About Phoenix Bloom Therapy
At Phoenix Bloom Therapy, we believe that healing, growth, and renewal are possible, even during life’s most challenging transitions. Inspired by the symbolism of the phoenix, our practice reflects a commitment to resilience, meaningful change, and the restoration of hope for individuals and families navigating complex circumstances.
Based in Kentucky and providing telehealth services throughout Kentucky and Ohio, Phoenix Bloom Therapy specializes in trauma recovery, grief, addiction, caregiver support, and family-centered care. Our approach integrates evidence-based therapeutic practices with a systemic understanding of how individual experiences, relationships, and broader systems of care influence well-being.
The foundation of Phoenix Bloom Therapy reflects more than 18 years of experience in human services, family advocacy, and behavioral health. Beginning with work in domestic violence advocacy and family support, this professional journey has included supporting individuals and families through mental health challenges, substance use disorders, chronic illness, trauma, and significant life transitions.
Both professional and personal experiences have shaped a particular commitment to addressing gaps in services for families navigating complex behavioral health needs. These experiences have reinforced the importance of continuity of care, caregiver inclusion, and access to meaningful support before, during, and after periods of crisis or treatment.
Today, Phoenix Bloom Therapy is dedicated to providing a compassionate, clinically informed environment where individuals and families can strengthen relationships, establish healthy boundaries, develop practical safety plans, and pursue healing at their own pace.
Heal • Bloom • Rise
Supporting individuals and families through healing, connection, and renewed possibilities.
Lina’s Story
Lina’s story is the heartbeat of Phoenix Bloom Therapy. She was—and remains—a bright, brave, and deeply loved soul whose struggle illuminated the gaps that exist within our compulsory system of care.
Her journey revealed what families endure when compassion, coordination, and aftercare break down. In her memory, this practice was founded to bring those missing pieces together—creating a trauma-informed, family-centered continuum of care that honors every life touched by addiction, grief, and systemic failure.
Through Lina’s Story, I am committed to ensuring that the families I serve feel supported and seen during moments of crisis related to addiction. Every client, consultation, and supervision session carries her legacy forward—transforming loss into advocacy and pain into purpose.
Lina’s life continues to guide this work, reminding us that recovery is not only about survival, but also about rebuilding safety, meaning, and connection for every person and family who walks this path.
My Professional Journey
I am a marriage and family therapist licensed in Kentucky and Ohio, as well as a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor (LICDC) in Ohio and a Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor (LADC) in Kentucky. I combine lived experience with specialized clinical training to support individuals and families navigating trauma, grief, and addiction.
I hold a Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy with an emphasis in Systemic Trauma Informed Care.
I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Medical Family Therapy, with a focus on systems reform, trauma-informed care, and addiction recovery. My future research will explore how family inclusion, aftercare coordination, and policy implementation can improve outcomes for people impacted by substance use disorders and severe mental illness, particularly within frameworks such as Casey’s Law and Tim’s Law.

Our Promise
At Phoenix Bloom, our promise is simple: to walk alongside you with honesty, compassion, and unwavering respect for your story.
We promise to:
- Honor your lived experience as an invaluable source of wisdom and strength.
- Create a trauma-informed space where every emotion, every loss, and every step toward healing is met with empathy—not judgment.
- Bridge the gap between systems and families by translating complex care pathways into clarity, connection, and coordinated support.
- Integrate lived and professional expertise so every recommendation is grounded in both knowledge and humanity.
- Carry forward Lina’s legacy by advocating for what is missing in addiction recovery—so no family has to navigate this journey alone.
- Be honest about what therapy can and cannot do. We cannot promise to save your loved one’s life. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we can be there with you and your family on the journey.
Cultural Diversity Statement
At the heart of my practice is a deep respect for the dignity, inherent worth, and lived experiences of every individual. I am committed to providing affirming, inclusive, and culturally responsive care that honors people of all races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions, abilities, and backgrounds. I believe healing and growth thrive in safe, nonjudgmental spaces where diversity is not only respected, but celebrated.
