At RIZE Center, we believe mental health care should be personal, compassionate, and centered around each individual’s unique needs. Our mission is to provide high-quality psychiatric care that empowers adults and older adults to improve their emotional well-being and overall quality of life.
We recognize that healing looks different for everyone. That’s why we take the time to listen, understand your concerns, and develop personalized treatment plans that may include medication management, holistic wellness strategies, lifestyle recommendations, and collaborative care—all guided by evidence-based psychiatric practices.
Meet Ashley T. Young, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BC
I’m Ashley T. Young, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and founder of RIZE Center.
Throughout my career, I have supported older adults and their families through the challenges of aging, including dementia and changes in health, independence, and care needs.
My path to psychiatry is also personal. My own challenging journey through foster care inspired me to deepen my understanding of mental health and pursue advanced training in psychiatry.
At RIZE, we look at the bigger picture. During your initial evaluation, we explore your emotional and physical health, life experiences, sleep, relationships, daily habits, and support system. Medication is one option, but it is not always the best approach.
