Saint Louis, Missouri therapist: Chileme U Ochulor, psychiatric nurse practitioner
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Chileme U Ochulor

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, DNP, PMHNP-BC
At Primebridge Psychiatric Care, my goal is to provide compassionate, patient-centered mental health care in a supportive and respectful environment. I believe that every individual deserves to be heard and understood, and I work collaboratively with patients to develop treatment plans that support their emotional well-being and overall quality of life. I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management for conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and trauma-related disorders. Whether through in-person visits or secure telehealth appointments, I strive to make mental health care accessible, personalized, and focused on helping patients achieve stability and long-term wellness.

Los Angeles, California therapist: Timothy Weymann, licensed clinical social worker
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

Timothy Weymann

Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (L.C.S.W.)
What makes my therapy practice exceptional is the balance I bring between heart and science. I don’t believe therapy should feel clinical or distant—it should feel human. I create a space where clients feel deeply seen, heard, and respected, while also drawing from research-based approaches that are proven to create meaningful change. I am intentional about building genuine relationships, because I know healing happens in connection. At the same time, I stay grounded in evidence-informed methods so our work is focused, practical, and effective. My clients aren’t just supported—they’re empowered. They leave with insight, tools, and a stronger sense of themselves. Part of what makes my practice great is that it is not one-size-fits-all. It’s thoughtful, compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual.

Gainesville, Florida therapist: Rising Calm Center, professional christian counselor
Motivational Interviewing (MI)

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.
