Amy Karbasi
Psychologist, PsyD
I know that starting therapy is a huge step in your life, and choosing a therapist is an important, and often tough, decision. This can be a daunting process, and I hope to put you at ease. A therapist-patient relationship is a very unique and special one, and you are trusting me with information about your personal life, thoughts, and feelings. I take that very seriously. It can take time to build that sense of trust. My top priority is that we take the time to make a genuine connection so that you feel safe, respected, understood, and supported in your sessions with me. I believe that is the foundation of truly good therapy and is necessary for growth, change, and progress. I have been in practice as a psychologist for many years, and I have gained a lot of experience and expertise treating many types of physical and mental health problems. I’m really proud of that, but my proudest, most treasured moments have been when my patients express feeling truly understood and cared about during our work together, and when we can celebrate their successes together. I’m confident that my empathy and passion for being a psychologist and helping people through their most difficult life circumstances will come across to you, too. Whatever you are going through, I’m with you, and you can feel assured that you are in good hands.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.

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.
