Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counsellor, 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.

Ashley Bargent Coaching & Counselling
Registered Social Worker, Associate Certified Coach, ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider MSW, RSW, ACC, ADHD-CCSP
Work is draining the joy from your life. Your confidence is dropping and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and don’t know where to start. You long for a job where your strengths will shine and you can live up to your potential. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, especially if you’re grappling with ADHD.

Shelley Murphy, Food & Body Image Hypnotherapist
Hypnotherapist, BASc, Former RD
I believe that meaningful change doesn’t come from forcing or fixing yourself, it comes from understanding yourself more deeply, and learning how to work with your mind and body, rather than against them. In my work as a clinical hypnotherapist, I often meet people who are capable, thoughtful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, overthinking, emotional eating, or self-doubt. These patterns can feel frustrating, especially when you’ve “tried everything” to change them. What I’ve seen, time and time again, is that real, lasting change happens when we gently access the deeper parts of the mind where these patterns are held. This is where hypnotherapy can be incredibly effective; supporting you to shift not just how you think, but how you feel, respond, and experience yourself day to day.

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.

Dr. Justin Dubé
Psychologist, Ph.D, C.Psych
I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy––learning alternate coping skills, trying new behaviours, and facing your fears–can often feel uncomfortable. To make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them.
