Greg Whittaker
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
I offer a Christian perspective to those who share the Christian faith. However, my approach is not a Christian formula and the majority of my clients are not Christian. I earned an undergraduate minor in Bible and Theology from Bethany University.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
God can anchor us in every storm—yet even strong believers can find themselves overwhelmed by anxiety, conflict, or pain that prayer alone hasn’t resolved. You might be wondering why peace feels distant, why old patterns keep resurfacing, or why you can’t seem to hear Jesus clearly in the middle of the noise.
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.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe healing is both spiritual and practical. Our Christian counselors blend the wisdom of Scripture with proven therapeutic approaches—CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, EFT, Gottman, narrative therapy and trauma-informed care—to help you experience renewal in mind, body, and spirit.
Together, we address the root of stress, fear, and relationship pain—not by suppressing emotion, but by inviting Christ into it. We’ll help you:
• Rebuild intimacy with God and others
• Overcome anxiety, shame, and self-doubt
• Heal wounds that block peace and purpose
• Strengthen identity and resilience through faith
Each session is a space for truth, grace, and transformation. You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, renew your thoughts, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—no longer striving for worth, but living from it.
If you’ve been searching for Christian counseling that goes deeper than advice or quick fixes, Rising Calm Center offers a path to lasting wholeness—grounded in Christ, guided by wisdom, and strengthened by love.

Monica M. Huston
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
For clients who value faith, therapy can be a place to thoughtfully integrate psychological and spiritual life. I offer a respectful space to explore questions of meaning, values, and belief alongside emotional and relational concerns. This work supports growth that feels aligned both personally and spiritually.

Salinas is the county seat of Monterey County and the birthplace of John Steinbeck, a city with a majority Latino population deeply rooted in the agricultural economy of the Salinas Valley, and a mental health landscape shaped by the significant challenges of agricultural labor, immigration stress, gang violence in some neighborhoods, and limited access to culturally and linguistically appropriate care. Spanish-language therapy is essential here, and the demand for bilingual practitioners who understand the specific stressors of farmworker and immigrant community life significantly outpaces supply. Natividad Medical Center, a county-run hospital, provides some behavioral health services, and community health organizations supplement what is a relatively limited private therapy sector. Common therapy concerns include trauma, family separation stress, anxiety, depression, and the intergenerational challenges faced by a community navigating the intersection of a demanding agricultural economy and evolving cultural identity.
