Dr. Mona E Stribling
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Aloha and welcome! You have taken a courageous next step in reaching out for help. It's not easy to talk to someone you don’t know about difficult and often private things about your life. Most clients say they feel nervous in the beginning of therapy. So, you want to find the right therapist for you. Good for you for ‘shopping around.’ Please see below more about me and how I work!
But please know, our rapport is just as important as the training and experience I offer you. For therapy to be successful, you need to feel heard, understood, accepted by, and connected to your therapist. So, I also invite you to learn about my style and approach as well as my areas of expertise, and if you feel we would be a good fit, I would be very honored to join you on your path to wellness. Together, we’ll help you achieve your goals and find greater meaning, happiness, productivity, and fulfillment in your life!

Edmund LaBarbara
Psychologist, PsyD
I specialize in assisting clients who are dealing with anxiety and OCD-related disorders. During our initial sessions, we will thoroughly explore these challenges and work together to create a personalized plan. Many of my clients notice a significant reduction in their symptoms within the first month, which often leads to lasting improvements in their overall well-being.
I earned a Doctorate and a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology from Chatham University in Pittsburgh, PA, in 2018. Prior to that, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh in 2008. Additionally, I completed a two-year postdoctoral training program at Harvard Medical/McLean Hospital’s OCDI residential program in Belmont, MA.
I am passionate about providing culturally sensitive care and strive to create a comfortable space for individuals with diverse sociocultural identities.

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.
