Meet Sarah Strasser
Sarah Strasser is the founder of Phoenix Rise Media, a Denver‑based social media marketing agency dedicated to elevating the voices of recovery organizations, treatment centers, therapists, and nonprofits across Colorado. With a background in political science, social media management, and HIPAA‑aligned digital strategy, Sarah blends creativity with compliance to help mission‑driven organizations show up online with clarity, confidence, and heart.
After years of supporting businesses in Denver Colorado Sarah saw a gap in the recovery industry: treatment centers and behavioral health providers needed ethical, trauma‑informed marketing that honored the dignity of the people they serve. Phoenix Rise Media was born from that vision — a commitment to storytelling that is hopeful, human, and never exploitative.
Sarah is known for her world‑class copywriting, SEO strategy, and ability to translate complex clinical concepts into accessible, engaging content. She specializes in full-service social media marketing/management, scalable workflows, and compliance‑safe social media strategies that help organizations grow without compromising ethics or privacy. Her work is rooted in authenticity, collaboration, and a deep respect for the recovery journey.
When she’s not crafting content or building marketing systems, Sarah is brainstorming creative campaigns, exploring Colorado’s recovery community, or finding new ways to make ethical marketing both powerful and practical. Phoenix Rise Media is more than a business — it’s her way of helping organizations spark hope, strengthen community trust, and create lasting impact. She is a volunteer at Max Fund cat shelter, has a BA in Political Science, is social media marketing certified, and HIPAA certified. She loves soccer and her family.
Sarah's Story
For more than a decade, Sarah Strasser built her career behind the scenes — shaping narratives in PR, managing social media for mission‑driven brands, and serving as an executive assistant who kept entire organizations running with precision and heart. She learned how to communicate clearly, support leaders, manage crises, and build systems that make big visions possible. But beneath all of that professional experience was a personal journey that would eventually redefine her purpose.
Through her own experiences with recovery, Sarah discovered a calling that went far deeper than traditional marketing work. She saw firsthand how powerful — and how fragile — the recovery community can be. She also saw a major gap: treatment centers, sober living homes, therapists, and nonprofits desperately needed ethical, trauma‑informed, HIPAA‑aligned marketing that honored the dignity of the people they serve. No exploitation. No sensationalism. No shortcuts.
Just truth, hope, and impact.
In late 2025, Sarah founded Phoenix Rise Media with a simple but profound mission:
to make recovery more accessible for everyone by helping organizations show up online with integrity, compassion, and compliance.
Today, Phoenix Rise Media blends Sarah’s professional expertise with her lived experience — offering recovery organizations the kind of marketing support that builds trust, strengthens community connections, and protects the people at the heart of the work.
But Phoenix Rise Media is also a personal legacy. Sarah is building a future of financial freedom and stability for herself and her son, while creating work that genuinely matters. Every strategy session, every piece of content, every system she builds is rooted in the belief that ethical marketing can save lives, reduce stigma, and help more people find the support they deserve.
This isn’t just a business.
It’s a mission.
It’s a rebirth.
It’s a way to make a real difference in the Colorado recovery community — one ethical, compliant, hope‑centered story at a time.
