History

Rising Phoenix Wellness Center, LLC, was founded by Jennifer R. Ayers, LICSW, in 2017. After serving in the United States Navy as Clinical Social Worker, then working for another couple years at the local Naval Behavioral Health Clinic, she decided to pursue a dream of independent practice while still serving her fellow Sailors, other service members, and veterans. She has been on the waterfront in Coupeville since that time cultivating her practice and advancing her education and training to better serve her community. At the same time she opened Rising Phoenix, she began her Doctorate in Clinical Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania. She plans to graduate in 2020 with her doctorate.

The rising phoenix is a symbol of growth even after burning to ashes. It is from the ashes of our life that we can rebuild and become stronger and mightier than we thought possible. Trauma changes our minds, bodies, and spirits. We often need help to navigate the healing process. Rising Phoenix Wellness Center aims to be that safe place to rebuild and grow again out of the ashes of our trauma.
