Dr Kathryn Foster
Psychologist, Ph.D., Psychologist
When I was working on my PH.D., I left to pursue a masters in marriage and family therapy, because I saw how special approaches were needed. I like to see the unique relationship, it's special qualities, and then turn to what doesn't work.

Phillip McCulley
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CSAT
I work with couples and individuals who want support strengthening their relationships or navigating ongoing challenges within them. This includes married couples, long term partners, LGBTQ couples, and people in non traditional or non monogamous relationships. I believe healthy relationships are built on trust, communication, and emotional safety, and that there is no single right way for a relationship to look.
In therapy, I help partners better understand each other’s needs, improve communication, and address patterns that lead to conflict or disconnection. This may include working through issues related to intimacy, boundaries, infidelity, or differences in values and expectations. I offer an affirming and respectful space where all identities, relationship structures, and experiences are welcomed without judgment.
Whether your goal is to repair and strengthen your relationship or to gain clarity about its future, therapy can help you move forward with greater understanding, honesty, and connection.

Dr. John VanderKaay & The Center for Mighty Marriages & Families
Marriage and Family Therapist, DMin, LMFT, BCPCC, BCPC
Marriage is the highest human relationship. It is arguably the hardest one to do well. We are intended to learn how to be married well by watching our dad and mom be married well. If we didn't see that, we must learn somewhere else.
I help couples build trust, have effective communication and conflict resolution skills, and get and stay emotionally attuned and connected to each other, regardless of what life throws at them.

Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT-Associate
Relationships are shaped by emotional patterns, not just communication skills. I help couples move beyond surface-level arguments and into the deeper needs, fears, and longings underneath. My approach focuses on emotional safety, understanding each other’s inner worlds, and building new ways of relating that feel more secure and connected. Whether you are stuck, disconnected, or hurting, we work toward meaningful and lasting change.

Relationships & Couples Therapy: The Courage to Connect
Moving from Conflict Loops to Secure Attachment
Relationships are the primary "systems" we inhabit, and when they are in distress, every other part of our lives—our work, our health, and our parenting—feels the impact. With over 20 years of experience and specialized training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), I help couples move beyond the surface-level "who said what" to address the deeper attachment needs that drive your conflict.
Deconstructing the "Cycle"
Most couples find themselves stuck in a "negative dance" where one partner pursues and the other withdraws. We work together to identify:
The Pursuit-Withdraw Loop: Understanding how your partner's shut down might be a survival strategy for overwhelm, and how your "pushing" might be a desperate bid for connection.
Rejection Sensitivity & Attachment Trauma: Addressing how past wounds and childhood attachments "show up" in your current arguments.
The Impact of External Systems: Using Systems Theory to explore how social constructs of power, gender roles, and even spiritual expectations influence your dynamic.
A Specialized Clinical Framework
I offer a sophisticated, research-backed path to relational repair:
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): Considered the "gold standard" for couples, EFT helps you de-escalate conflict and create a "secure base" where you both feel seen, safe, and valued.
Discernment Counseling: For couples on the brink of divorce or separation who aren't sure if they want to repair or uncouple. I provide a structured, neutral space to gain clarity.
Intensive Repair for High-Conflict: Integrating EMDR to process individual traumas that are leaking into the relationship and fueling chronic volatility or burnout.
For the "Professional" Couple
I have a "special love" for working with healers, pastors, and therapists in relationship. I understand the unique burden of maintaining a "public image" of a healthy marriage while struggling in private. I provide a confidential sanctuary where you can drop the "expert" roles and focus on the raw, human work of loving one another.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
The greatest factor in the quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. When love breaks down, everything else feels shaky. The distance grows, conversations turn tense or quiet, and what once felt natural starts to feel like work. You may be stuck in cycles of arguing, avoidance, or wondering if trust can ever be restored.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe every couple can learn to love more deeply—with honesty, empathy, and grace. Our Christian counselors help you heal from the past, understand the present, and build a future marked by peace, purpose, and partnership.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend faith-based wisdom with proven relationship methods—Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems work, and communication coaching—to help you:
• Rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal
• Communicate clearly without criticism or withdrawal
• Heal old wounds that fuel anger, shame, or fear
• Strengthen friendship, intimacy, and shared spiritual connection
• Experience genuine joy and unity that lasts
Every conversation is grounded in empathy and truth. We help you slow down, listen well, and rediscover each other through the lens of grace.
Whether you’re newly married or years into a challenging season, there is hope. You can restore what’s been lost and create something stronger than before.
At Rising Calm Center, we help couples reconnect with purpose, love with courage, and grow together in Christ-centered peace.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Jaclyn Davis
Psychologist, PhD
Disconnection, tension, and repeated arguments can leave you wondering if real change is possible. You may long to feel heard by your partner without conversations turning into conflict. As an experienced couples therapist, I create a safe, supportive space where both of you can express yourselves, learn to communicate more effectively, and begin to rebuild trust and connection. Drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and psychodynamic principles, I help couples explore underlying emotional patterns and create lasting, meaningful change in their relationship.
