EFT
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.

Vickie Bhatia
Psychologist, Ph.D.
You're doing everything right, so why does it feel like it's not enough? That question shows up constantly in my work with high-functioning adults and couples who look put together from the outside and are quietly exhausted on the inside. I help people who are used to handling things on their own figure out what's not working, whether that's a relationship stuck in the same fight, a pattern of overthinking that won't quiet down, or a life that checks every box and still doesn't feel like theirs. I bring honest, grounded feedback and 15+ years of clinical training and experience to that work. If you're tired of managing everything alone, reach out.

Richard Scott, Ph.D.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Life can be challenging, and sometimes we find ourselves far from where we want to be or struggling to feel the happiness we deserve. Therapy provides a valuable opportunity to reflect, gain clarity, and work toward the life you envision. It’s truly a privilege to help my clients navigate their struggles and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. If you're ready to take that step, I’d be honored to support you on your journey.
