Cynthia A. Criss
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, LPCC, CSAT
Cynthia can assist you in resolving relational trauma. Relational trauma refers to emotional injury that occurs within the context of a close relationship, such as childhood trauma, abusive relationships, neglect, or betrayal. This trauma can cause lasting impacts on one’s ability to form healthy attachments and establish trust in future relationships. The effects of relational trauma may include:
Difficulty trusting others or feeling emotionally safe in relationships.
Low self-esteem and feelings of inadequacy or worthlessness.
Fear of abandonment or rejection.
Emotional dysregulation, including mood swings or difficulty coping with stress.

Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
The greatest factor in the quality of your life is the quality of your relationships. When love breaks down, everything else feels shaky. The distance grows, conversations turn tense or quiet, and what once felt natural starts to feel like work. You may be stuck in cycles of arguing, avoidance, or wondering if trust can ever be restored.
At Rising Calm Center, we believe every couple can learn to love more deeply—with honesty, empathy, and grace. Our Christian counselors help you heal from the past, understand the present, and build a future marked by peace, purpose, and partnership.
We even offer same-week appointments, in-person and virtual sessions, and a sliding fee scale that works with any insurance or budget—so care is flexible and accessible when you need it most.
We blend faith-based wisdom with proven relationship methods—Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), family systems work, and communication coaching—to help you:
• Rebuild trust after conflict or betrayal
• Communicate clearly without criticism or withdrawal
• Heal old wounds that fuel anger, shame, or fear
• Strengthen friendship, intimacy, and shared spiritual connection
• Experience genuine joy and unity that lasts
Every conversation is grounded in empathy and truth. We help you slow down, listen well, and rediscover each other through the lens of grace.
Whether you’re newly married or years into a challenging season, there is hope. You can restore what’s been lost and create something stronger than before.
At Rising Calm Center, we help couples reconnect with purpose, love with courage, and grow together in Christ-centered peace.
Hope and healing can begin today—call or email for your FREE CONSULTATION.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer strengths-based, topic-focused therapy for couples with a generally stable relationship foundation. This work can help partners understand one another more deeply, communicate more clearly about the topic, prepare thoughtfully for challenges, and approach important decisions with greater intentionality. Although I remain attentive to the broader context of your relationship, the specific area bringing you to therapy will remain the primary focus. If you are seeking therapy centered on the relationship as a whole or on concerns spanning multiple areas, comprehensive couples therapy with another provider may be a better fit.
My couples work is limited to three areas:
**Pre-marital or pre-commitment therapy** offers a guided, semi-structured opportunity to prepare for a life together. We may explore communication and conflict, trust and commitment, intimacy, values and expectations, identities and cultures, family and community, finances, careers, work-life balance, and your shared goals and vision for the relationship.
**Financial therapy for couples** focuses on the psychological, emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of money. Our work may involve understanding each partner’s money history and beliefs, communicating more openly about finances, navigating differences in values or risk tolerance, addressing financial anxiety or avoidance, and approaching shared decisions more collaboratively and intentionally. This service is psychotherapy rather than financial planning or advising.
**LGBTQ+ family-building therapy for couples** supports partners who share a commitment to pursuing parenthood and want help choosing among or navigating possible paths to building their family. This may include assisted reproduction, surrogacy or gestational carrier arrangements, adoption, or other paths to parenthood. Therapy can help you clarify values and priorities, communicate about genetic or gestational connections and family roles, manage medical, legal, logistical, emotional, and financial demands, and navigate uncertainty or setbacks together. This is not discernment therapy focused on whether to become parents.
Across all three services, the goal is to help you engage the topic as a team while making room for each partner’s experiences, needs, values, identities, and perspectives.
