Real Stories of peace and clarity.

Words cannot describe how grateful I am for [Mel]! She inspired me to create my own business, helped me come up with the most amazing ideas, and laid out a floor plan with exactly how to do it. I don’t know where I’d be without her, not just business wise. If you’re looking for someone who is passionate and who actually cares, she is the ONE.

I get called out on my BS and then guided on how to improve my life and what’s going on. I feel understood and a connection with my therapist. Really happy with Calm AF!
We have real life situations to learn from versus made up stuff from a book. We are real people with real problems. If we are to have a real marriage we need real stuff and real tools to build from. I like that we have that here. I can honestly say my marriage is improving by having conversations and attending therapy
The office resembles a spa. Thus, I tell myself I'm going to the mental health spa.
I feel very secure with Grace, I feel like I've come quite a long way from where I was when I first started here. I look forward to our sessions.
I love how kind and professional everyone is. I love the dogs, my daughter feels very comfortable with Deja. I love that the office is always clean and neat.
Supportive and non-judgemental atmosphere. This place is amazing.

Everyone in the office, both Garner and Clayton are committed to excellence in the practice. They all stop and say hi when passing through the waiting area, and engage in conversation if they are not busy. It's been nice seeing the growth and the consistency in support.
My daughter likes it. We have been through 3 therapists and this is the longest she has stayed engaged.
Inclusive and doesn’t feel like the bigger practices where u get lost.
Jonathan is an amazing therapist! The whole vibe of Calm and Focused is exactly as it says, calm and focused. It's relaxing and beautiful inside the office. Everyone is so kind and getting to see the cute dog when we come is definitely a plus and puts a smile on your face 😊 10 out of 10! We love you guys and the work you do!
Aryan has exceeded my expectations as a therapist. She makes me feel comfortable, and I don’t feel like a “therapist & patient” relationship, but instead has made it into an environment that feels like a friend, which makes me open up and feel more comfortable. The environment itself is calming, clean, and she challenges me and sets new goals each session.
There is always plenty of time to discuss an issue(s) and leave with a concrete take away to try. Deja Jackson is very easy to talk to and has given me homework that has really helped with my day to day relationships.
I feel more confident about life after meeting with Grace each visit. Also I feel as if I’m the only patient Grace has, which of course is not true. I feel like I have her undivided attention to help me in my journey.
I like the balance between listening and guidance. It’s not just venting—I leave with something to think about.
