About
Are you a Christian who loves God, yet feels emotionally drained, anxious, or overwhelmed—and quietly wonders why peace still feels out of reach?
Many Christians are faithful, prayerful, and trying hard in their work and family—yet still struggle with anxiety, stress, and relational pain. At Rising Calm Center, we understand why—and we know how to help.
We offer a FREE consultation for new clients and often have availability to meet this week. Evening appointments are available Monday–Thursday to accommodate for those busy schedules. Curious about cost? We offer a sliding fee scale based on household income and can work with insurance options, so professional Christian care remains accessible.
Life can feel exhausting when fear wakes you at night, when your mind races despite prayer, or when burnout and self-doubt begin to erode both confidence and connection. Holding everything together can start to feel like survival instead of the abundant life Jesus promised. At Rising Calm Center, we help young professionals, students, couples, and families slow down, find calm, rebuild trust, and experience REAL PEACE—without pressure, shame, or spiritual shortcuts.
Our Christian counselors and coaches integrate faith-based wisdom with evidence-based care, drawing from approaches such as CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, trauma-informed practices, and nervous-system regulation. We work with the whole person—mind, body, emotions, and spirit—helping you understand the root of what you’re experiencing and giving you practical tools to regain steadiness, clarity, and hope starting from your very first session. Our team includes Board Certified Christian Counselors (BCCC), Marriage and Family Therapists, trauma specialists, ABA therapy, and more.
Most people were never taught how to calm their fears, focus their thoughts, or stay grounded when stress and anxiety hit. At Rising Calm Center, we provide a clear, compassionate path forward—tailored to your goals, your faith, and your season of life. Sessions are confidential, respectful, and paced to honor your story.
With offices in Jacksonville, Gainesville, and Orlando, Florida, Rising Calm Center is a Christ-centered place where emotional healing and spiritual formation come together—so you can move from coping to healing, and from exhaustion to a steadier, more hopeful life.
Christian counseling for anxiety, stress, and relationships—where emotional healing and spiritual formation come together.
Why I Became a Professional Christian Therapist
I became a Christian counselor because I know what it’s like to look fine on the outside while living in quiet anxiety on the inside. As a child, I barely spoke. When I did, I whispered to my older brother, who often spoke for me. In school and relationships, I learned how to stay small, manage fear, and hold everything together—until anxiety and frustration began spilling out in ways I didn’t understand.
As we began learning how fear affects the nervous system—not just thoughts or behavior—something shifted. I found my voice. I learned steadiness under pressure. I realized anxiety didn’t have to define my future.
Later, as my faith deepened, I discovered an even greater truth: real transformation doesn’t come from trying harder or masking pain with spirituality. It comes from letting God meet us in our fear and heal us from the inside out. After living a divided life for years, God led me into a more wholehearted, integrated way of living—where faith and emotional health work together.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck between faith and fear, I offer a free consultation to help you discern next steps and see whether working together feels like the right fit.
