Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Have you ever wondered why you feel like you’re not enough—no matter how hard you try? You accomplish, serve, achieve, and still sense a quiet ache of inadequacy underneath it all. That voice of comparison or guilt keeps whispering, “You should be doing better.”
At Rising Calm Center, we help you understand that voice for what it is—not truth, but a wound. Our Christian counselors walk with you to heal the root causes of shame, perfectionism, and fear, so confidence can grow from the inside out.
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 biblical identity work with evidence-based therapies—CBT, ACT, IFS, and somatic calming tools—to help you:
• Silence the inner critic and build self-compassion
• Recognize and rewrite the false stories that fuel insecurity
• Strengthen your sense of worth through God’s truth, not performance
• Cultivate boundaries, resilience, and courage in relationships
• Live with calm assurance instead of constant proving
You were never meant to earn your value—it was given. When you begin to see yourself as God does—chosen, capable, and loved—peace replaces striving, and confidence becomes quiet strength.
If you’re ready to rise above self-doubt and walk in steady assurance, we’re here to help you rediscover your God-given worth.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Rising Calm Center
Life Coach, MA, CMHC
I help individuals struggling with low self-esteem, self-doubt, and negative self-perception uncover the deeper wounds, beliefs, and experiences that have shaped how they see themselves. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed, and faith-based approach, I support clients in challenging distorted thinking, healing emotional wounds, strengthening self-worth, and rebuilding identity from a place of truth rather than shame. My desire is to help individuals grow in confidence, self-compassion, and a secure identity rooted in Christ.

Self Esteem
Kreins Psychological Services
Psychologist, PhD, PsyD
As a psychologist specializing in self-esteem, my approach to therapy is focused on fostering a sense of worth, confidence, and self-compassion in individuals. Through evidence-based interventions such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), narrative therapy, and strengths-based approaches, I help clients identify and challenge negative self-beliefs while building on their strengths and achievements. By exploring past experiences, societal influences, and interpersonal dynamics, we work collaboratively to address underlying factors contributing to low self-esteem. Additionally, I teach practical techniques for assertive communication, setting boundaries, and practicing self-care to promote self-empowerment and resilience. My goal is to support individuals in developing a more positive self-concept, enhancing their overall well-being, and navigating life with greater confidence and authenticity.

Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Your relationship with yourself influences every area of your life. When your self-esteem has been affected by past experiences, criticism, trauma, difficult relationships, or unrealistic expectations, it can become hard to trust yourself, recognize your strengths, or believe that you are worthy of love, success, and happiness. You may struggle with self-doubt, perfectionism, people-pleasing, fear of failure, or constantly comparing yourself to others. At Holding Space Therapy, we provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you can explore the experiences that have shaped the way you see yourself. Together, we'll identify the negative beliefs and patterns that keep you feeling stuck while building a stronger foundation of self-confidence, self-compassion, and emotional resilience.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), EMDR, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, we'll work to challenge self-critical thoughts, process unresolved experiences, strengthen healthy boundaries, improve emotional regulation, and develop a more balanced and compassionate view of yourself. If low self-esteem is connected to childhood experiences, emotional abuse, trauma, or difficult relationships, therapy can help you heal those underlying wounds rather than simply addressing the symptoms. Our goal isn't to help you become someone different—it's to help you reconnect with the person you've always been beneath fear, self-criticism, and limiting beliefs. As your confidence grows, you'll be better equipped to make decisions that align with your values, cultivate healthier relationships, advocate for your needs, and pursue the life you want with greater clarity and self-assurance.
