About Rising Recovery PLC

Attachment Focused Therapy for Adults and Couples in Michigan

Rising Recovery PLC provides online psychotherapy for adults and couples throughout Michigan. We help people understand the emotional and relationship patterns behind anxiety, conflict, disconnection, and self-doubt so they can create meaningful, lasting change in their lives and relationships.

A Family Owned Practice

Built Around Connection

Rising Recovery PLC was founded in 2020 by Shawn and Elona Eaton, a husband-and-wife team who wanted therapy to feel more personal, thoughtful, and human.

After working in hospital-based care and private practice, we saw how easily therapy could become rushed, overly clinical, or focused only on helping people manage symptoms. Coping tools can be useful, but we wanted to create a place where the work could also go deeper.

Rising Recovery was built around the belief that lasting change begins when people feel understood and can make sense of what is happening beneath the surface. Our work focuses on the emotional and relationship patterns that shape how people respond to themselves and to those they care about.

Our early work grew out of addiction treatment and recovery. Since then, Rising Recovery has developed into a broader attachment-focused psychotherapy practice serving adults and couples across Michigan.

"Rising Recovery was built on trust, compassion, and a deep respect for each client’s story."

WHY CHOOSE US

How We Show Up for You

I

Collaborative

Therapy is something we do with you, not to you. We work together to understand what’s happening, what feels stuck, and what meaningful change would look like for you.

II

Accessible

Online therapy removes travel and makes it easier to begin and stay consistent. You can attend sessions from your home, office, or another private space anywhere in Michigan.

III

Attuned

We pay attention not only to what happened, but to how it felt, what it meant, and what became difficult to say or ask for when emotions were high.

THERAPY THAT GOES BENEATH THE SURFACE

Understanding Patterns. Creating Change.

Many of the struggles people bring to therapy begin to make more sense when we understand what is happening beneath them. Anxiety, overthinking, shutdown, conflict, people-pleasing, and emotional distance are often ways of managing fear, hurt, pressure, or disconnection.

Our therapists use attachment-informed approaches to help people slow these patterns down, understand what keeps them going, and create new ways of responding. Emotionally Focused Therapy is central to Shawn’s work, while the other clinicians draw from their own training, backgrounds, and areas of expertise.

The goal is not to become a different person or to handle everything perfectly. It is to have more choice when difficult emotions appear, stronger relationships, and a clearer sense of how to move forward.
