Libby Shaw
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, ATR-BC, LPAT, ACS
Whether this is your first time in therapy or you're returning to continue the work you started, something brought you to this search today. Starting therapy can feel intimidating, even if it isn't your first time. I believe that the foundation of counseling is the therapeutic relationship created between the therapist and client: we are creating a team, and that requires trust, transparency, and feeling safe. It will be my goal to meet you where you're at and work at your pace, while also pushing you to meet the goals you outline for your treatment. I understand that whatever has brought you here is deeply personal and sensitive, and I vow to treat our counseling space with honor and respect. Feel free to reach out to me through email or phone call and we can set up a time to have a free consultation to see if we would be a good match to work together.

Dr. Alisha Desai
Psychologist, PhD
I am a firm believer that we are all capable of change. At the same time, I understand how difficult and scary change can be - even if it's what we want most. My goal is to help others build the confidence to see themselves fully and move through life based on their own inner compass.
My approach is collaborative, practical, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I aim to create a space where you can be honest about what you’re experiencing, without judgment, while developing concrete tools to navigate challenges, build resilience, and live a life that feels more meaningful and aligned with your values.

Peter D. Ruffini, Sex & Porn Addiction Expert
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdS, MA, LPC, LPCMH, ACS, EMDRPT-II, CSAT-C
As an award-winning psychotherapist, I specialize in high-impact individual therapy for capable men. With over 15 years of experience and advanced trauma training, I’m known for my work in pornography addiction, sex addiction, and men’s mental health. My practice is frequently sought out by other therapists who refer men facing issues requiring specialized treatment—such as sex and porn addiction, trauma, anger, infidelity, and anxiety. I have also been featured in media speaking about these topics.
As a clinical supervisor, I train other therapists in gold-standard, evidence-based treatments. I provide expert, structured, results-oriented therapy for men who want real change—not generic talk therapy or surface-level coping. Clients reach out when they want depth, direction, and results so if you’re here, you’ve already taken the first step toward real change.

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.

Odom Psychological Services
Psychologist, PsyD
I am a licensed psychologist who works with adolescents and adults. My clinical approach is direct, collaborative, and practical. I want clients to understand what is contributing to their difficulties and leave therapy with skills they can use in their everyday lives.
My background includes clinical and forensic psychology settings. I have worked with people experiencing trauma, emotional dysregulation, behavioral problems, interpersonal difficulties, and a range of other mental health concerns. That experience has made me attentive to the broader context of a person’s life rather than focusing only on symptoms or diagnostic labels.
In therapy, I primarily use cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavior therapy approaches. I adapt treatment based on the person in front of me, their goals, and what appears to be maintaining the problem. I tend to work well with clients who want an active therapist and who are willing to look closely at patterns in their emotions, behavior, relationships, and coping.
I value straightforward communication and a strong working relationship. I also use humor when it fits the person and the situation. My role is to help clients make sense of what they are experiencing, identify where change is possible, and build strategies that are useful outside of the therapy session.
