Rising Calm Center

Samantha Wright is a non-licensed Christian counselor and coach whose mission is to help people encounter Jesus and walk in His resurrection power. Her passion for this work flows from her own powerful testimony of transformation. After spending many years battling depression and struggling with codependency, unwanted same-sex attraction, addiction, destructive behaviors, and deep despair, Samantha encountered the redeeming love of Jesus Christ, who rescued her, restored her, and made her a new creation. Because of this personal journey, Samantha carries deep compassion for those who feel stuck, broken, or hopeless. She is passionate about helping others encounter the healing love of our triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—and believes that no one is beyond the reach of God’s grace. Through Christ, she believes true healing, freedom, and transformation are possible. Samantha holds a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Social Work from Southeastern University and a Master of Arts in Pastoral Counseling from Liberty University. She also has experience as a substance abuse counselor, walking alongside individuals seeking recovery and freedom from addiction. In addition to her professional experience, Samantha has spent the past several years serving as a healing and deliverance minister through Christian Healing Ministries, receiving training in healing prayer and spiritual freedom. Samantha creates a safe and compassionate space where clients can process their stories, encounter God’s healing presence, and grow in their identity in Christ. Her heart is to help people overcome past wounds, discover their God-given purpose, break free from destructive patterns, and step into the abundant life God created them to live.
