Rising Calm Center
Professional Christian Counselor, MS, CMHC, CLC
Raising a loving, united family today means facing pressures no generation has ever seen. The constant pace, screens, and stress leave many parents—and their kids—exhausted and disconnected. What should be years of joy and discovery can become seasons of anxiety, defiance, or quiet withdrawal. You might see your child losing motivation, melting down over small things, struggling in school, or shutting you out completely. It’s hard to know when to step in or what to say—and even harder to watch them hurt.
At Rising Calm Center, we come alongside both parents and kids to restore understanding, structure, and peace in the home. Our Christian counselors create a warm, judgment-free space where young people can express emotions, build healthy coping skills, and grow in confidence—rooted in who God created them to be.
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 use developmentally attuned, evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT skills training, play and art therapy, family systems work, and somatic calming tools—woven together with faith-based encouragement and practical family coaching.
Together, we help your child:
• Understand and manage big emotions
• Reduce anxiety, irritability, and impulsivity
• Strengthen focus, responsibility, and resilience
• Heal from trauma, bullying, or self-esteem wounds
• Improve communication and rebuild trust at home
Whether your child is battling school stress, peer pressure, family conflict, or identity challenges, we help them—and you—find peace, purpose, and lasting growth.
You don’t have to parent through the storm alone. Hope and healing can begin here.

Orka Health and Wellness, PLLC
Counselor/Therapist, MSW, LICSW, LMFT, LPCC
Empowering the Next Generation
Through our team’s close connections with the thoughts, struggles, and dreams of children and their families, one thing has become abundantly clear: mental health, self-esteem, and how a child sees themselves in the world mean everything.
We know that for a child to thrive, they need to feel understood in their own language. That is why we work with clients ages 10 and older using a blend of deep clinical empathy and modern innovation. To bridge the gap between traditional talk therapy and a child’s natural way of engaging, we utilize specialized software designed to keep them interested and empowered in their own healing.
Our clinicians begin with a full assessment of your child’s needs, partnering with both the child and the family to set meaningful goals. From building self-esteem to processing trauma, we are here to help your child see themselves as the resilient individuals they truly are.

Twenty-first century parenthood can be a challenge because the issues are different from when we were growing up, and the stages of family life may seem overwhelming at times. Smart families get the help that they need to thrive. Family therapy for child and adolescent issues is a proven remedy.

Mosaic Counseling
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Adolescence is a time of growth, self-discovery, and transformation, but it can also come with challenges like anxiety, stress, identity struggles, and relationship issues. Our therapy services for teens provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Through a combination of techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and emotion regulation skills, we help teens develop tools for coping with pressures, building resilience, and strengthening their mental health. Whether they’re facing school stress, social pressures, or family dynamics, our goal is to empower adolescents to feel more confident, understood, and in control of their emotional well-being.
