Kisha Winston-Watkins
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW-C, MBA
Caring for your mental health is a vital part of your spiritual walk. Scripture reminds us to “be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Romans 12:2) — a powerful truth that highlights how emotional wellness and spiritual growth work hand in hand. In Christian counseling, I offer a compassionate, faith‑centered space where you can explore how God’s Word, prayer, and spiritual practices can support your healing and strengthen your daily life.
Whether you’re facing emotional challenges, seeking clarity, or longing for deeper spiritual alignment, I meet you exactly where you are. Together, we will navigate life’s difficulties through a blend of clinical support and biblical principles, helping you find peace, purpose, and renewed strength. My goal is to help you grow spiritually while restoring your emotional well‑being, so you can live a life rooted in faith, resilience, and God‑given identity.

Dr. L A McCrae
Licensed Professional Counselor, LCADC, FOT, CCTP, CCTSA
This is Christian Counseling grounded in liberation theology and the Black prophetic tradition, specifically for those harmed by institutional religion. We use bibliotherapy and the works of Howard Thurman to reclaim the "Word" as a tool for your freedom. This is a space for spiritual seekers to deconstruct oppressive theology and find a faith that actually breathes.

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.
