Unchained Brain LLC
Psychologist, PsyD
Unchained Brain is built on the belief that therapy should help you make sense of your experiences, not just cope with them. I work with adults who want a thoughtful and supportive approach to therapy, especially when stress, anxiety, cognitive concerns, or health changes begin to affect daily life. Clients often tell me they feel heard, understood, and relieved to finally connect the dots between their thoughts, emotions, and brain functioning. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines compassion with clarity, and helps you move forward with confidence, I’d love to connect. Clients often seek me out when they want clarity, structure, and a deeper understanding of how the brain, emotions, and daily functioning are connected, including support with thinking skills, organization, and cognitive changes.

Kelsey Ellis
Psychologist, Ph.D., LCP
Many of the women I work with are capable, caring, and used to holding everything together, even when it comes at the cost of their own bandwidth. From the outside, life may look steady, but internally there can be tension, exhaustion, or a quiet sense of disconnection. I offer trauma informed, relational therapy for women who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and find a way of living that feels more sustainable. My work is grounded in attachment and nervous system awareness, and I approach therapy as a collaborative process rooted in genuine conversation rather than quick fixes. If you are looking for a space where you can show up honestly and feel met as a whole person, I invite you to connect for a consultation.

Dr. Dawnn R. Meiers
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Currently accepting clients! My approach is grounded in 25+yrs of experience as a psychotherapist and community educator. I’m passionate about helping people grow through the tough stuff – and also thrive during messy or dark life seasons, with interventions drawn from the research-supported "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, which includes mindfulness and acceptance approaches, in addition to existential therapy, positive psychology, and nature prescriptions. Expect invitations for behavioral "experiments," culturally-relevant self-help resources, and client-centered compassionate care. Schedule a free 15 minute consultation to discuss your needs today.

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.
