Dharele Lewis
Therapist, LLMSW, EMDR-Trained
I help adults who are carrying quiet pressure like anxiety, overwhelm, identity shifts, grief, or emotional exhaustion and need a space that feels real, safe, and collaborative. My style is warm, direct, and culturally attuned. I believe therapy works best when you don’t have to shrink yourself or explain away your lived experiences.
In our work, we explore what’s happening beneath the surface, strengthen what’s already resilient in you, and build practical tools that support long-term change. I blend cognitive, somatic, and narrative approaches to help you understand your patterns and reconnect with parts of yourself you’ve had to put on pause to survive.
If you’re looking for a therapist who shows up with honesty, respect, and curiosity and who treats you like a whole person, not a diagnosis then I’d be honored to support your process.

Deb, Munni
Psychologist, PhD
Hello, I am Dr. Deb. I work with individuals who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or navigating important life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper understanding of themselves, often related to anxiety, depression, identity concerns, family-of-origin issues, or relationship challenges. As a woman of color and a first-generation college graduate, my lived experiences shape the way I show up in the therapy space. I bring a multicultural, compassionate lens and strive to create an environment where you feel seen, respected, and understood.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to your values, needs, and goals. I integrate evidence-based practices to help you build self-awareness, develop practical tools, and take meaningful steps forward. Together, we will untangle unhelpful patterns, strengthen your sense of self, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and sustainable.
I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is essential for healing. I strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered. I offer a free consultation to help you determine if we are a good fit and to explore how I can support you. Please feel free to reach out with any questions.

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.

James Parker
Psychologist, PhD
I view therapy as a collaborative interaction in service of understanding the best forms of quality human relating. My approach to therapy is primarily guided by Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an approach to treatment that is different from many others in that - instead of focusing on what is "negative" or "wrong" and trying to change or alter it - the purpose is to genuinely understand a person's symptoms; to curiously explore why maintaining certain patterns of thinking and behavior is emotionally necessary, even when a person is feeling stuck because of those patterns. Understanding the symptom leads to identifying the underlying emotional reasons of why we do things and addresses the cause of feeling stuck, not just the symptom, which leads to meaningful and lasting changes.
