Dr. Sarah Arango
Psychologist, PhD
As a bicultural and bilingual therapist, I provide services in English and Spanish. I use a trauma-informed and integrative approach in therapy, and I incorporate various types of therapy, such as DBT, CBT, and ACT, depending on your needs and preferences. With couples, I use the skills-based Gottman Method of Couples Therapy. I am also a part of PSYPACT.
I value each client’s cultural background and use an authentic and collaborative approach in therapy. I provide a space for clients to explore and process their experiences and help them develop skills to navigate challenges and create lasting change.
Please contact me if you would like to learn more. I look forward to hearing from you!

Practical Psychology, Inc.
Psychologist, Ph.D.
I believe that change is possible, even when life feels overwhelming. As someone whose mind tends to move fast, dig deep, and resist “fitting in,” I’ve learned firsthand how isolation, frustration, and burnout can grow from being misunderstood.
In my practice, I offer a place of understanding, clarity, and transformation. I help clients map how their unique thinking, energy, and attention patterns affect relationships, work, and daily life. Together, we create strategies and habits that align with who you are—so that your strengths become the foundation for growth, not sources of struggle.
I provide this support virtually across 44 states—and I’m committed to meeting you exactly where you are, and helping you move toward what’s next.

Dr. Olivia Blandford
Psychologist, Ph.D.
With degrees in neuroscience and clinical health psychology, I am passionate about and highly familiar with the links between our brains, our bodies, and our mental and emotional experiences, and I feel deeply privileged to have a career in which I get to share this important knowledge and helping others feel less alone in their journeys. I help individuals and couples with relationship problems like conflict, betrayal, loneliness, and estrangement, as well as the difficult feelings these problems bring. I also specialize in stress and trauma and am passionate about helping people make sense of highly stressful life events. I also love physical activity and strongly believe our mental health is holistic, and we take care of our minds and hearts by taking care of our bodies.
Above all else, my mission is to show up for you as a fellow human who cares about your story and is truly paying attention. Combined with a decade of clinical expertise, I prioritize warmth, authenticity, humor, and kindness. I won’t just sit there and nod. With me, you can expect individual therapy and marital therapy that is quality, research-backed, and tailored to your needs. I strive to be the kind of therapist that I always wanted as a client: someone willing to dive deep and offer enthusiasm and encouragement along the way. You deserve nothing less. see myself as a collaborator, a fellow human who gets what it’s like to struggle and can offer feedback, celebrate your strengths, and help you reach a better understanding of yourself and others. I also value your input and feedback throughout therapy so I can make sure I deliver what you are needing.

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.
