Our Mission at Uplift & Inspire Counseling and Consulting

The vision for Uplift & Inspire Counseling and Consulting began with founder Domonika Tipton, LMSW, whose early life experiences shaped a deep passion for creating safe, supportive spaces. Growing up with a chronically ill parent, she learned firsthand the weight of grief, responsibility, and resilience—and the importance of emotional care.

With that foundation, Domonika pursued a career in social work, earning her Master’s degree and becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker. Over the years, she served in schools, community agencies, and clinical settings, where she witnessed a common truth: people often carry heavy burdens without access to affirming, compassionate care.

In 2020, Domonika launched Uplift & Inspire Counseling and Consulting in Lansing, MI, with a mission to provide therapy that is both clinically effective and deeply human. The practice is built on empathy, cultural sensitivity, and equity—offering individuals, couples, and families a safe space to heal, grow, and thrive.

Today, Uplift & Inspire is more than a counseling practice—it’s a sanctuary for healing. Through therapy, consulting, and mentoring the next generation of mental health professionals, Domonika continues her lifelong mission: to uplift the weary, inspire the uncertain, and empower every client to rediscover their strength.
