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.

Being a Christian means that the 'worldly' ways of counseling may not be helpful to you or congruent with your spiritual pursuits.
28 Years Experience
Online in Gainesville, FL (Online Only)
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.
