Lekesha Dean

I am accepting new clients! Please visit www.phoenixrisingcg.com to schedule an appointment. You can also request a free 15-min consult through this site. Updated January 2026 Welcome, I’m Lekesha. I bring a grounded, thoughtful presence into therapy, shaped by years of experience across insurance, higher education, health coaching, and mental health. I specialize in helping high-achieving adults and caregivers find their footing again emotionally, physically, and spiritually when life feels out of rhythm. My approach is relational, affirming, and focused on helping you realign with your values. I especially enjoy working with professionals in leadership, sports, and healthcare, as well as college and grad students juggling intense transitions. Many of my clients are outwardly successful but inwardly overwhelmed, navigating burnout, ADHD, breakup grief, or quiet identity shifts that don’t always have a name. You don’t have to perform here. You just have to be real. My background as a Certified Intrinsic Coach and Integrative Mental Health Professional (in progress), along with my health coaching experience, informs the way I help clients reconnect with their bodies, energy, and lifestyle patterns. As a culturally responsive and trauma-informed clinician, I honor the complexity of your lived experience and how systems, culture, and upbringing shape your current emotional landscape. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and honest. We explore patterns, identify root blocks, and build tools that actually feel usable in your day-to-day life. I integrate a lifestyle lens; meaning I consider how your emotional well-being is connected to your habits, roles, energy, and environment. Whether you’re managing multiple roles (work, school, parenting, caregiving. etc.), recovering from a breakup, exploring your next chapter, or simply exhausted from holding it all together; I hold space for the full spectrum of your experience. You’ll be met with warmth, truth, and care as we navigate your path to Healing, Growing & Soaring.
