• About Rising Tides

    The people, passion, and purpose behind the practice.

Rooted in connection. Growing with purpose.

Rising Tides began with a simple idea: therapy works best when people have the space to show up as themselves. As the practice has grown, that belief has remained at the heart of the work—thoughtful, individualized care shaped by genuine connection, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique experiences and needs.

Meet The Team

Madison Lowe Askins, M.S., LPC

Maddie founded Rising Tides with a belief that therapy can be both evidence-based and deeply human. She specializes in OCD and anxiety-related concerns and enjoys helping children, teens, and young adults navigate identity, relationships, ADHD, and life transitions through a collaborative, individualized approach.

Founder and Licensed Professional Counselor

Savasha Butler, M.S., LPCA

Savasha believes therapy should make room for the whole person—not just the problem that brought them through the door. With a warm, person-centered approach, she works with individuals and couples, creating space to explore their experiences, relationships, and goals in a way that feels personal and supportive.

Licensed Professional Counselor Associate
Administrative Manager

Morgan Strickland

Morgan keeps Rising Tides running smoothly behind the scenes and serves as the primary point of contact for the administrative side of the practice. She supports clients with scheduling, insurance, billing, and the details in between, providing a familiar and helpful point of contact outside the therapy room.

Rising Tides was created to be a place where you can show up as yourself.

Whether we’re meeting in the office, through telehealth, or spending time outdoors at the farm, therapy can look a little different depending on what feels most helpful for you.

And of course, Steve, Maddie’s small co-therapist, may occasionally make an appearance at the office.
