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.

The Florida Center for Healthy Sexuality
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA, CST, CSAT
Being a Sex Therapist, I like potential clients to know that I deliberately create a safe, non-judgmental environment both online and in person. My dream is for sex and relational health to be honored and easy to talk about, and for the myths and realities of what is possible to come to light.

Allison Falzone
Therapist, LMSW
Life can look perfectly fine on paper and still feel overwhelming. Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable adults who are used to being the ones others rely on, yet privately struggle with anxiety, OCD, self-doubt, or relationship challenges. My approach is warm, practical, and focused on helping clients understand the patterns keeping them stuck so they can feel more confident, grounded, and equipped to navigate life's challenges.

Lauren Chase
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, PhD, LCMHC, NCC, BC-TMH, PMH-C
I help ambitious, high-achieving women overcome burnout and set boundaries so they can rest without guilt and enjoy the lives they have built. Although you may appear capable and composed, you may privately feel exhausted from carrying so much. If you grew up with an emotionally immature parent, you may have learned to prioritize others’ emotions while minimizing your own needs. These patterns can contribute to people-pleasing, overthinking, self-doubt, and difficulty setting boundaries.
