Welcome to Phoenix Rising Therapy, LLC, where our mission is to empower individuals, children, and families to heal and become the best versions of themselves. At the heart of our practice is Andrea Skelton, LSCSW, LCAC, a dedicated and experienced clinical social worker with a passion for helping others overcome life’s challenges.
Andrea's Journey
Andrea Skelton’s journey in social work began in 1999 when she received her Associate of Arts degree from Butler County Community College. She went on to earn her Bachelor’s degree in Social Work in 2002 and her Master’s degree in Social Work from Newman University in 2003.
In 2011, Andrea became a Licensed Clinical Addiction Counselor (LCAC) and has since gained valuable experience working in addiction services. She is also certified as a Registered Play Therapist, specializing in this powerful therapeutic approach for children.
Andrea is currently working on her EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) training to help children and individuals diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). She will also be offering anger management services for adolescents.
Passions and Expertise
Andrea is particularly passionate about working with children and adolescents who struggle with anxiety and depression. She believes in the transformative power of therapy and is dedicated to helping her clients develop healthy coping skills to handle life’s challenges.
Family Life
Andrea is a proud mother of three sons: Hunter, Tyler, and Elijah. Hunter, 22 years old, will be graduating in May 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing. Tyler graduated from Derby High School in 2021, and 9-year-old Elijah, who has autism, attended Tanglewood Elementary.
Guided by the words of Mahatma Gandhi, Andrea’s personal motto is “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” With this in mind, she strives to create a supportive and nurturing environment for her clients to heal, grow, and embrace their authentic selves.
