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.

Debra Nelson
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I understand that your life is complex and there are various demands and expectations at different life stages that can be impacted by situational and mental health struggles. It's important to be mindful of the interaction between those demands and your stage of life.
My experiences are diverse. I have worked for over twenty years with individuals, couples, and groups across the lifespan and socioeconomic spectrum by providing a range of clinical services including assessment, consultation, and psychotherapy. I know how challenging asking for help can be and I strive to work collaboratively with clients, both validating your feelings and experiences while helping you to uncover patterns and obstacles that are holding you back from reaching your goals.
I seek to provide treatment in an integrative way, utilizing Solution-Focused, Interpersonal, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Using these modalities we will focus not just on difficulties, but on areas of strength and positive coping mechanisms. As part of my work, I am always happy to collaborate with medical doctors, attorneys, in-home therapeutic teams, and school systems to ensure that all providers working with you or your family are in sync with the goals you are striving to achieve.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Reaching out for help can be a difficult thing for most of us, but I hope to make that process easier for you. I provide a compassionate and safe space for you to learn and grow, and to make the improvements you are seeking in your life. I work with adults using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, relaxation training, and other health and behavioral interventions to address many issues including anxiety, stress, chronic pain, migraines, tension headaches, sport injury and recovery, POTS and dysautonomia, and the improvement of work, school, and sport performance. I am also able to write Emotional Support Animal Letters (ESA Letters) and letters for ADA Accommodations or Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA).

Mackson Psychology
Psychologist, Samantha Mackson, Psy.D.
I became a psychologist because I genuinely enjoy helping people navigate the challenges that life inevitably brings. Starting therapy can be a meaningful first step toward creating positive change in your life, and I feel fortunate to be able to be a part of that journey. My approachable and down-to-earth style helps create a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself from the very beginning. I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and the stressors that often come with being a teen, college student, graduate student, young professional, or new mother. Above all, I am committed to creating a warm, trusting, and open environment where you can feel understood, supported, and free to be yourself. I truly love what I do and feel lucky to have a career that allows me to connect with people and support them through different stages of their lives. I look forward to getting to know you and being a part of your therapy journey.
