Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
We know the pains and frustrations of anxiety firsthand: What it feels like when your chest tightens, your mind races, and sleep feels miles away. Maybe you’ve tried thinking positive, pushing through, or even meditation—but the fear keeps coming back. You’re not broken. You’re just tired of living in fight-or-flight.
At Rising Calm Center, we don’t just manage symptoms—we help you understand what anxiety is trying to say. Our Christian counselors blend nervous-system regulation with faith-rooted practices so you can heal from the inside out, learning to feel safe in your body and secure in God’s peace again.
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.
Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and somatic tools—paired with biblical truth and prayerful reflection—we guide you to:
• Release chronic tension and racing thoughts
• Learn grounding and breath techniques for moments of panic
• Heal the roots of fear, shame, and control
• Build confidence and clarity in decision-making
• Strengthen your faith so fear no longer has the final say
You’ll discover how to live with calm in your body, courage in your heart, and trust in God’s steady presence—no longer ruled by anxiety, but guided by peace.

I draw from cognitive, somatic, and positive psychological approaches when working with anxiety. We will focus first on strategies to help you feel more in control of your present symptoms and struggles. We can then turn to working with underlying concerns to help you feel confident that real change is happening.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
Anxiety is more than just 'worrying'—it is a physiological state where your nervous system is stuck in a cycle of perceived danger. As a Doctor of Psychotherapy, I specialize in helping you move out of this state of hyper-vigilance. By utilizing EMDR and Hypnotherapy, we can address the 'glitch' in the brain’s alarm system, desensitizing the fears that hold you back. Whether you are battling a specific phobia, social anxiety, or the constant hum of generalized fear, our work is about teaching your body that it is finally safe to exhale.

Online in Gainesville, FL
Gainesville is home to the University of Florida, one of the largest universities in the United States by enrollment, and the city's character and mental health landscape are overwhelmingly shaped by this—a huge, young student population with significant academic, social, and identity-related mental health needs, supported by one of Florida's most comprehensive university counseling systems. UF Health Shands Hospital provides one of the state's strongest behavioral health services, making Gainesville an important regional resource for psychiatric care across north Florida. The population dynamic creates a city that is both progressive and college-town oriented, surrounded by a more rural north Florida context, and therapists in Gainesville work across a wide range of populations and presenting concerns. Common therapy concerns include academic stress, identity development, anxiety, substance use, young adult life transitions, and the particular challenges of a college community navigating mental health support often for the first time.
