believes lasting change begins deep within the roots of individuals, families, and systems. Dr. Phillips grounds clients in their most authentic selves to resolve inner conflicts that spark anxiety; brings compassion to soften shame; and processes loss and separation to soothe grief. Connecting clients to their most entrenched parts creates an enduring foundation for clients to nurture their roots and grow their branches. Expanding into their full potential, clients at Root & Rise Psychological Services connect with themselves to build the lives and relationships that align with them.

A supportive space to heal:

As life’s demands amass, daily tasks can start to weigh heavily and relationships can begin to overextend capacity. Whether experiencing anxiety, navigating grief, struggling in relationships, or feeling disconnected from yourself, Dr. Phillips will meet you with warmth and compassion in your present moment to journey with you at your own pace.

Dr. Phillips collaborates with clients to shed light on familiar patterns and foster new ways of being. At Root & Rise, psychotherapy centers around creating clarity, balance, and growth rooted in self-understanding.
