Dr. Elizabeth Coldren
Psychologist, PSYD, PSYPACT
I specialize in working with estranged families and have done this work for over 25 years, long before “estrangement” became a common term. I support adult children and parents who are navigating separation, cutoff, long‑standing disconnection, or early attempts at reconnection. Many families come to me unsure what is possible, what they want, or how to move forward without repeating old patterns or causing further harm. The families I work with are often thoughtful and self‑aware, but feel unsure how to apply that insight to such a painful, layered situation.
My approach draws on family systems therapy and is rooted in trauma‑informed care, relational repair, and deep respect for the complexity of family history. Sessions often explore what led to the estrangement, what may or may not be repairable, and what each person needs in order to feel emotionally safe. We look closely at communication patterns, boundaries, intergenerational trauma, and the roles each person has carried over time. When reconnection is desired, we move in careful, stepwise ways that are tolerable and sustainable for everyone involved.
I meet with adult children and parents, as well as estranged adult siblings who wish to participate together. This service is offered online for adults in PSYPACT states, including families who live in different states and want to meet together in a format that is emotionally safer and more feasible. My role is to offer structure, clarity, and close attention so the work does not move faster than anyone is ready for or stay stuck when more is possible.

Psychologist, PsyD, License Psychologist
I help individuals and couples improve communication, reduce conflict, strengthen boundaries, and better understand the patterns affecting their relationships. Many clients are balancing demanding careers, stress, parenting, or major life transitions while trying to maintain emotional connection. In therapy, we work on practical tools for clearer communication, healthier conflict, trust, intimacy, and mutual understanding. My goal is to help clients build relationships that feel more stable, honest, and supportive.

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.
