Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt.
At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be.
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 use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching.
Together, we help your child:
• Understand and manage big emotions
• Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity
• Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience
• Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds
• Improve communication and rebuild trust at home
Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth.
You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here.

iRecovery Behavioral Healthcare
Counselor/Therapist, LCSW, LMHC
Young people rarely ask to come to therapy, so the work has to earn their trust before it can go anywhere. iRecovery addresses child and adolescent issues including school refusal, behavioral difficulties, anxiety, depression, social struggles, and the effects of family disruption. Because young people exist within families and schools, we involve parents and caregivers as partners, helping the adults around a child respond in ways that steady a situation rather than escalate it.

Beth Kurland
Psychologist, Ph.D.
For over thirty years, I’ve had the privilege of working with children and adolescents to address challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, social anxiety, emotional regulation, depression, and academic or everyday pressures. With younger children, I work closely with parents, offering guidance and practical strategies that build resilience, connection, and emotional growth. With teens, I provide a safe, supportive space to explore their experiences and develop effective tools to manage challenges with greater confidence, agency and self-assurance.
