James C. Carpenter, PhD, ABPP
Psychologist, PhD (Clinical Psychology, Ohio State U), Board Certified in Clinical Psychology (ABPP), PSYPACT
My clinical experience is wide and deep. I estimate I have conducted about 90,000 hours of psychotherapy sessions, including many hours training and supervising other therapists. This experience covers many modes: individual therapy, as well as family, couple and group therapy. My basic orientation is existential and psychodynamic, but I have added much training and experience in other approaches on top of that over the years. I am Board Certified in Clinical Psychology, ABPP, have served 2 terms as a board director and secretary for the American Academy of Psychotherapy, and previously trained young clinical psychologists and psychiatric residents at the University of North Carolina. We keep learning more about how to be effective therapists, and I have aggressively added to my clinical wisdom. I stand ready to work to understand you deeply, and help you profoundly, whatever your current dilemmas.

Narrative
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.

Narrative
Iam Jophiel, LCSW, SEP, CPAT, CCTP-II
Therapist, @ Embodied Sovereignty Therapy
I’m here to support you! I believe that you are more than what has happened to you, the roles you have learned to carry, or the ways you have adapted to survive. Therapy can offer a space to reconnect with yourself beneath those experiences, while honoring the wisdom, complexity, and humanity you already bring with you.
I approach my work with you with curiosity, compassion, intuition, and deep respect for your autonomy. My intention is to offer a relationship and space where you can feel seen and supported, listen more deeply to yourself, and explore what becomes possible when you have greater access to awareness, choice, and your own embodied wisdom.

Narrative
Rizaldy R Ferrer
Psychologist, PHD
I’m a clinical psychologist who believes therapy works best when it feels thoughtful, collaborative, and genuinely human. I work with adults who may be navigating stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, emotional patterns, questions of identity or direction, or simply a sense that something in their lives is no longer working as well as they would like.
My approach is grounded in evidence-based psychology, but I do not believe therapy should feel mechanical or overly clinical. I try to understand each person in the context of their experiences, relationships, values, and the ways they have learned to cope with life. Together, we look not only at what is difficult, but also at the patterns underneath those difficulties and the possibilities for responding differently.
I often help clients develop greater self-awareness, tolerate discomfort more effectively, challenge rigid or unhelpful ways of thinking, and make gradual changes that are realistic and sustainable. At the same time, I believe therapy is not simply about fixing problems. It can also be about understanding yourself more deeply, becoming more intentional in how you live, and creating a life that feels more aligned with what matters to you.
My practice is provided entirely through online therapy, allowing me to work with clients from the privacy and convenience of their own space. I currently provide teletherapy to clients in states where I am licensed or authorized to practice through PSYPACT.
