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.

Dr. Cheryl D La Rotta
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Ph.D, LMHC
I believe that healing isn’t about being 'fixed'; it’s about rediscovering the person you were before challenges told you who to be. My practice is built on the belief that a safe, non-judgmental space is the ultimate catalyst for change. Here, we move at your pace, trading 'shoulds' for self-compassion. Together, we’ll navigate your unique story with a blend of professional expertise and genuine human connection, ensuring you feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead a more authentic life. Your journey will not be alone.

Jenelle N. Ashley
Counselor/Therapist, LMHC, MCAP, CCTP
You deserve a life that feels more peaceful, fulfilling, and genuinely your own.
Sometimes, the hardest part is understanding why you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, second-guessing yourself, struggling with self-worth, feeling anxious or overwhelmed, or carrying the pressure to hold everything together. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand your story, and begin making different choices.
I work with adults who are ready to better understand themselves, strengthen their self-worth, and develop healthier ways of navigating relationships, emotions, and life’s challenges. Together, we can explore the experiences and patterns that may be keeping you stuck while building greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional flexibility.
You are the expert on your own life. My role is to provide the support, perspective, and tools to help you better understand yourself and create meaningful change. A strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of that process, and I strive to create a space where you feel understood, respected, and safe to be honest about what you're experiencing.

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.
