Vision, Mission & Values
Our vision
Breaking barriers for marginalized communities and training therapists to lead change.
Our Mission
Phoenix Rising Centers breaks barriers in mental health care for BIPOC, QTPoC, and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. Through trauma-informed, anti-racist, and culturally rooted practices, we empower healing, growth, and resilience while confronting systemic inequities.
Our Values
Deep Connection
At Phoenix Rising Centers, we cultivate genuine client relationships, moving beyond traditional observation to a collaborative approach that values human connection. Our practice emphasizes humility and recognizes that healing occurs in the dynamic exchange between therapist and client. We create a transformative space for both parties to grow, learn, and heal together.
Social Justice
Social justice is the bedrock of mental health. It dismantles the systemic barriers that create inequity and cause psychological distress, fostering a society where everyone can thrive. By addressing oppression and discrimination, we create the conditions for individuals and communities to experience true well-being. Social justice empowers marginalized groups, promotes a sense of belonging, and ensures equitable access to resources, all of which are essential for mental health.
At Phoenix Rising Centers, we champion this interconnectedness between social justice and healing. Our culturally responsive and inclusive approach recognizes the impact of systemic oppression on mental health and actively works to create a more just and equitable therapeutic space. We believe that by addressing the root causes of suffering, we can empower individuals and communities to heal and reach their full potential.
Inclusivity and Diversity
Inclusivity and diversity are essential for effective and ethical mental health care. At Phoenix Rising Centers, our intersectional approach recognizes the unique needs of each individual while actively challenging systems of oppression to create lasting change.
