I honestly believe that even the best couples occasionally need to partake in relationship counseling, our partner is the one person that we take everything out on good and bad, and almost every couple that I have counseled, each individual feels like they’re doing 90% of the daily work in the household. It can be a wonderful gift for both of you to be able to talk to someone who can objectively see how both of you can unite and be stronger than you were before.

Haven Psychology Group
Psychologist
Relationship distress often develops through recurring patterns rather than because one person is simply the problem. Our psychologists help clients and couples identify cycles of conflict, withdrawal, resentment, or disconnection while improving communication, understanding, boundaries, and healthier ways of relating.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
The greatest factor in the quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. When love breaks down, everything else feels shaky. The distance grows, conversations turn tense or quiet, and what once felt natural starts to feel like work. You may be stuck in cycles of arguing, avoidance, or wondering if trust can ever be restored.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe every couple can learn to love more deeply—with honesty, empathy, and grace. Our Christian counselors help you heal from the past, understand the present, and build a future marked by peace, purpose, and partnership.
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 blend faith-based wisdom with proven relationship methods—Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems work, and communication coaching—to help you:
• Rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal
• Communicate clearly without criticism or withdrawal
• Heal old wounds that fuel anger, shame, or fear
• Strengthen friendship, intimacy, and shared spiritual connection
• Experience genuine joy and unity that lasts
Every conversation is grounded in empathy and truth. We help you slow down, listen well, and rediscover each other through the lens of grace.
Whether you’re newly married or years into a challenging season, there is hope. You can restore what’s been lost and create something stronger than before.
At Rising Calm Center, we help couples reconnect with purpose, love with courage, and grow together in Christ-centered peace.

Theresa McCay Boutross
Marriage and Family Therapist, LCSW, CADC. CMFT
With over 25 years of experience as a couples and family therapist, I have witnessed countless marriages transform and thrive, often coming back from the brink of dissolution. The key factor that unites these couples is a shared willingness to grow rather than a stubborn willfulness. Individual growth fosters healthier functioning within the marriage, paving the way for renewed connection.
As a Gottman-trained therapist, I utilize evidence-based methods to help couples build strong foundations of friendship, intimacy, and trust. I also incorporate discernment counseling, a process designed to help couples experiencing ambivalence about their relationship. This approach allows partners to explore their feelings, identify the dynamics at play, and decide on the best path forward—whether it’s strengthening the relationship or considering separation.
I understand that many couples face complex challenges, such as infidelity, addiction, or personality disorders, which can strain relationships. However, through exploration of relational trauma and acceptance therapy, healing becomes possible. My training in Imago Relational Therapy, Gottman, Family Systems Therapy, and Complex Relational Trauma Treatment further enhances my ability to guide couples in fostering compassion, forgiveness, and understanding.
Together, we can navigate these challenges, helping you and your partner rebuild trust and understanding while creating a deeper, more fulfilling relationship. Let’s embark on this transformative journey toward lasting connection and resilience.
