Rising Calm Center
Life Coach, MA, CMHC
support individuals experiencing suicidal thoughts with deep compassion, care, and a trauma-informed, faith-based approach. I provide a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore overwhelming pain, hopelessness, and emotional distress while helping clients stabilize, feel grounded, and reconnect with reasons for living. Together, we gently work through underlying wounds, build coping tools for moments of crisis, and restore a sense of hope, dignity, and support. My heart is to walk alongside individuals toward healing, safety, and the life-giving hope found in Christ.

Dr. Howard Chusid
Licensed Professional Counselor, Ed.D, LMHC, NCC, MAC
Why do people want to commit suicide? What about this life and this world is making them say "they want to leave"? Each of us has our own secrets that we think know one will understand. Those dark places which many of us go too, appears to be the answer to our problems. But, is it? If we could show someone that their are alternative answers that will allow them to live and have a good life, that is what we need to do. Thoughts are just the beginning of the road whose ending finishes everything. We need to give people an alternative, that is rational and achievable. Something that they will be able to hang on too, that will make the difference.
