Shawn Eaton, LMSW
Founder & Therapist at Rising Recovery PLC
Finding Your Way Forward, Together
Sometimes, it’s hard to name exactly what’s wrong. Maybe it’s anxiety, depression, or just a sense that something feels off. If you’re white-knuckling your way through the day, know this: you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
As a licensed therapist providing online therapy across Michigan, I help adults and couples navigate stuck patterns, rebuild connection, and move toward lasting change.
Why I Started Rising Recovery PLC
After years in private practice and community mental health, I founded Rising Recovery to offer something different — a therapy experience that feels deeply human.
Warmth and honesty are just as essential here as professional expertise. No one has to prove their pain to be supported.
I hold a Master of Social Work (LMSW) and a certification in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — a proven approach that helps individuals and couples heal emotional wounds and strengthen connection.
My Approach to Therapy
I don’t see people as broken. I believe your pain makes sense in the context of your story. Together, we’ll gently untangle what’s holding you back—with care, clarity, and curiosity.
My style is collaborative, emotionally honest, and practical. No therapy jargon. No pretending. Just two humans doing real work in real time.
What I Work With
I specialize in therapy for adults and couples navigating:
-
Anxiety and overthinking
-
Depression and emotional numbness
-
Relationship struggles and disconnection
-
Trauma and attachment wounds
