Dayna Nelson, PsyD, LP
Psychologist, PsyD, Licensed Psychologist
All faiths, denominations, or secular beliefs are welcome at Dr. Nelson's practice. However, if you are a Christians and/or express an interest in exploring your faith, Dr. Nelson will give counsel from a Biblical perspective. There is power in the scriptures to transform lives, cope with stress, trauma or grief, and to help people to be set free from depression, anxiety, addictions, and many other problems of living. Dr. Nelson has found that using the scriptures and spirituality compliment evidenced based psychology, and helps motivated clients heal quicker than traditional techniques alone. Proverbs 16:24 says, “As a man thinks, so is he”. Neuroscience has identified neuroplasticity through brain imaging that shows we have the ability to change or re-wire our neurons by changing the way we think about things. This could also be summarized by Romans 12:12, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,”. The mind, body and spirit are all interconnected, and I will help you integrate all three to your treatment.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
God can anchor us in every storm—yet even strong believers can find themselves overwhelmed by anxiety, conflict, or pain that prayer alone hasn’t resolved. You might be wondering why peace feels distant, why old patterns keep resurfacing, or why you can’t seem to hear Jesus clearly in the middle of the noise.
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.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe healing is both spiritual and practical. Our Christian counselors blend the wisdom of Scripture with proven therapeutic approaches—CBT, DBT, IFS, ACT, EFT, Gottman, narrative therapy and trauma-informed care—to help you experience renewal in mind, body, and spirit.
Together, we address the root of stress, fear, and relationship pain—not by suppressing emotion, but by inviting Christ into it. We’ll help you:
• Rebuild intimacy with God and others
• Overcome anxiety, shame, and self-doubt
• Heal wounds that block peace and purpose
• Strengthen identity and resilience through faith
Each session is a space for truth, grace, and transformation. You’ll learn how to calm your nervous system, renew your thoughts, and walk in the peace Jesus promised—no longer striving for worth, but living from it.
If you’ve been searching for Christian counseling that goes deeper than advice or quick fixes, Rising Calm Center offers a path to lasting wholeness—grounded in Christ, guided by wisdom, and strengthened by love.

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, LCSW
God is at the center of life and it would be not be fair if we rely only on ourselves to heal our mental and emotional suffering. We need God’s help and I encourage this in all of my approaches to those who desire to invite God into their healing.

Tamara McCord
Licensed Professional Counselor, LMHC, LCAC
I am a Christian and love Jesus. I've also experienced hurt from religious abuse. Whether it's patriarchy, Christian Nationalism, or bad theology, we can use EMDR to set aside the trauma and focus on Jesus' true words and teachings.
