Gwen Evans
Life Coach, Bachelor of Social Work
Christian faith is about love for God, others, and self. I believe that as we seek to live out this mandate, we find genuine health and wellness in all parts of life. My goal as a Christian counselor is to help you find that balance and live from your true identity as a beloved son or daughter of God so that you can fulfill your God given destiny and be fully alive.

Dr. Annette Gallardo, PhD
Life Coach, Christian Marriage Coach for Wives
Are you a Christian wife who loves God and deeply desires a healthier marriage, but feels like you're the only one trying? My faith-based marriage coaching helps you apply biblical wisdom to everyday marriage challenges. Through prayerful encouragement, practical relationship tools, and God-centered guidance, you'll learn to respond with wisdom, communicate with grace, and establish healthy boundaries without carrying responsibility for your husband's choices. With God's help and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you can begin making healthy changes even when your husband isn't ready to participate. Online coaching is available nationwide in English and Spanish.

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.
