Daniel Snow
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Recent events, and especially the pandemic, have shown how essential mental health is for all of us. I believe strongly in access to care, which is why using both telehealth and insurance are important. I'm also dedicated to evidence-based approaches that are specifically focused on each person or couple. There's no 'one size fits all' in terms of what approach we use, as long as you can see it being helpful to you and relevant to what you need. Please see below for more information about how I can help. And if you'd like a consultation, please reach out.

Kelly McAleer
Psychologist, Psy.D.
You may be accomplished, capable, and the person others rely on, yet still find yourself overthinking, second-guessing, or feeling like what you do is never quite enough. I offer thoughtful, engaged therapy that goes beyond simply managing symptoms to understand the patterns, relationships, and experiences that keep you stuck. With nearly nearly 20 years of experience, I provide a warm, down-to-earth, and inclusive space where people of all identities and backgrounds are welcomed and respected.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Life can feel so heavy when anxiety won’t let your mind rest, when fear wakes you at night, or when stress and self-doubt erode your confidence and faith. When burnout creeps in and relationships begin to crack, holding it all together can start to feel overwhelming.
At Rising Calm Center, we understand that weight. Our Christian counselors help young professionals, couples, and families find calm, rebuild trust, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—rather than performing under the pressures this world demands.
We integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, Gottman, EFT, Narrative Therapy, trauma-informed work, tapping, and breathwork. This combination helps you retrain your nervous system, heal emotional and spiritual wounds, and live with genuine peace.
Clients often come to us struggling with anxiety, insomnia, panic attacks, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, or a sense of spiritual disconnection. Here, you’ll find compassion, honesty, and practical tools to feel safe in your body and centered in your spirit again.
What we offer:
• Free consultations for new clients — relief can start now
• Same-week availability, including evenings (Mon–Thu until 8 p.m.)
• Sliding-scale rates for affordable care
• In-person, telehealth, or phone sessions
You don’t have to face the storm alone. There is calm on the other side—and together, we can find it.
