Rye Fox , LCSW

Rye Fox’s career in mental health began as a wilderness field instructor in North Carolina, where working directly with young people in outdoor settings ignited a deep passion for substance use treatment, experiential care, and nature-based therapies. Rye’s therapeutic approach centers on helping clients discover their core values, develop intrinsic motivation, and build lasting resilience while honoring the essential role that joy and active engagement play in sustainable recovery.

Rye is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR Certified Therapist with 5 years of specialized experience in adolescent and mental healthcare. Rye earned a Master of Social Work (CSW) with a Substance Use Disorder certification from the University of Kentucky in 2023. 

Before joining the team, Rye provided clinical care across a wide spectrum of treatment environments, from non-profit addiction treatment programs serving individuals recovering from extensive incarceration or prolonged homelessness, to top-tier luxury rehabilitation facilities. Most recently, Rye spent over two and a half years working directly with adolescents and their families in long-term residential treatment, specializing in complex trauma, disrupted attachment, ADHD, disordered eating, body image concerns, and LGBTQIA+ identity support.

Rye brings an adventurous, energetic spirit to both clinical work and daily life. An avid outdoorsperson, Rye enjoys hopping between Dave Matthews Band concerts, writing and playing music, painting, tattooing, building out a custom bus conversion, and training for trail marathons alongside their dog, Binks.
